The wings were brand new. The two small buds on her back had blossomed into full-fledged wings covered with white feathers. She stretched these new extensions as far as she could, flexing the newly formed muscles taut.
She was sure that they made these new appendages for flying. How long had she wished to fly free like the eagle and the hawk?
She sniffed the air and pawed the ground. From a canter to a dead run, she was ready to spread her wings. At the cliff, the ground fell away, and she flew. It was unicorn’s first flight.
Love this. 😀 Such a great ending.
Thanks, Lucy! We’ve just got to spread our wings and fly. <3

You are the master! Now, tell that same story in 99 words! I loved that story btw! 🥰
No way. I think it would lose too much. I’m such a dork, that I hit the music as I read by and teared up for the rest.
Awww, I love that story. 😍
Love this unicorn story! Well done Sis <3
So fun! I love those flying horses! 😍
Wonderful Colleen.. could feel the wind beneath her wings…♥

This made me smile. Yay for the unicorns first flight.
I love unicorns… the best mystical creature ever! LOL! <3
My granddaughters and I agree:) Although dragons is a close second.
Oh yes! How could I not mention dragons. 😂
Sounds like a good day.
LOL! Right? It would be amazing to spread your wings and fly like that. <3
A lovely fantasy to enter into. I’ve always wished I could fly.
Right? Wouldn’t that be amazing? 🥰🦄
