"'But if we do, there will never be another chance. All the unicorns of the world will remain his prisoners forever, except one, and she will die. She will grow old and die.'
'Everything dies,' she said, still to Prince Lír. 'It is good that everything dies. I want to die when you die.
Do not let him enchant me, do not let him make me immortal. I am no unicorn, no magical creature. I am human, and I love you.'"

"'Magician, she is mine!' He paused, and then went on in a gentler tone, close to pleading. 'She has twice raised me from death, and what will I be without her but dead for a third time?' He took Schmendrick by the wrists with a grip strong enough to powder bones, but the magician did not move. 'I am not King Haggard. I have no wish to capture her, but only to spend my life following after her.'"

"'A great wave took the castle,' said a second man-at-arms, 'exactly as the witch foretold. I saw it go spilling down the cliff as slowly as snow, and why we did not go with it, I cannot tell.'
'The wave parted to go around us,' another man said, 'as I never saw any wave do. It was strange water, like the ghost of a wave, boiling with a rainbow light, and for a moment it seemed to me--It was like a dream.'"

"He touched Molly as well, said something that was more of a whistle than a word, and the three of them floated up the air like milkweed plumes to the top of the cliff. Molly was not frightened. The magic lifted her as gently as though she were a note of music and it were singing her. She could feel that it was never very far from being wild and dangerous, but she was sorry when it set her down."

"But whether he reached some other shore, or whether the water drew even his great bulk down at last, none of them knew until long after; and he was never seen again in that kingdom.
'The Red Bull never fights,' Schmendrick said. 'He conquers, but never fights.'
He turned to Prince Lír and put a hand on his shoulder, 'Now you are the king,' he said."

"'If you had not tried to save the unicorn, she would have never have turned on the Red Bull and driven him into the sea. It was the Red Bull who made the overflow, and so set the other unicorns free, and it was they who destroyed the caste. Would you have it otherwise, knowing this?'
Prince Lír shook his head, but he said nothing. Molly asked, 'But why did to Bull run from her? Why didn't he stand and fight?'"

"The unicorn touched him a second time, over the heart, letting her horn rest there for a little space. They were both trembling. Prince Lír began, but she was away. She went lightly as the shadow a bird; and when she looked back, with one cloven foot poised, and the sunlight on her sides, with her head and neck absurdly fragile for the burden of the horn--"

"There was a weariness in the way she held herself, and a sadness in her beauty that Molly had never seen. It suddenly seemed to her that the unicorn's sorrow was not for Lír but for the lost girl who could not be brought back; for the Lady Amalthea, who might have lived happily ever after with the prince. The unicorn bowed her head, and her horn glanced across Lír's chin as clumsy as a first kiss."
