Kremy hoarding Unicorns
There was a secret a deep dark secret that Kremy hid from everyone. Kremy was sure he had even done extremely well hiding it from his own patron even. He was worried about his image, he was after all a fine Alligator folk and business man. His reputation would take a hit once they found out but he knew that little bag of holding that looked like nothing more than a small dice bag held all his secrets. That is until they came upon the Witchlight carnival and he made the deal. That cursed fae magick had found his darkest secret and exposed it to the world. He loved unicorns, he hoarded them like a dragon hoards gold. Each precious to him and each and every one a special token of hard work and a hidden past. As he traveled through the carnival he acquired many to add to his mighty hoard.
Kremy smiled thinking back on his youth when first fell into love with the amazing creatures well before he became corrupted, as they say. He had been walking through the swamps back home heading to his favorite fishing hole. He enjoyed hunting the best crawfish and catfish anyone had ever heard of. He was headed to the secret spot then he saw it... the most beautiful creature, pure white, pearlescent horn shining in so many colors. He stood frozen and watching this magnificent creature he had only seen in books and heard tales of. A unicorn a beautiful, magnificent creature. Kremy attempted to walk forward before the unicorn walked away, pawing the ground bowing. Kremy watched it go out of sight and then once he felt he could move again he ran to where he saw the creature.
The ground was shimmering with magick and saw the most unbelievable thing in his life. A bag was in the grass below where the creature had been and he chuckled to himself and picked up the small sack. When he opened it he saw gold, silver, even some elecrim pieces then he saw it deeper in the bag, a small wood carved unicorn. He marveled at it before tucking into the bag and putting the bag on his belt. He then walked down to his favorite fishing hole and made a killing pulling in an amazing haul for supper. He wondered at his luck the whole way home and enjoyed a smile every time he touched the bag at his waist.
Kremy's mind then wondered to each and every one of his hoard and all the places all over Avantris where he had taken his carnival and enjoyed finding more and more of these of amazing creatures. Then guys night, the best, most ironic night of Kremy's life. Yes, he might be engaged to pixie but he'd figure that out later. Because right now there was the most magnificent creature in front of him. A beautiful amazing creature a pugacorn, if only Gricko would shush he it would be amazing. That's when he got his wish, he was riding this amazing beast just like he had desired to do so many years ago. He felt delight and peace and a joy unlike anything he had experienced in the years since he first saw the beautiful beast. He enjoyed it but all too soon it was over and he pat his bag ensuring his hoard was safe and he followed on with guys night all too soon.
