Humpty Dumpty had been at the vet because Bingo, old and faithful, was on his deathbed.

Many in the kingdom, including the King, and especially his subjects, had no idea he had a pet dog.

It was Bingo… who kept him together after the Great Fall.

Yes, his shell had been broken… shattered even, and in need of mending.

But while he waited for the golden armor, it was his pet dog Bingo who stayed by his side, offering warmth, comfort, and quiet courage.

Without Bingo, perhaps he would have stayed broken forever—lost to the wall, the Great Fall, and the world beyond.

Humpty Dumpty would have been long forgotten long time ago.

But today, there would be no prizes for anyone across the land, because Bingo had passed away.

The King and his men… …could do nothing to bring him back.

Unlike Bingo, Humpty Dumpty was an egg. 🥚

But a broken heart he did have.

You don’t know what it’s like to love somebody. 💔

Alas, it was the fairy of dreams and fantasy, quietly picking forget-me-nots for Humpty Dumpty. 🧚‍♀️

She appeared beside him as he sobbed and cried outside, mourning the loss of Bingo.

Humpty had seen his beloved dog put up a good fight, loyal and brave to the very end.

Bingo had been the best dog that Humpty Dumpty could ever ask for, and now the emptiness pressed against him like the weight of the meadow itself.

The fairy knelt gently, offering the tiny, pale-blue flowers.

“For you,” she said softly,

“so you will remember him, and so your heart may find a spark of joy again.”

Humpty Dumpty took the forget-me-nots in trembling hands, sniffing their sweet, delicate scent.

For a moment, he felt a small, quiet comfort, like the first warm rays of sun after a long, cold night.

Suddenly, the clouds opened up again, as the rain had turned into mist.

Then there were rainbows—stretching to the north, south, west, and east, painting the sky with every hue of wonder.

From the grandest arc, the fairy summoned a unicorn. In that moment, God’s power and beauty were unmistakable, breathed into the most radiant creature Humpty Dumpty had ever beheld.

The unicorn emerged through the veil of colors, a vision of purest white—born of winter’s breath itself, carrying the quiet righteousness of heaven in its mane.

The air was still and crisp; Humpty Dumpty could see his own breath rising, yet no cold touched him. There was only a sense of lightness, as if the small weights of the world—the sorrow, the heaviness he had carried since losing Bingo—had lifted, passing away like morning mist.

It felt like standing inside grace itself—present, unafraid, unburdened.

Droplets of mist sparkled along the unicorn’s shimmering mane as it stepped with serene, effortless majesty from the rainbow’s arc, as if heaven itself had come into view.

It was the unicorn that mended Humpty’s heart. 💖

Humpty took a careful step, then another.

Each movement felt lighter, freer, as if the shell that once defined him was no longer a cage, but a part of who he was—broken yet whole, fragile yet enduring.

And just beyond the meadow, where the Fantasy Wasteland began, the unicorn waited patiently, a solid companion ready to guide him toward new adventures, stories, and dreams yet to be told.

Humpty decided to name his unicorn Hot Stepper. Hope Provider. Humpty Dumpty’s Unicorn.

Together, they stepped into the misty meadow, where every raindrop shimmered like a secret, every rainbow whispered a promise, and the world itself seemed to lean in, eager to hear the tales yet to unfold.
