These magnificent creatures did not seem bothered by the presence of so many people. Most unusual indeed. The presence of Thereos did not frighten them either but this should come as no surprise. Unicorns and centaurs share the forest. If anything, Thereos's presence would be calming.

Mr. Bartholomew might have been a different matter - at least for the foal. It neighed in alarm as the giant squid approached the shallows. The others turned and looked but they didn't seem alarmed. The foal eventually went back to grazing, as if embarrassed by its outburst.

All the morning fog was now gone and the unicorns showed no signs of going back home.

What was going on?
