El has come to the conclusion that unicorns must be deaf.
When she sets out with her lady as part of a procession to find a unicorn, the music, neighing, baying, singing, and talking of the group is all together thunderous. Everyone else seems to think it is expected. El thinks it is ridiculous.
Until they find a unicorn.
But that is when things take a turn that not even El could have anticipated.
A short story by K.M. Shea
