Dark Grasp

This is a tale of the elf Jillian Issayë and how he came by his black unicorn.

Jillian Issayë is a cursed assassin with a habit of stirring up trouble wherever he goes, and sometimes, as if fate can’t leave him alone—trouble finds him. Leading an already unusual life where seemingly impossible things happen to him, it is not too much of a surprise when he finds himself face to face with a dark and twisted mythical creature.

He had always wanted to see a living unicorn, but would never have expected to run into a black specimen with a terrible hunger for flesh and blood. Any elf with a sane mind would run from such a thing, but Jillian has learned to embrace what life throws at him, and he cannot let such a gem of nightmares escape him.

After all… he needs a new horse, and this one seems perfect. How bad can it possibly be?
