She didn't seem like the sort of person who would sit and yell at something in a movie, but then again she didn't seem the sort who really enjoyed computers and video games either. Miyu knew better than to think she would lie about something, not matter how silly it might sound, so she found herself giggling softly at how proud the other girl sounded.<br/><br/>The movie was becoming more intense by the minute and when the princess completed the exchange with the gnome, it created a sense of accomplishment in the story that resonated strongly with it's audience too.<br/><br/>Laughing or crying, she was enjoying herself and the time they were spending together. Maybe someday.... she would have the courage to do what the princess had done, and would trade something valuable for the chance to have true and everlasting love. No... It was too much to hope for but at least, a girl could dream.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The princess walked to the edge of the swamp, where three of the demons were already waiting.  She had no weapons, but she had Noble Wrath, and that was just going to have to be enough.  "I am Princess Trianna," she explained to the demons with all the authority of a ruler.  "These lands are mine to command.  You will return the unicorn or these swamps will be destroyed, and you with them."<br/><br/>Chittering laughter came forth from the wretched things, and one of them launched itself at the princess, claws sparkling in the moonlight.  She winced, but the monster seemed to bounce off of a bright light mere inches from her.  The wooden ring sparkled as the runes glowed, and she stood resolute.<br/><br/>Another of the demons stepped forward, the oily designs twitching with each movement of the animation to continue the unearthly appearance.  "You wouldn't want him now anyway," it explained with a voice like flint carving along a rock.  "You only like pretty things, and see what we've done to him."<br/><br/>Chains clanked from within the swamp as the poor animal was brought out.  It was difficult to see the specifics, but his horn was missing, and mud and blood spattered his mane.  Trianna stared in shock, at first heartbroken, but the difficulties of her quest had taught her a lesson all its own.  "Do you think it is beautiful just because of its appearance, that you are monsters only on the outside?  I have seen the heart of this unicorn, and his true beauty is beyond your venomous touch!"<br/><br/>Her words brought a powerful sparkle to the unicorn's body, and light shone down upon him from above.  Within moments, he was fully cured, and his bright new horn gave off a powerful illumination that drove off the monsters.  The princess hopped upon the unicorn's back, and off they rode once more towards the castle.
