"Speaking of livers," the Unicorn said. "Real magic can never be made by offering up someone else's liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back. The true witches know that."

"Only to a magician is the world forever fluid, infinitely mutable and eternally new. Only he knows the secret of change, only he knows truly that all things are crouched in eagerness to become something else, and it is from this universal tension that he draws his power."
- Peter S. Beagle, "The Last Unicorn"

"I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I'm full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep [or] die. I'm not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret."
- Peter S. Beagle, "The Last Unicorn"

UnformedWorldsMy Players are amazing. They are driving me to plot emotionally resonant plots that I can barely stop myself from spoiling, I want to share the glee so badly. I may spend the next two weeks with duct tape over my lips and hands. If all goes well, snippets will appear here afterwards.
But I will say (because it should be obvious to my players) that if you summon a unicorn and name it Amalthea anywhere within my range of influence, there will be consequences.

Frosch schwitzt… and the red bull covered their footprints.
"Where have you been?" Molly cried. "Damn you, where have you been?" ...
"I am here now," [the unicorn] said at last.
Molly laughed with her lips flat. "And what good is it to me that you're here now? Where were you twenty years ago, ten years ago? How dare you, how dare you come to me now, when I am this?" With a flap of her hand, she summed herself up: barren face, desert eyes, and yellowing heart. "I wish you had never come. Why did you come now?" The tears began to slide down the sides of her nose.
