Moonsong
*Submitted by Dela*

 

Moonsong was an almost ethereal silver-white stallion, so very close to the Light that he sometimes seemed almost not present in the earthly world
 
As a foal he would stand stock still, ears forward listening, listening as though he could hear things that others could not.
 
He was of the first birthed generation of unicorns who Bonded with humans, son of a pair who fought against the Demon King.  When he reached the age that most unicorns Bond he did not listen to his teachers or tend to what they were saying to him about what he could expect.  He seemed almost distracted and gently tried to have them leave him alone.  No one knew however what he had planned but then, it is doubtful that they could have stopped him if they had have known.
 
He left the Academy in an unprecedented search for the one who would be his Bondmate.  After days of searching, he found him.
 
In the quiet village of ............. there was an important Chapel of the Light, protecting and keeping cleansed a powerful node.  The Chapel Keeper was tending his altar one night having been called by his faith from his bed.  He knelt by the altar in a sense of trust and with the full moon shining down through the open door.
 
All at once, the silvery light grew brighter, illuminating the entire chapel with a wondrous, magical glow.  There was a sound that he would later only be able to describe as the sound the moon makes as it rises. In awe and sensing that something marvellous was happening to him, the Chapel Keeper turned around to the open door.
 
There in the moonlight and seeming to emanate that silvered glow was a ghost-like unicorn who regarded him with an acceptance and love that filled his eyes, his heart and his soul.
 
When the Academy Uen Roug finally found Moonsong they discovered him with his First Bonded, looking so much a part of each other that no one present doubted that the Light had spoken.
 
Moonsong's talent may not have been termed a practical one but with it he gave great joy and a sense of pease.  He could draw down the light of the moon, to limn everything around him in that magical glow.  Those who were bathed in the silvery light felt themselves to be blessed and renewed.
 
The two served the Light and the people of ................. for many long years until the Chapel Keeper was almost as frail and ethereal as his Bonded had always appeared to be.   Moonsong and his Bonded are remembered for something they were both so fond of saying:  {{The Light is everywhere.}}
 
He and his Bondmate died together in their sleep one moonlit night high on a hilltop.  It is said that the local villagers were called to the hilltop by a strange silvery glow of moonlight circling the mound even after the day was breaking.  There was a bell-like humming in the air that reverberated around the hillside.  Only in the warmth of the summer sun did the silver light disperse and all who witnessed it knew that the spirits of Moonsong and his Keeper Bonded had gone safely to the Light.
