Journal #5: How to Hunt a Unicorn

So, you want to hunt a Unicorn? Well, there are a few things that one must consider before embarking on this magnificent journey.  One must make sure that they are well equipped.  As in any long journey, one must make sure to pack for the long haul.  I would estimate about five days' worth of supplies should be sufficient.  This would include: food, water, a makeshift shelter (e.g. tent), a lance (for the slaying of the beast), and all the wits one can muster.  One must realize that, even though a unicorn seems to be nothing more than a convoluted cross-breed between a narwhal and a horse, it is so much more.  Unicorns are actually very aggressive creatures, and one must hope that the Unicorn does not decide that their follower is a threat, or that follower (in this case, the avid unicorn hunter) will be in a very dire situation.  When hunting unicorns, one must keep in mind the fact that their name literally means "one horn", and that horn is nothing to trifle with, for I have seen that mythical creature take down men twice your size.  What's that, you don't mind? Well then, the last thing to keep in mind his how to actually hunt the unicorn.  One must be vewwy vewwy quiet, because a Unicorn proves much more troublesome than a wabbit.  One must always cover their tracks, so as to avoid the reversal and become hunted by their own prey.  And, lastly, in that final confrontation, one must never back down.  Even though Unicorns are made of magic and happiness, they can smell fear.  One must keep their wits about them and strike out with the lance only when it is advantageous to them.  If one should happen to succeed, then huzzah! Drink a cup of its blood and rejoice in their takedown, for they would be the first to successfully hunt a Unicorn.
