Unicorns


 * came out of the east
 * "never ask why"
 * "They can do anything... if you can convince them. They don't care why you want a thing done, but you have to show them how it will profit them."
 * sly
 * have violet eyes, whiskers, and violet spiral horns
 * voices do not have human expression
 * "don't take anything seriously, if you look at their history," says Patrick
 * can kill/stun hounds by touching them with their horns
 * flowers grow where they stand and animals come and follow them during the Unicorn Hunt
 * can revive themselves from death as happens after they are killed during the Unicorn Hunt
 * "cobwebby mane"
 * "warm and spicy smelling" -- "cinnamon-or-ginger"
 * speak human language in flute-like voices and their own language in a deeper, horn-like voice
 * "they looked serene, austere, unearthly, and more beautiful than anything [Laura] had ever seen"
 * "the almost malicious mirth and the inhuman laughter"
