Ulaanbaatar’s Underground Unicorns: Mythical Beasts Spotted in Mongolian Tunnels!
What was once considered legend has now been confirmed – Ulaanbaatar’s underground caves, thought to be the ancient burial grounds for only the most fearsome of Mongol warriors, are now said to harbor mystical beings hitherto only heard about in folklore – Unicorns!
Saleh, a renowned local herdsman, was grazing his yaks as the sun set upon a normal, unassuming Mongolian day when he saw something that would turn his world, and ours, upside down. As he was leading his flock back to the homestead, he noticed an unusual glow emanating from one of the most dreaded caves in the Ulaanbaatar area. Being no ordinary shepherd, his natural curiosity took the best of him and he inched closer for a better look.
Lo and behold, it was a sight to behold! A regal beast, with a luminous horn, standing tall in shimmering magnificence, sparkling in the dim light. Our shepherd was no educated man, but he had heard tales of the unicorn; the sacred creature only seen by the most pious and truthful. Standing astounded and not quite believing his luck, he blinked and rubbed his eyes, only to find the vision still there, more astounding than before.
Saleh isn’t the only one who claims to have seen these wondrous creatures. There have been multiple reports of sightings in recent months and as news began to circulate, even the skeptics are compelled to question their incredulity. One report came from Tsogtsaikhan, Ulaanbaatar’s most reputed tunnel explorer. He swore that he had seen a herd of glittering creatures, grazing near ancient burial grounds deep inside the tunnels.
Rumors began to circulate that these unicorns are descendants of the royal steeds, gifted to Genghis Khan himself by an ancient sorceress. As the legend goes, when the great Khan fell, the sorceress enchanted his favorite horses, turning them into Unicorns, promising to guard the king’s tomb till eternity.
Soon enough, a few daring explorers set out, on what they called a “Unicorn Hunt”. Alas, attempts to photograph the creatures were met with disappointment, but a few brave souls returned with strange tales and artifacts of otherworldly origin.
Dr. Nikolaev, the premier mythical creature expert, currently residing in Ulaanbaatar, was brought down to authenticate the sightings. Analyzing samples that were said to be infused with unicorn magic, he marveled at the glittery dust that was unlike anything he had ever seen. Terrified at his own discovery, he said, “This should have been impossible. I have never seen or heard of anything like this. But here we are!”
However, not everyone is pleased with these reports. Environmentalists voiced their concerns over the safety of these creatures. The rush to see or capture these ethereal beasts may scare them, or worse, harm them, they warn. Yet those whispers haven’t stopped intrepid adventurers from around the globe flocking to Ulaanbaatar, hoping to catch a glimpse of these legendary creatures.
In this modern age where miracles seem to be an extinct phenomenon, the supposed sightings of these elusive unicorns have vigorously stirred the collective consciousness. Whether or not these creatures are real is yet to be proven beyond doubt, but it’s safe to say that Ulaanbaatar has been catapulted into the world’s eye, a welcome change from the usual humdrum.
But be warned! While this does make for an amazing tale, and perhaps even a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, remember the old Mongolian saying, “Miracles have their time, as a man has his hour.” So, if your heart is set on chasing this mythical dream, remember – unicorns, like all good things, don’t like to be rushed! And with that, your truly exciting, and a tad fantastical tale from the Secret Informer ends. But fear not, for the world is full of unexplored mysteries, waiting to be unraveled!
