Chestnut thought about the story Sicillica had just shared. "It is a very nice tale about friendship and belonging. Almost makes me want a cat companion." he chuckled, then looked to Sicillica again. "I have another story, this one much more cheerful with a more satisfactory ending. I'm sure you must have heard it before, as just about all unicorns have their own version of it to pass down to their children. This is my kin's particular version of the tale."
With that, he cleared his throat loudly, albeit a very exaggerated throat clearing it was, which just might make the other unicorn roll her eyes if she was so inclined. Chestnut did love to put on a show.
"Among the unicorn elders of old,
There once lived a great warrior unicorn named Divinity, whose horn was of the purest gold.
Divinity was brave and fearless, and had immense skill with not only divine magics,
But also the longsword as he could take on a human form.
His longsword was known as the legendary "Longsword of Kings'',
And Divinity wielded it like no other unicorn could.
One day a meeting was called for all able unicorn warriors to attend.
A great enemy had been sighted on the horizon, leading a massive army of black knights.
These knights were called the 'Black Death Warriors', their leader being the most powerful of them all.
Divinity himself led the unicorns who were to battle these black knights
And purge this evil from their lands.
And so a great battle was fought, one that shook the very foundations of heaven and earth itself.
Divinity, like all his warriors fought bravely and fiercely,
Managing to drive off or kill most of the invaders.
He himself took on the challenge of confronting their leader, the infamous 'Dread Dominator'.
Wielding both his longsword of kings and calling upon his divine magics,
He was able to slay this mighty foe, felling him where he stood.
However, Divinity suffered a fatal wound and would not survive for much longer.
He looked around the battlefield as he lay there during his last moments,
Many of his warriors dead or dying around him with many more of the enemy also dead,
And thought to himself, 'This is it. We've won, finally.'
As his life continued to slip away, he received a visit from the Goddess of Unicorns herself, Epona.
She appeared to him in all her glory, and said to him,
''Divinity, you have fought bravely and with great honor.
You have saved your brethren from many terrors untold.
And for that, you shall be exalted amongst the stars for your sacrifice for all time.
Go forth peacefully now, Divinity, Great Warrior of Unicorn Kind,
You shall ever be remembered from this day forward.''
And so as the warrior unicorn took his last breaths,
He passed on and indeed became ascended among the stars of the heavens.
The Constellation of Divinity shines to this very day,
A bright and welcoming sight for all our kin.
Sometimes, when the stars align, this constellation can be seen at its brightest,
Providing hope and determination to all unicorns everywhere.
Many unicorns would pray to the Constellation of Divinity
Whenever they needed a boost in matters of courage or warfare,
And they were emboldened by this act of reverence each time.
Divinity's legacy would live on in the stars,
A mighty paragon of unicorn kind he was.
To this day, the Constellation of Divinity shines ever brightly,
A reminder to all that evil can be bested,
And many lives saved,
And that strength lies in the heart of each unicorn everywhere.
Divinity watches over us all,
And with it, our kind shall always prevail with whatever is thrown at us.
Good shall triumph over evil, and all will be well.
Divinity, our savior, shall live on forevermore."
Finishing the tale, Chestnut grinned then. "A much happier story, yes? What version of it do you remember?" He stretched out his legs, all four of them at that moment, pastel blue hair draped over his back with tail splayed out behind him, looking very much like a unicorn rug then. It looked pretty silly.
