The Hunt of the Unicorn, Chapter 1
Dec. 25th, 2011 08:15 amThe Hunt of the Unicorn
Chapter 1: The Start of the Hunt
Chapter 2 | Chapter 3
Fandom: The Chronicles of Chrestomanci
Characters: Gabriel de Witt, Jed Farleigh, Elijah Pinhoe, Benjamin Allworthy, original characters
Rating: PG
Word count: 2100
Summary: One might think that anyone who knew two dozen death spells would be able to carry a fowling piece without worrying that he would take his own foot off—but that one wouldn't be Gabriel de Witt.
Seventy years before the events of The Pinhoe Egg, a group of wizards goes shooting on the grounds of Chrestomanci Castle, and there's things abroad in the woods.
Note: The title of this story, as well as the chapter titles, comes from a series of tapestries made in the Netherlands around 1500. I'll be including the relevant tapestry with each chapter, because.
Oh and also: what I know about game shooting I learned in a mad scramble to research this story. Please feel free to correct my ignorance.
Warning: Cruelty to animals. (You did see where I said that Jed Farleigh was in this one, right?)
