I can__ take back the past, Nadya. Not even we Unicorns can do that. But I__l be damned if someone else is going to control our future. I__e been away for too long, and I will always regret not being there for the Rourakin. But I have returned, and I am not leaving again.

How else do I describe what I see_what I feel? When I look at a plant, I do not see a green object. I see Life. I see energy. I see a will to exist like no other. When I see an animal, I see more than fur and bone and blood. I see Love. Love is all around us. And in us. And through us. Love is us. It is everywhere. I see it. I feel it. I hear it. I only wish all of you could, too. If you could experience what I do every moment of every day, there would be no anger, no hate, no killing. I want to share what I know with the entire universe, but my words fall on deaf ears. People go right on fighting and hating and killing. And there is nothing I can do.

The finding of the Valley is paramount for your kind. Survival for your race_even survival for the human race_depends on it. This quest is more important than you can ever understand. It will affect every living thing in this world for millennia to come. Do not waver from the search, no matter how difficult it may be.

I have watched for as long as stars existed, and only lived a short time. I am not as old as you, and ageless. You are family, beyond words, beyond song, you are mine and I am yours.
