Yue walked along the familiar path, her school bag bouncing gently on her back. The morning air was crisp, and the scent of pine filled her lungs. Suddenly, a rustle in the bushes caught her attention. Before she could react, a shadow darted out—a wolf, its eyes gleaming with an eerie intelligence. It lunged, leaving Yue with a sharp pain on her arm. As she staggered back, the world around her seemed to blur, and she felt a strange transformation taking hold.
Yue looked down at her hands—no longer human hands but paws covered in soft fur. Panic gripped her heart as she realized the wolf bite had changed her into a creature of the forest. Desperate and determined, she remembered the tales of the mystical unicorn living in the mountains, said to grant any wish. "I must find the unicorn," she whispered to herself, setting her resolve.
Oliver the owl, known for his wisdom, watched Yue with keen eyes. "You seek the unicorn, do you not?" he hooted, flapping down to a lower branch. Yue nodded, hope rekindling. "Follow the path through the valleys and into the mountains. I will guide you," he offered, a note of encouragement in his voice.
With Oliver flying overhead, Yue traversed the valleys, her senses heightened in her new form. The journey was fraught with challenges—steep climbs, treacherous streams—but with each step, her determination grew stronger. "I'm closer to becoming myself again," she reminded herself as she pushed onward.
As Yue entered the clearing, her heart skipped a beat. There, near the waterfall, stood the unicorn—a creature of ethereal beauty, its mane shimmering with every color of the rainbow. It turned its gentle gaze upon her, understanding and compassion reflected in its eyes.
Yue stepped forward, her voice trembling with emotion. "I wish to be human again," she pleaded softly. The unicorn nodded, its horn glowing with a soft, radiant light. As the magic enveloped her, Yue closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of transformation wash over her. When she opened them again, she was herself once more, a grateful smile spreading across her face.
