"...And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness"
“....”
MUSICAL INSPIRATION;;
Ólafur Arnalds

BEHIND THIS IMAGE;;
I made this as birthday present for one of my best friends; got the joy of printing it out tomorrow and seeing if it works when it's sooooooo dark! Arghh! Still I just hope and pray that it works! haha.... >_<

So the little lights in the background are other "lightbringer" unicorns coming out of the darkness and going to the same place as our "lightbringer" unicorns. Lightbringers live in complete darkness; they are virtually blind and the light at the end of their horns act as a beacon to guide them on their journeys far and wide. They have golden hooved and little beards that shimmer with light when their beacons are turned on. They all have little symbols that cover their faces in some way, shape or form and the "leader" of the group, has shimmering scars to the back of their bodies that help the followers to latch on to their guide. Though near blind, lightbringers can see shapes in the light that their horns cast, this is how they determine family members when they're on the move. Because of the blindness they rely a lot on their instincts that grow stronger and stronger as they grow older.

I have a particular lightbringer unicorn to introduce in due course, but the time will come for that, for now this is all I have...!
