It was a winter afternoon. The trees were bare with no leaves. There was at least 4 to 5 inches of snow within the forest. Winter had come early that year, but of course, it was all the same. Key, who was in his Unicorn form, was standing near the gates, looking out beyond it into the Human world. He looked at the trees, watched as there were no animals anywhere. They were all in hibernation. As he looked up at one of the trees, he saw a key tied to a branch by a piece of rope. Then he looked at the gates where a lock was chained around it. He sighed, his breath being seen in front of him. It had been so long, so long since the humans had trapped all Mythical creatures. Locked them in a separate world, away from human eyes. It would not matter much to him, as all Mythical creatures here were unaware of humans, afraid of them and probably hostile because of being locked up like this.<br/><br/>He walked through the snow, his hoofprints could be seen in the snow as he walked. He had come to the gates everyday ever since he was born, always wondering what was beyond the gates. How did the humans live? Then again, the creatures of Lycore were already living just fine without humans. Well, most of them were, as it was all just a part of surviving. He walked around a bit more, looking at a sign that was about 5 to 7 feet away from the gates. It said, "Welcome to Lycore" with a bunch of snow on it. He used his tail to dust it away, then started to walk off again, wandering near the gates to see if there were actually any humans around. Though he highly doubted it. Who would come back after locking them up?
