⋆✧ Synopsis ✧⋆

''You have earned a hero's greatest reward: the peace you have earned with your own hands'... and what am I to do with peace? Frolic in the fields with the sheep and the dogs? Let myself grow rust in placidity?'

Following a 'forced retirement' of your knighthood, you discover a poor man caught in a poacher's trap - except this man is nothing like you have ever seen before. He's delicate, kind… and appears to be a unicorn.

When you are cursed while defending him, Atticus the unicorn takes you to his cottage and heals you. But healing from the wound is half the battle - more sinister transformations start to occur, and your honor and mettle are tested… will you succumb to the dragon that now lives in you, or will you let Atticus guide you towards a new life?

⋆✧ Meet Atticus ✧⋆

⋆✧ The unicorn you save, and the one who could save you. ✧⋆

Atticus is a kind-hearted yet meek unicorn, living deep in the forest. From years of being alone, he's not used to talking to people - but get him started on his garden, and you'll find it difficult to stop him! However, there's plenty more about him to discover...
