The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle: A unicorn overhears some hunters saying that all the unicorns in the world are gone. Unicorns are immortal and can only be hurt or killed if they leave their forests—but the unicorn is desperate to know if she is the last, so she sets out on a journey to find out.
(first paragraph)
The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea.
