"HERE I AM! This unicorn is going to end all of you bitches!"

Wow! Just wow! That shit is good! A few seconds in and I'm already hearing a unicorn's war cry. I look at my companions, they too are reacting weirdly. Guess we are all going to share the same hallucinations? This is amazing!

This would have been so damn popular back in the other world! Use this simple technique to trip balls with all your friends! Would have been an upgraded version of that Peace-Pipe thingy.

The more I wait the more this audio hallucination seems to be heading closer and closer. I wonder if our host is actually controlling that? Then again, the fact that it is a unicorn is probably something straight out of my memories.

Well at the same time this is obviously not real. I mean there is no way the one I know would be speaking in such a manner.

To be frank I am freaking loving it. You take a super-pure unicorn, then you give it a badass persona. Similar to all these movies where you have a super cute character that turns out to be some ultimate evil haha.

I wonder what it will look like? It is coming toward here fast. I'll know soon.

*CRASH! *

The doors to this room explode as a creature rushes in. This really says a lot about how big this place is since a horse can easily fit through the entrance.

"I will defeat you, evil bastard! Hand over my friend and the human! Otherwise, I swear I'll remove this head of yours from your body and spit on your corpse while …"

And it is still going strong with the insults.

So this new unicorn is nothing like the one I saw previously. The last one was pure white. This newcomer has black tattoo-like patterns all over its body. The horn is blood red too. That is not how a unicorn should look like I believe. I really prefer this look, however!

That is some damn edgy and epic motherfucking unicorn right there! I wonder if I can converse with it? This might be an illusion, but it looks like one that is Hella realistic.

[Hey there! You look amazing! What brings you here?]

I almost get the feeling it is blushing for some reason.

"I came for you! To bring you to safety!"

Oh? So this is the backstory we are going with. It is so random and far stretched that it kinda gives it away that this is an illusion. Then again it is easy to complain, but hard to actually create.

So…I guess I'll just roll with it! This seems fun! I give it the most radiant smile I can!

[I'm counting on you then!]

It comes nearby quickly, then it…. What the fuck?! It dragged me onto its back!? How?! This illusion is physical?!

I take what I said earlier back! This magic is the best thing in the world! And thus we depart galloping across the huge castle. The sound resonating across the entire place.

I hug it tightly to make sure not to fall. Damn this is epic! I might need to rethink my idea of what the ultimate cavalry looks like. Unicorns aren't that bad after all.

We keep going and going. Then we exit into the fog. For some reason, it seems to get pushed back whenever my mount comes near it.

The whole ride is comfortable and the surroundings clear thanks to this power. At some point, we start encountering skeletons, but they easily get trampled to dust!

Oh I get it, I'm probably still in that one castle room, aren't I? This is probably similar to an advanced VR. I'm seeing things and feeling things, but my real body is probably completely still. Might as well have fun while it lasts.

[Onward my life-long companion! We ride into battle! To infinity and beyond!]

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

I do enjoy the mad laughter too. It gives it personality. At some point, we stop. In front of us, is a purple opened portal. Wait, isn't that how we came in here?

I can somehow feel it pulsating with energy. I get the feeling this portal is definitely real. Wait…if the portal is real then ….that unicorn is real too?!

Then we totally just rode away in a reckless manner randomly. That…. I ….Well…. But what is up with this new look? Can unicorns change skin like we change clothes? Transformation magic? I guess I can always ask. It can talk after all.

[By the way, what's with the new look?]

"What new look?"

Wait …it doesn't know? I'm not sure how to really bring up the topic.

[I guess it doesn't matter. I like it. How did you find this place?]

"I opened a direct link coming here to come and save you guys!"

Wait now that the portal is opened we are totally saved, aren't we?! I go near the unicorn and hug it.

[Thank you for saving us! Thank you!]

"We need to leave quickly there is still that guy in there that …"

[The white-haired guy? He's a friend don't worry about him.]

"Wait….what?! How is this possible?! He is …."

My friend looks shocked and confused. Then mumbles after a while.

"This means I did something unnecessary. You didn't need my help."

[On the contrary! We were about to perish here because there is no food or water and we couldn't open the portal. Without you we would be doomed in a few days maximum!]

It lights up and becomes excited!

"You can count on me! I can open a portal whenever you need me to!"

[Nice!]

My companion shows an ashamed expression.

"Still I guess I made a fool out of myself busting in and out like that."

[Does it matter? I had a ton of fun! I mean we did break a door, but I don't think it's the end of the world either. He'll forgive us. How about we go back?]

*Nod*

I can't wait to announce the good news to all the mercenaries.

How should I go about it to make it impactful?

I could also troll them a bit haha.
