❥ The Unicorn overhears men in her forest talking about how her people (fellow Unicorns) have disappeared from the world.
❥ She leaves her forest to determine if their words are true.
❥ She encounters a butterfly who seems to recognize her and speaks of the Red Bull.
❥ She meets a man who mistakes her for an "old, white mare" because men - for the most part - no longer see the truth.
❥ After traveling for awhile, she becomes wearied and lays down in a meadow. Mommy Fortuna and her minion(s) (of which Schmendrick the Wizard is one) trap her in a sleep spell and put her in a cage.
❥ The Unicorn recognizes that one other in this traveling troupe of "horrors" (which consists mostly of poor animals who have been enchanted) is like her. They are not a mere enchantment. She warns Mommy Fortuna and Schmendrick of the Harpy and her wrath.
❥ Schmendrick manages to free her - not with magic, but with a key. The Harpy and the rest of the animals are then freed by the Unicorn's horn.
❥ Just as she predicted, the Harpy falls upon Mommy Fortuna and kills her - along with her dimmest of minions (Rukh) who tries to run. (You never run from a magical creature. Always walk calmly and hope they do not take notice.)
❥ When Schmendrick and the Unicorn enter the next town, the Wizard is captured by bandits and the Unicorn must free him.
❥ Amongst the bandits, there is a woman named Molly Grue, who chooses to follow them and the Unicorn has no objections.
❥ Once they reach Hagsgate - the town in the shadow of King Haggard's castle (the so-called ruler/controller of the Red Bull), they are taken in by the town's people because of Schmendrick's magic. They think he can break the curse on their town and the castle.
❥ Drinn - one of the residents of Hagsgate - tells them then of a prophecy concerning a child and he believes said child has been adopted by King Haggard.
❥ When the Unicorn, Schmendrick and Molly Grue leave the town to head to the castle, they are attacked by the Red Bull. The Unicorn tries to run, but she is not fast enough. Schmendrick transforms her via magic into a human woman and the Bull loses interest in pursuing her.
❥ The Unicorn suffers an awful shock, but eventually she is encouraged into continuing her quest.
❥ When the Unicorn is presented, at last, to King Haggard, Schmendrick calls her "Lady Amalthea".
Sorry about that!
