Unicorn
In the dappled light of a Forest Untamed, where the trees stood tall as ancient kings and the air hung heavy with secrets, 22 year old Steffi walked barefoot along the moss, covered path. Her dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, and her eyes, those eyes, held the fire of a thousand suns, burning bright against the green.
The forest was her solace, her sanctuary from the smallness of Millworth, that dreary town where men measured women by their clothes and not by the wildness within. Today, she had come seeking more, though what "more" meant, even she could not say.
As she stepped into a clearing, bathed in golden sunlight, she stopped. There, standing beneath an oak as old as time itself, was a creature of myth and song, its coat glistening like moonlight on snow. A unicorn.
For a moment, Steffi did not believe her eyes. Her heart pounded in her chest like a drum, echoing through the silent woods. The beast did not see her, its head was bent low, drinking from a stream that bubbled with life. She held her breath, afraid even to blink, lest the vision dissolve into mist.
And then, a snap of a twig underfoot. The unicorn’s head lifted, its ears pricked forward. Those eyes, not black like horse or hound, but white as the first snow of winter, fixed upon her. It turned fully to face her, and Steffi saw the hint of magic shimmering in the air.
The horn was there, a spiral of purest alabaster, glowing softly in the sunlight, and then, with a flash like lightning, it was gone. The unicorn’s form shifted subtly, becoming more real than real, its mane now fire and ice intertwined.
Steffi found her voice, though it trembled at the edges. "I saw you," she whispered. "The horn, it was there."
A soft laugh echoed in her mind, a sound like wind through leaves, water over stone. "You saw me, child of earth." The unicorn’s words were not spoken but known, as if they had always been inside her.
"And for seeing me as I am," it continued, "you shall have a wish and a ride through the heart of this forest on my back."
Steffi’s breath caught. A ride? Her? She who had never known anything more magical than a sunrise over the millpond?
The unicorn seemed to smile, its mouth did not move, but its eyes danced with mirth. "But there is one condition," it said.
Steffi’s heart sank. "What?"
"You must ride me as you were born, as nature intended."
At first, she thought the creature jested. Then she understood: this was no ordinary horse. This was a creature of truth, and truth demanded honesty. She had come to the forest in search of something real, and here it was.
With fingers that trembled only slightly, Steffi reached for the hem of her long white dress, a gift from her mother, soft as morning dew. She pulled it over her head, letting it fall to the ground like a shed skin.
The forest air was cool against her bare flesh, not cold, but alive with sensation. Her feet sank into the earth, roots and vines reaching out to greet her. A wind picked up, rustling the leaves above, as if the very trees approved.
Steffi took a deep breath and stepped toward the unicorn. Its coat was warmer than she expected, its mane like silk under her fingers. She swung one leg over its back, no saddle, no bridle, only the raw power of muscle beneath her. The unicorn’s hide shivered slightly at her touch.
"Hold on tight," it said, or rather, thought.
And then, they moved.
The forest blurred into a green and gold whirlwind, branches reaching out like welcoming arms. Steffi felt the wind in her hair, the sun on her skin, the earth beneath them, all at once. It was more than speed; it was freedom itself.
She laughed, a sound that echoed through the trees, pure and wild. The unicorn galloped faster, its hooves striking the ground like thunder. Faster still, until the world shifted. The air changed, thicker, brighter, and suddenly, they were in a place where the sun itself was different.
The scenery was unearthly: trees of crystal and gold, rivers that flowed with liquid light, flowers that bloomed into stars at midnight. A realm beyond dreams, a world forgotten by man long ago.
Steffi stared in awe. "Is this... magic?" she whispered.
"It is the Heart of the Forest," the unicorn replied. "A place where only those pure of heart, and free of artifice, may tread."
The unicorn turned its head slightly, and Steffi saw regret in its eyes, or was it sadness? "I am sorry," it said. "You were not meant to see this, to know this place."
Before she could ask why, they were moving again, a flash of light, a rush of wind, and suddenly, the clearing. The same old oak, the same bubbling stream.
Steffi slid off its back, her heart still racing. She felt different, alive in a way she had never been before. The unicorn bowed its head slightly, as if in farewell.
"You are free now," it said. "More than most ever will be."
With that, the horn returned, a blade of light cutting through the air, and then, with another flash, the unicorn was gone. Steffi stood there for a moment, her dress forgotten on the forest floor.
As she walked back toward Millworth, she felt a strange sensation. The air was cool, but not unkind, the sun warm on her skin, as if nature itself approved. She realized with a start that she had left her dress behind, but did it matter? For one brief moment in time, she had been free, truly free.
As she emerged from the forest, she heard laughter, two old men by the stream, their faces weathered like the trees themselves. They looked up as she passed, and one of them winked.
Hehe, another one," he said to his companion, who chuckled in reply.
Steffi walked on, her head held high. She had ridden a unicorn, seen magic itself, and for just a moment, she had been more than human. What could be more extraordinary?
And so, the years passed. Steffi married, had children of her own, children who listened to stories of forests and unicorns with wide eyes. And though she never spoke of that day in the woods, not even when those old men were long gone, they knew. They knew because they saw it in her eyes: a fire still burning, wilder than any blaze.
For Steffi had been touched by magic, and magic does not forget.
Steffi doesn't have a "models page", but she does have a members only gallery that you can view HERE
Just to be abundantly clear....none of these "women" exist in real life. They are 100% computer generated by Ai. All the Ai "models" are generated to represent "women" who are over 18 years of age.
The new computer is running and have been setting up for several days. The linux system is quite alien to me, even though I chose the "mint" version, which is supposed to be a sclose to windows as any of the others. It look a lot like windows, but it is not. Somethign are very easy to use and works so smooth and fast. BUT when setting up a local Ai and few other non standard things, it got a bit complicated. Reminds me of the old DOS days, which I hated. But got through several huge hurdles and almost got the Ai running on the new computer. I also discovered that my old gtaphics card can be modified to go from 11GB Vram up to 22GB, and some have even done 44GB. It does make it faster, but it does allow the use of very very large Ai models. Something I might try at a later date. For now,its nearly completed and I must say I will stick withj Linux from now on. It just works so nice and fast. The two images below are from a newer Ai, but still not the brand new ones that the new computer shoul dbe able to handle...oh and video...
