35 years ago.
It was a cold autumn night, but the house belonging to Wolf and his family was warm. Rose carried 4 glasses of tea to the living room. She greeted the 3 other dragons, a Skywing doctor named Garnet, a hybrid known as ‘The Smiler’ and Rose’s partner, a hybrid named Wolf. As she handed a glass to each of them, each graciously accepted. She sat down in between Smiles and Wolf.
“Splendid as always Rose, your leafspeak is exemplary” Smiles said kindly
“I’m flattered, thanks” Rose replied
“Heh how can I compete with such a wordsmith? The tea’s lovely, dear.” Wolf said, giving Rose a romantic nuzzle. Rose grinned at the gesture.
“Aw you’re too kind Wolf.”
“We get it, you two are adorable.” Garnet said half-jokingly. “Thanks for the tea, Rose.”
The couple let go of each other, still smiling at each other.
“Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we can get to more important matters.” Smiles said calmly with his trademark smile. “As you surely know, The Sanctuary is to be opened tomorrow! And I have invited the Skywing media as well as the Skywing queen! Isn’t that magnificent?”
“Thank Garnet for that.” Rose beams
“Aaaand I am happy to announce that we already have a patient in waiting for when it opens. A Leafwing named Cedars. Rose, are you acquainted with him?” Smiles questioned
Rose’s eyes shot up. “Why yes, I know Cedars. He’s a magnificent author. An excellent wordsmith, I’d say he’s as skilled as you” she said, motioning to the Smiler
“Yes, but like all the great authors, Cedars suffers from a depressing sadness-filled life.” Smiles said solemnly. But his tone switched back to his regular, joyous one. “But now that we have perfected the correctional process and are ready to open, Cedars has a chance to be free from his sorrows. It’s the chance of a lifetime, don’t you think?”
“I’m just glad you guys finally perfected the process.” Rose spoke up,
“Well as with all medical procedures, it takes a few tries to get it right.” Garnet responds “luckily the correctional process doesn’t seem to have had many... failures, as far as I’ve seen. Aside from Frank.”
“Well there was one, but that was when the process was new, even Smiles didn’t really know what he was doing.” Rose says looking at Smiles, hoping she didn’t offend him.
“Well Garnet is very much correct. Rest assured, none of the volunteers were that damaged by their respective corrections, they’re all perfectly fine by now.” The Smiler said gently, looking at Rose. This reply wasn’t exactly reassuring to her.
Her emotions towards Smiles were strange. She thought she could trust him, but everyday she stayed, the Smiler became... less sane, more extreme, and more volatile. But how dangerous could a dragon who just wanted to spread joy, really be?
“After all, it was your leafspeak that helped grow the plants necessary for the perfection of the process.” Smiles said warmly to her.
She smiled back at him. Maybe he wasn’t that scary.
She shrugged off her nervousness. “Well, we’re all happy for you Smiles”
“Well it wasnt all me, you all and the rest of the Ministry helped a great deal. And I thank you all. But I believe I must be going, I have to discuss some things with Frankincense, for the grand opening. Garnet, come with me.” He said before standing up. “And remember, Smile! Always.” He said staring back, with a piercing stare. As the two left the house, the room became silent, save for the sound of the autumn wind, as leaves fell outside the window.
