>around her lays a wrecked carriage and a dead horse. Looks like a freak accident.
>quickly get to work. Preserve her the best i can and restore most of her wounds.
>she's even able to talk. We slowly get to know eachother. She tells me about how she was about to complete her knight training, but that her carriage feel from a cliff nearby and crushed her and her dreams.

>day three comes and she still hasn't woken up. start to worry, and i'm pretty sure i'll be expelled from her castle when Lich teacher finds out.
>day four. Her flesh starts taking over the horse skelleton. She didn't reject the transplant.
>by the fifth day she grew into it completely, most likely thanks to the horn's regenerative capabilites
>even has fur on her lower half thanks to the unicorn DNA
>Not only do i have a undead servant now, i have a steed.
>but the horn cracked and split in two because of all the unholy energy in her system
>make some goth clothes out of what i have left, and give her a cool eyepatch.
>Almost looks like a bicorn, if it wasn't for the undead complexion and the circular scar around her waist
>Zombie Bicorn is extatic, Can't wait to run around the castle and invites me to mount her.
>We have fun for a while. She even jokes about us becoming a death knight pair.
>The Teacher eventually catches us.
>She reprimands me for stealing her reagents, but is proud that i finally have an undead servant for myself.
>I tell her that i have more than a servant, i have a friend.
