The Unicorn at the Heaven's Gate

Once upon a time, there was a Devil who ruled over the Hell with his fellow monstrous Demons. They were so powerful and invincible that even the angels feared them. So, they now aimed to conquer the Heaven. Their this desire was no secret to the Angels and they were very well aware that they stand nowhere to the destructive forces of Demons. However, it was then suggested to the Angels that they seek the help of the Emperor of Earth in the war since to reach the Heavens, the Demons had to pass through Earth.

The Emperor was rather overwhelmed to help the Angels and maintain the peace in Universe. He picked the bravest of the Generals from his army to lead the war. The chosen one was called Dark Knight for he was as dark as the night sky. He was tall enough to be not considered as human. He was strong like a bull and brave like a tiger. He was sharp as an eagle and cruel like a crocodile. His eyes screamed terror and his mighty sword got rusted due to blood stains. He was trained to kill, mercilessly. He had no emotions, nobody ever seen him smile or even cry when in pain. They say, he had a heart of rock.

The Dark Knight lived up to the expectations and successfully led the war. The Demons were not only stagnated but were bruised, brutally. Forget about Heaven, they could not even stand on the Earth and they ran away in all directions. There was peace all over and it was the time for celebration. God was so happy with Dark Knight’s feat that God invited him to heaven to be part of the celebration. There in Heaven, the Dark Knight was honored for his valor and bravery. For the first time ever, he was seemed smiling.

After he returned to Earth, he always felt that someone was following him all over. He knew in his whole life he has seen more enemies than the bright Sun. He stayed alert and one night when he pretended to be sleeping, he actually noticed that it was mysterious light that was after him. He wasn’t though scared but became more cautious about it and when one noon when he again pretended to be sleeping, the light came too close to him, he hurled his sword to it. Though he missed but he heard a loud cry and before the light could escape, Dark Knight threatened that this time he wouldn’t miss if it doesn’t tells its identity. The light immediately turned into a beautiful Angel which was actually its true identity. Dark Knight was mesmerized by the sight of Angel but still couldn’t understand the feeling going in him.

The Angel told him that she saw him in the celebrations in Heaven and was so impressed by his tale that she couldn’t stop herself being attracted towards him. The Dark Knight had never heard of such good things or had seemed such beauty. Since then, they met every day and had their romance going on. Might be that thing called LOVE was something new and confusing to Dark Knight but he loved being that way. Slowly and steadily, the Angel imbued all kind of emotions in him.

Everybody now noticed the sudden changes in Dark Knight, he now smiled and laughed, even sang often and cried when Angel didn’t turn up to see him. They were curious about it and the Dark Knight being innocent as a child from heart would narrate about their romance, something the Angel didn’t appreciate since it was forbidden for an angel to even talk to a human forget about love. So, the Angel warned Dark Knight to stop talking about her or else she would stop coming to him but the Dark Knight wouldn’t listen as he enjoyed boasting about the Angel with his friends. Moreover, Dark Knight started to pester her not to return to Heaven and stay with him forever which was actually something impossible.

Angel was just fed up with this guy and stopped coming down to him which broke Dark Knight from inside, he cried for her everyday but the Angel didn’t budge, she was damn stubborn. The depressed Dark Knight started to stay aloof thinking of the days with Angel and thinking of the way to win her back.

The Devil had actually kept an eye on Dark Knight ever since he was defeated by Dark Knight. He had now finally found the weakness in Dark Knight, the only obstacles between him and the Heaven. He thought for a way to get rid from his biggest enemy and then conquer his dream.

He went to the Dark Knight in the disguise of a Saint and asked him why he was so upset. The Dark Knight readily shared his story with the Saint and the Saint agreed to help him since he was touched by the Dark Knight’s story. He asked him why he didn’t hold her back when she used to come to him. The Dark Knight said that whenever he tried to insist her on staying back, she would get angry and fly away.

The Saint thought for a while and suggested Dark Knight to call her for one last and try to convince her, if even then she refuses then cut her wings so that she couldn’t fly back to heaven. The Dark Knight freaked out, he refused to do so since that will give her a lot of pain and even might take her life. The Saint now assured that he had few divine powers with him which would take all the pain from her. Unwillingly, the Dark Knight agreed to the Saint for his greediness to get his love back.

He went to the rocks where they usually met and called her name many times. The Angel appeared sighting that his voice may reach to God and also made up her mind that this was actually their last meet, seeing the craziness in him, she regretted falling for him.

As usual, the Dark Knight cried to her insisting her to stay back on Earth with but the Angel simply refused. Their disagreement soon rose to an argument and the Angel thought to return which only provoked the Dark knight, he took his sword and slashed it against the Angel’s wings. It tore apart the wings and she collapsed. She died craving in pain and the Dark Knight could do nothing about it. He searched for the Saint but he was gone, so was the Angel. The Dark Knight’s world just came to an end after the end of Angel. He ran to some forest and repenting on his sins.

Meanwhile, The Devil saw the golden opportunity under the circumstances to complete his dream. He prepared his demons and marched towards Heaven, tramping everything that came in their way. They seemed unstoppable as they crushed all the forces which dared to challenge them. Heaven was soon near and the only man who could stop them was not reachable.

God had to intervene.

God went to the Dark Knight and ordered him to join his army immediately and fight against the demons. The Dark Knight said that he already lost everything and had nothing to fight for. God then promised that he would make the Angel alive again if the Dark Knight agreed to fight. There was no way, he would say no but God had his own conditions. God cursed Dark Knight for being cruel and selfish, killing his love with his own hands that he would never ever get his love again. Though the Dark Knight broke her trust but the God feared that if not trust, the Dark knight could easily win her heart back. Moreover, the Angel deserved to be punished too for breaking the rules of Heaven and loving a human. In her new life, she was not given a heart so that she could not fall in love with anyone again. God also told Dark Knight about how he was crooked by the Devil and how he had destroyed his love on Devil’s insistence.

The Dark Knight romped to the war in full rage and this time he not only defeated the demons but also killed the Devil as a revenge of making him destroy his love on his own.

Peace was back again in the Universe and this time it was forever. It was time for celebration again. The Dark knight was honored again and this time God asked to make a wish to him. As expected he wished for the Angel’s love.

God smiled and said that he was cursed. Moreover God could not take his curse back but the Dark Knight still insisted. God thought on it and said that he didn’t want to lose such a brave warrior either. So, he transformed the Dark Knight into a beautiful Unicorn and ordered him to guard the doors of heaven till eternity. He was made into a Unicorn so that even the Angel sees him, she could not recognize him. The sword which depicted cruelty was transformed and thus came the famous horn of Unicorn which heels all the pain.
