Schmendrick: I am a bearer, I am a dwelling, I am a messenger… Molly: You are an idiot!I will stop crying long enough to reblog this…
The Last Unicorn
“Seeing the Bull driving the unicorns into the sea, Schmendrick said. “It was no dream. Haggard has them all now drifting in and on the tides for his delight - all but one.” The magician drew a deep breath.
“That one is the Lady Amalthea.”
“Yes,” Prince Lir answered him. “Yes, I know.”
Schemdrick stared at him. “What do you mean, you know?” he demanded angrily. “How could you possibly know that Lady Amalthea is a unicorn? She can’t have told you, because she doesn’t remember it herself. Since you took her fancy, she has thought only of being a mortal woman.” He knew quite well that the truth was the other way around, but it made no difference to him just then.
“How do you know?” he asked again.
Prince Lir stopped walking and turned to face him.
“I did not know what she was until now,” he said. “But I knew the first time I saw her that she was something more than I could see. Unicorn, mermaid, lamia, sorceress, Gorgon - no name you give her would suprise me, or frighten me. I love whom I love.”
“That’s a very nice sentiment,” Schemndrick said. “But when I change her back into her true self, so that she may do battle with the Red Bull and free her people —-“
“I love whom I love,” the prince repeated firlmly. “You have no power over anything that matters.”
