WHAT IS THE
MAGICAL UNICORN SOCIETY?
The Magical Unicorn Society unites people across the globe who love unicorns. The job of the men and women of the Society is to document everything there is to know about these unique creatures and to protect them whenever they are in need. We track unicorns in their natural habitats, document our encounters with them, study their ways and record the stories that surround them. So if you do want to find out everything there is to know about unicorns, you’ve come to the right place. (OK – we know nearly everything. Mustn’t boast!)
The Society has branches all around the world, from Paris to Madrid, Hong Kong to Tokyo and New York to Buenos Aires. My local branch is in a snug little place called Silver Square, an old building nestled among the cosy Victorian terraces of South London. It is, for now, the headquarters of the whole organization. However, the headquarters have been in many different locations around the world during the Society’s long history.
Silver Square houses the Society’s great library, which contains all the knowledge handed down over the centuries by our intrepid and dedicated members. The earliest documents in the library date back to Ancient Egyptian times. The pharaohs of the day wanted to know more about the Desert Flame unicorns that they saw trekking across the Sahara. They sent warriors to capture the unicorns and tame them. But of course this was foolish: unicorns cannot be tamed. Luckily, the pharaohs also tasked their brightest scholars with understanding these mystical creatures from a distance. The papyrus scrolls on which they recorded their findings are stored safely in the library to this day.
Over the years, many different people have come into contact with unicorns. A fearless Viking queen known as Thora the Brave formed a special bond with a wounded Ice Wanderer which she came across in the snowy wastelands of the north. She lost three fingers to frostbite on that fateful trip, but nevertheless wrote down all she discovered about these solitary creatures. Then there was the young king, named Dagobert, who lived in medieval France, who once encountered a beautiful Woodland Flower travelling through his kingdom. Unfortunately for the arrogant and vain Dagobert, the encounter didn’t go quite as he’d hoped.
But it wasn’t until the 16th century, in Renaissance Italy, that the Magical Unicorn Society was officially formed by Luca di Bosco and Alessandra Massima. They devoted their lives to gathering unicorn lore, and together they wrote and illustrated the first encyclopedia dedicated entirely to unicorns.
So you see, we have had many illustrious and noble members in our ranks over the centuries, as well as countless brave and fearless explorers. Today’s members are dedicated to the same task as their predecessors. As a society, we’ve never been stronger, but we can always do more. That’s why we are telling our story now, in the hope that we may inspire a new generation of people to respect and protect unicorns for decades to come.
Let’s get lost in the land of unicorns …
