Episode Thirty: "Same Garden, Always Magic"
from The Unicorn Between Worlds - A Multiple Part Bedtime Adventure Podcast Hosted by Dion Anderson
The finale. Home. The garden, in full, beautiful, morning light. Everyone assembled one last time — or not the last time, never the last time, just this time. Ember toasting. Pip producing things. The pixies improving something. Thornwick arriving on his rock. Coral visible in her tree. Root warm under every foot. Nibbler on his wall — his wall, the right wall, the wall that is now the gate-wall too, the wall that is the most important wall in any garden in the world. Danica helps the unicorn foal through the gate on a short visit — Aura is tiny and luminous and immediately enamoured with the garden and with Danica specifically and with biscuits, which she tries for the first time and her coat goes full gold. Dion, watching, laughs the full chest-laugh. It fills the garden. Root pulses. The tūī sing. The moonflowers are closed but present, knowing they will open again. The episode ends with Dion writing a letter — narrated in his warm voice — to his daughters. About the adventure. About what they are. About the garden. About time. He signs it: *"Your Dad. Knight. Magician. Warden. Yours."
