Happy Times

“Well, I’m sorry I didn’t know I was an animus!..” Nighthunter said sarcastically. The local medic sighed as she went back to check on a dazed Moonlistener. 
“Not my fault, just take off the stupid enchantment.” The medic asked. Moonlistener was lying down on a cot, talking about how cute and beautiful Nighthunter was. “Whatever you did to that poor girl was strong, are you sure it was by accident?” the medic asked. Nighthunter didn’t feel like answering that question because it was a mix of both. He wanted Moonlistener to like him, but not this much. Something about it did seem pleasing to Nighthunter however.. The RainWing medic sighed. “I’ll keep her in here until YOU decide to undo things,” The medic said. “Now, out!”
Nighthunter walked out and flew back to his treehouse. His stomach began to drop when he realized he needed to explain why he was so late. 
“Hey mom, hey dad.” He said as he walked in. 
“Oh sweetie, where’ve you been?” His mother asked. 
“In the medical hut..” Nighthunter said. 
“Why?” Nighthunter heard his father say. 
Think fast..
“I enchant the both of you to ignore that I was missing and forget me saying this spell and conversation happened!..” Nighthunter whispered to himself. He looked up and saw his mother with blank eyes, before the colour came back. 
“I forgot to ask, how was your day?” Mother asked. 
“It was good..” Nighthunter said. This is amazing!.. he thought to himself. 
“Are you hungry or anything?” Mother asked. 
“No, not really..” Nighthunter said while his mind raced. I enchant both of these dragons to.. Obey my every command and listen to everything I have to say. He thought to himself. He saw his mother stiffen and smiled wickedly. This is going to be fun..
Nighthunter spent most of the night quietly toying with his parents. Laughing silently as they bumbled around mindlessly. “All right.. I enchant all of my previous enchantments on you to wear off and to never remember anything that happened in the last.. half an hour.” Nighthunter said. He then left his parents to chat as if nothing happened and went to bed. All night he thought of the possibilities he could do. He could enchant his teacher to give him good marks no matter what he did, he could enchant Moonlistener to fall in love with him even more, he could enchant everybody in the Rainforest Kingdom to worship him as a king. The last one was the most tempting. Maybe tomorrow.. Nighthunter said as he drifted off to sleep. 
Nighthunter woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and in the mood to overthrow a monarchy. He stretched his wings and said the spell. “I enchant all of Pyrrhia to view Nighthunter as the true king of the NightWings and RainWings. Glory will be seen as a commoner and nobody will have any memory of her being queen.” he said with a yawn and walked out. 
“Oh my moons! King Nightlistener, what are you doing in our treehouse?! W-we didn’t expect visitors—“ 
“Yeah, yeah, see ya.” Nightlistener flew out of the treehouse and to the “palace”. He walked in there and walked into the throne room where nobody sat. My throne..* he thought as he sat upon it. 
“King Nighthunter, there is still a problem with the NightWing girl at the medical hut.” A voice called from beside him. 
“Bring her to me.” He growled and the RainWing shrunk in fear. “Oh, don’t be afraid, be happy.” Nightlistener said. “I enchant you to always be happy and loyal to me. You will never feel anything else by joy forever.” Nightlistener said happily. The RainWing began to crack a smile and walked out, most likely to get Moonlistener. Nighthunter sat back in his throne and let out a long sigh before he heard the sounds of talons clacking on the wooden floor. 
“Here she is, my king.” the smiling RainWing said, gently leading Moonlistener towards Nighthunter.
“Say.. What’s your name?” Nighthunter asked.
“It’s.. It’s Jaguar..” The RainWing began.
“Mhh.. I don’t really like that name. You’ll now go by.. Poopy.” Nighthunter said. Poopy then bowed to Nighthunter and thanked him for his new name, then left the room.
“Ahem..” Nighthunter began and Moonlistener snapped back to reality. 
“Oh.. Wow!.. King Nighthunter.. You’re so cool and-” she began before Nighthunter cut her off.
“I get it, you feel blessed to be in my presence. That could get annoying fast.. I enchant you to have no memory of anything else that doesn’t involve you madly loving me. You will also not be able to think about anything else except for loving me.” he said, flexing his talons boredly. Moonlistener jerked and ran over to Nighthunter.
“You’re so cute, and pretty, and I love you so so so so much!” She cried out happily. Nighthunter smiled. Got her wrapped around my talons, perfect.. he thought to himself as he got up.
“This rainforest feeling isn’t quite like home to me.. I enchant the ceiling of this room to display the stars in a non-lethal way.” he said. The room’s ceiling began to fade and was replaced with glittery silver stars instead. 
“That’s nice, but not as nice as you!” Moonlistener called out. Nighthunter then looked around some more. The hammock throne really wasn’t his style.
“I enchant this hammock to become an intimidating, yet comfortable throne that whenever Nighthunter of the NightWings sits on it every dragon on Pyrrhia will obey their command.” Nighthunter said with an evil gleam in his eyes. 
A few months passed with nothing new happening. Nighthunter enchanted the RainWings to be more docile and stupid so that the somewhat less stupid NightWings would come on top. No matter what happened, Nighthunter was the most evil and intelligent dragon in the entire Rainforest Kingdom. One day, Poopy came with a scroll in his talons. 
“My lord, Queen Ruby is hosting a dinner party at her castle and has invited all other rulers, including you. The rulers wish to talk about trades and alliances, are you interested?” Poopy explained.
“Sounds fun. Maybe I get to play with the queens.” Nighthunter shrugged.
“Nice to hear that, my lord. The party will be.. Oh moons today just after sun time..” Poopy said, looking over the invitation.
“Wait, what?! It’s nearly the end of sun time, I can’t.. Why did this not come sooner?!” Nighthunter screamed.
“The dragons at the post office were slacking off, my lord. Punish them, not me!” Poopy pleaded, not even breaking his smile. 
“I’ll deal with them later.. Ughh I don’t have enough time! Time..” Nighthunter just got a weird idea. “I enchant all time to stop for five minutes and only Nighthunter can move around and interact with objects during this time.” he said.
Poopy suddenly stopped walking. The sounds of the wind rustling through the leaves came to a halt, quite like the sounds of busy chatter from outside the throne room. “Peace and quiet.. Now, to find something presentable..” he said. Nighthunter put on a small jade horn ring and a few golden rings. “Mhh.. They won’t like it.. I enchant this horn ring and golden rings to make the user look incredibly stunning.” he said. He grabbed a mirror and looked into it. Seeing his reflection he almost couldn’t look away. No, it’s just an enchantment.. he thought to himself. He turned around and a few moments later Poopy began to frantically talk again.
“My lord, I don’t know how you can- Oh my moons you look amazing!” he said. 
“Thanks, decided to pretty myself up.” Nighthunter said, but he wasn’t really that thankful. “Take the day off, Poopy.” he then said. Poopy bowed to him and flew off.  Nighthunter adjusted his rings before enchanting himself to appear at Ruby’s castle.
The throne room gleaned golden yellow colours and there upon her elegant throne sat Ruby.
“Hello, Ruby.” Nighthunter said, catching her off guard. 
“King Nighthunter! You came so early and wow.. You look fabulous.” Ruby said. Nighthunter was beginning to regret putting on the enchantment after being complimented by a dragon thirty years older than him.
“Thanks. Now where are the other queens?” Nighthunter asked. 
“Only Moohren has gotten here so far, hopefully the other queens are coming.” Ruby said. Nighthunter sighed and held up his talons.
“I enchant every queen of the tribes to appear in this room this instant and to ignore my enchantment on them.” He said duly. Suddenly, a bunch of other dragons popped into the throne room and bowed to Ruby as if nothing had happened. 
“So, shall we begin?” Asked the SandWing queen. Ruby nodded and led all dragons to a dining room. The dining room was lined with tapestries of historical events and the table itself was made from fine cedar wood. 
“Impressive…” admired the SeaWing queen as she sat down. All queens were looking at Nighthunter, who by now was REALLY starting to regret his enchantment. 
I enchant this horn ring and talon rings to go back to normal. Pleaded Nighthunter and the dragons went to normal.
“Alright my fellow queens, and kings,” Ruby started, looking at Nighthunter. “I expect once more we shall leave this palace as civil queens with fresh trade routes and peace deals. But for now let’s just talk.” Ruby then sat down and the queens began to chatter. Nighthunter was bored at the diner table, alone with nothing to do. Then, he had a terrible idea. 
“My fellow rulers.” He called out. All dragons around him stopped and stared at him. Nighthunter then cleared his throat, knowing that the next few sentences would change the world for good. “As of now we’re all divided as a continent. Queen against queen and tribe against tribe. I say we align the tribes together under one ruler, then no more fights and no more pointless wars!” Nighthunter said, expecting the queens to join along. Instead, one chuckle, then another, before Nighthunter knew it the room was full of laughter.
“You really think that would work?” Cackled Ruby. Nighthunter felt irritated and another idea crossed his mind. He stepped down, dug his claws into the floor and shouted.
“I enchant all dragons that hatch on Pyrrhia to obey my every command.” He cried. The whole room stopped and looked at him. 
“Are you— and animus?” Said the IceWing queen softly. 
“Yes, and none of you are no longer queens,” He waved his talons and the crowns upon the queens heads disappeared. “If you’re lucky, you’ll be servants for me, if not you’ll live as a commoner.” He continued. 
“What’s he talking about?” The SandWing queen questioned. 
“I’m talking about this. All dragons on Pyrrhia will stay loyal to me no matter what and obey my every command.” Nighthunter growled. All of the queen's eyes dimmed and a small smile creeped on Nighthunter’s face. “None of you will have any memory of anything. You will be practically mindless and will never be anything but happy and obedient to me.” he continued. He raised his talons in the air and all of the queens jolted up. 
“Now, how about we start to have some fun?”
A day later and Nighthunter set his plan into action. His plan was rather simple, nearly idiotically so. Have all dragons stay loyal and happy so no more wars happen. Easy plan. 
“Where will you put your palace, my lord?” A lifeless voice said. Nighthunter looked towards Ruby and sighed.
“I don’t know.. Got any ideas?” He knew it was pointless to ask an empty husk their thoughts, but he just wanted to hear somebody else talk.
“Perhaps here? It’s right in the middle of the map.” Ruby said, pointing to a valley of mountains just east of the Diamond Spray Delta and River. Nighthunter considered it before talking.
“No.. Too hilly.”
“What about your gift, my lord?” Nighthunter paused. 
“Right!... I’m so stupid.” Ruby shook her head aggressively yet robotically.
“You are not stupid, my lord. You are the brightest dragon to ever walk Pyrrhia.” She said with a large smile. Nighthunter grinned at the shell of a dragon and readied his teleportation spell. He took a deep breath and snapped his talons.
Both dragons instantly appeared on a mountain and Nighthunter was nearly swept away from the wind. 
“I believe it’s a bit windy.” Pointed out Ruby.
“You think?!” Ruby nodded back after Nighthunter asked the question. “I enchant for the wind to stop blowing for half an hour.” Grumbled Nighthunter as he tried to find his footing. The intense wind died down and both dragons stood upon the mountain in silence.
The view was beautiful, beyond anything Nighthunter had seen. The clouds seemed up a bit above him and the view of the Mud, Sky, and Sand Kingdom gave him chills. The sounds of wings flapping and an eagle calling out was enchanting. Nighthunter breathed in the fresh air before digging his talons into the dirt.
“I enchant the Claws of the Cloud Valley to shrink to be level with the rest of Pyrrhia.” Nighthunter yelled and the ground began to shake. Before Nighthunter knew it, the ground slipped out from below him and he was free falling in the air.
“Rather unpleasant, no?” Ruby said fully with her smile still on her face.
“Moons.. Just.. Pick me up and fly me down safely to the ground.” Groaned Nighthunter as the land was approaching him at faster paces. Ruby snatched Nighthunter up and flew him down to the ground and set him down.
“Okay, step one done,” Nighthunter said as he stretched his wings boredly. He reached his claws into the air and spoke. “I enchant from the ground, a city of pure iron to be built with a massive palace in the middle. The city will be big enough to house all dragons on Pyrrhia and more.” he said. The earth began to shake and chucks of earth began to rise under Nighthunter’s talons. 
“I suggest we take cover.” Ruby pointed out. Nighthunter rolled his eyes and enchanted a forcefield to spawn around him and Ruby. Shards of earth flew at the clearing in a minute or two, a massive silver city was built. Houses of iron gleamed in the sun and a massive castle towered over the entire city. 
“Amazing city, my lord.” Ruby said, clapping her talons robotically. Nighthunter sighed and walked into the city. The walk ways burned his talons in the sun, so he enchanted the pathways to be grass. He then walked into this castle and was amazed by it. Chandeliers with wax candles and gemstones decorated the ceiling of the castle and in the center of the throne room sat an obsidian black throne. 
“It’s perfect.” he said, placing himself upon it. Ruby bowed to him as soon as he did and Nighthunter decided to complete his plan. “I enchant all dragons of Pyrrhia to come to this city. They will have no memory of being out of the city or of who they were before coming here. They will only be happy and do whatever I say for the rest of their lives. They cannot think for themselves and will never care for any other dragon except for me.” he said as he grinned evilly. 
~One year later~
73845 wasn’t happy.
The Lord always wanted all dragons to feel happy, but she didn’t feel the same. Her family were all happy like how the Lord wanted to, but she wasn’t like that. She tried to have conversations with her folks, but they never talked to her. They never even spoke a single word to her once she learned how to speak.
“Mom? Why is it like this?” she asked. Her mother did not answer. She kept eating the disgusting grey slop that the rest of Ironfort ate. 73845 poked at the slop and walked away from the table. The iron house was blinding her at this point and she walked out of the house to explore for a bit.
