[UNICORN]

[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]

[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]

YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.

BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

[ She floofs up her feathers and caws back. Hello! ]

I guess she kind of qualifies as both. I'm not sure if she's an indicator of how much this place has changed me— [ in so short a time, too ] —or something else.

Not that I'm complaining.

[ Now that's a curious way of looking at it. ]

What do you mean? You think she would take a different form if this place hadn't changed you?

I think she would have eaten me alive if this place hadn't changed me.

[ Scary??? So he explains a bit more. ]

When she first appeared, it felt like a test. And whatever it was, I passed.

[ Hewwo????? ]

Ah, I see...in that case, I'm glad you weren't pecked to death by a bird. That would have been unpleasant.

Definitely an awful way to go.

[ He is deciding not to share that she wasn't a bird when she first appeared. It's fine. ]

And she just...stays out all the time?

[ You know, outside their hearts or whatever. He's not questioning it. ]
