The Gift [Ch.2]

The voice asked Whitey to concrete on what gift she would like. Whitey thought carefully of what kind of gift but did not know how to express it so she closed her eyes. Memories of her life in the village flashed before her. She recalled a distant meomery of when she was a kitten. The first time she licked an injured chipmunk after it fell from a tree. She felt happiness and purpose when she helped others.

The voice clarifies “ I understand, how very noble”, and asks another question. “Why do you want to help others when you were mistreated?” asking curiously.

Whitey with earnest heart replied back

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be a bully. That’s goes against my nature. I do not want to be superior to anyone or anything. If possible I should like to help everyone. I had happiness when I helped others and purpose, even if it was short lived. I do not want to hold resentment towards the children despite the horrible acts done to me. This is a beautiful world, I only want to make it better. I am grateful to be alive.”

“Understood”, the voice from the spring boomed.

Whitey felt a strange sensation in her forehead. She looked into the spring to look into her reflection then reached up to touch something hard and pointed. To her amazement, a shimmering unicorn horn had appeared on her forehead. She had never seen anything like this before, and she didn’t know what it meant.

“This horn will give you the ability to heal injured animals and help them in times of need. Now go Caticorn”, The voice fading away in her mind.

With her newfound power she was determined to make a difference now more then ever.

“Thank you”, she said in her mind to the voice. Not quite sure if it was received or or not.

Whitey met plenty of injured animals as she journeyed from forest to forest. With her new horn and ability to heal she eased others pain. Tales of Whitey ability spread and animals from all over the realm came to seeking help from the caticorn.

Whitey was happy to oblige and had made a difference to the animals of the forest. She possessed a rare gift and wanted to do nothing more then to serve others.
