The Endarkened seem to be fighting a war against the unicorns and their allies, in this story. (Curiously, the only thing that ever kills an Endarkened in one of these battles is the horn of a unicorn. These unicorns' horns are all much longer and pointier than the ones on the statues, and suitable for killing Endarkened with.)

Over the course of a few battles, the Endarkened take some captives, who are dragged back to the mountain and imprisoned there. The tallest and scariest Endarkened continues bossing everyone around, and then has an encounter with another Endarkened which causes her to become pregnant and eventually produce a teeny tiny stone baby. The baby has wings and a tail and (in a few seconds after he has grown into a tiny stone toddler) curly hair and short curved horns, much like the narrator of this story.
