It's too bad that in most human to centaur transformation stories, the people who get new forms are shocked and / orrepulsed at their new appearance. It's a shame to waste such a great experience on those who refuse to see the wonderful power and grace of the centaur form. It's as though they feel that as their bodies are improved with the addition of an equine aspect, their minds are reduced to that of a dumb animal.

After foolishly trying to bring the unicorn down with traquilizer darts, they chase the unicorn. It stands before them, seeming to dare them to follow. They do and find an urn, with a strange message upon it in ancient Greek. The husband, drinks as the wife protests but, being a 1960's era 'good wife' drinks of the urn too, saying that when married she vowed to share her husband's fate. They lay down to rest, and when they awake, they are equal to that which they hunt. They are centaurs, powerful equine bodies and the wit and skill of their human minds. Now, at least physically equal to the unicorn.

The question is, who is the hunter now?
