These little ones are more somber than other hatchlings. Rather than spending their days playing, they follow their elders around, trying to emulate them. Their only game is quite the sight to behold, with older hatchlings dashing madly through the forest. They move with such speed that they would surely be injured, but their agility saves them. Silendarus unicorn hatchlings never engage humans in these games. Young unicorns are not particularly fond of their magi, though they will allow them to approach. It is important to establish a bond with silendarus unicorn hatchlings, lest they become too wild and never show themselves to humans.
In the very heart of the Silva forest, where the trees grow tightly together and the sun is hidden, silendarus unicorns can be found. They move gracefully through the trees, always keeping their distance. Should any human approach them abruptly, they will silently disappear. Silendarus unicorns are extremely wary of humans, and rarely leave the safety of the woods. They know a person's true intentions just by gazing at them, and flee at once should the person bear any ill will. Children are the most likely to see unicorns, and a few have even claimed to have ridden one. Should a child become lost in the woods, a unicorn will appear and guide them to safety. Villagers will leave their ailing sons and daughters at the edges of the forest, in hopes of a unicorn healing them. This practice is usually a success, much to the relief of many parents. It is the horn of a silendarus unicorn that holds their healing magic. These horns were once highly sought after by poachers, as when powdered they neutralize any poison or illness. It is for this reason that silendarus unicorns were almost driven to extinction. These companions hid themselves away from all, so well that even magi thought they were lost to the world. Should a unicorn ever lose its horn, its powers will be lost as well.
