Fire Glass and Unicorn tears

The light from the candle seemed to dance, throwing light across the wall.

“Father tell me a bedtime story.” Said Kyra, to her father, Henry

“Hmm let me tell you of how me and your mother met. When I met your mother Agatha, I was tracking down a unicorn for its tears when I saw your mother walking in the forest....” Said Henry.

“…You mean to say you saw a real unicorn!” Said Kyra.

“O yes, back then, they were real.” Said Henry.

“What happened next?” Replied Kyra with anticipation.

“Your mother saved my life. Wolves had got to the unicorn first, so was aggravated, and attacked me. My Agatha saved me by calming the unicorn down, using a spell. I owed her my life, but she did not want anything from me. From then on, we met secretly and soon fell in love and then I married her.
