The Fiery Lord of the Unicorns

Fiction Friday challenged us to use 25 words to create a story and use as many words as we could...I got all 25 words and created a very interesting story that is really kind of wild and very weird!  But it was fun to get the creative juices flowing and "Play" with words....Thanks for the challenge!

Here are the words and the story...You should try it!

barge flare harsh ordinary sore bore floor hoard rare torch carve folklore lair scorn tore fare gorge lord snare unicorn flair hare marvelous soar warn

I  paid the fare to embark a barge for an exploring adventure…as I strolled on board, I noticed a crowd gathered in awe of a stunning sight…It was a unicorn  who had been trapped in a snare.  He was tore and sore, and gorging himself on Frosted Flakes that had been scattered like leaves across the deck floor.

Upon closer scrutiny, this was no ordinary unicorn of folklore, but of a marvelous, rare breed of flaming beauties.   This particular unicorn was the Fiery Lord of the Unicorns of the most High and Precious.  His muscles were rippled and cut, and his crown of hair had a flair…no seriously, a flare of fire! 

I tried to warn the others to stand clear of the torch upon his head, but they insisted a creature this rare had to be captured.  Again, they tried to coo him into their lair, this time baited with hare stew.    He wasn’t impressed, because aside from the occasional Corn Flake concoction, his usual feast consisted of a soup of four leaf clovers, golden apples and sweet cherry blossoms (of which they had none.)

The Unicorn threw them a harsh, scornful look, and then I happily watched him soar into the heavens,  carving his picture in the sky to mark that he was there… He was not a prize to hoard, but a beauty to be shared. Well, this trip was certainly no bore!

Yes, my unicorn is orange with wings....but that is the beauty of fantasy fiction right?

Here is my first pastel of an animal...you can tell its shape!... Yes, I'm still

learning how to blend...but I like the way I weaved his mane..

Nice story! I loved how your unicorn kept chowing down on cereal... And that you went to the trouble of illustrating. Now I feel lazy!

P.S. Thanks for the comment!
