Description
How can I just let you walk away,Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you
Oooooh
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Now, take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you
Is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds
It's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me, now…
"Against All Odds" ~ as sung by Phil Collins
Never were there two more devoted unicorns than Amethyst and Darkheart. Darkheart was Amethyst's whole world. So, it was a devastating blow to her, and a terrible shock to the other unicorns, when he left her and never returned. Regardless of what happened, Amethyst waited every day for her beloved mate.
She waited, and she waited, but he did not come back.
Thus, Terence was born and raised without knowing who his father was. Amethyst never told him much; the truth was simply too painful, too much for her to bear, and she didn't want to saddle her young son with such a burden. Tragically, she and Darkheart would never cross paths again, for by the time Darkheart came to his senses and was about to take Amethyst as his mate once more, she had fallen at the hands of human hunters. Darkheart never had been fond of humans (he would kill one if he could get away with it), and losing his precious Amethyst due to their cruelty and greed only intensified his hatred for them even more.

Aww, poor Terence's mother. I love the fact that she's purple (my favorite color)
And you picked a great song to go with the pic and background story.
(sorry it took me so long to respond to this. I'm going through a very tough time right now and have only been on DA sporadically. I know you sent me a couple of other things, I'll get to them, I promise)

Poor Terence, too. Tristan (that's Terence's brother) did know Darkheart for a while, and he clearly remembers the day his father left them. It's left a scar on his life that never fully healed.

Oh no! How sad! Gee, I really need to finish my picture I'm making of the two.
I'm sure you know how it is. There's just not enough time.
Amethyst is very beautiful! I love her flowing mane. This will really help me when I get around to finishing the drawing of her and Darkheart.

unicorn-skydancer08 In reply to kokamo77 [2010-07-01 04:22:41 +0000 UTC]
Don't forget Darkheart has super-long mane, too. (Almost to his knees, if you're doing a full body shot.) He's also pure black, except his eyes are honey-gold, and his horn and hooves are solid iron. He's kind of like Black Beauty, but without the white star. Like Terence, he has a scraggly beard, which trails to his chest. And he's tall and quite powerful, too, with big, big muscles. Amethyst comes to just a little above his withers. Both unicorns have tails that brush the ground, and though you can't see them, Amethyst's hooves are supposed to be silver, like her horn.
I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Thanks, Di! In Terence's world, rainbow-colored unicorns are extremely rare.
Mostly they come in white, black, brown, gray, scarlet, gold, and bronze. There are some spotted unicorns (like pintos), but not too many. And there are only a handful of unicorns that come in purple and blue. There have been rumors of a green unicorn floating around, but no one knows for certain.
So, Amethyst stands out a bit.
