## Backstory

Vice was exploring looking for a place to meditate on their life and their achievements in their craft. When they stumbled upon a village in a meadow biome with the most beautiful flowers, he was amazed and found a spot to rest on the grass for a bit fully alert of his surroundings when a young villager girl held flowers in his face and said gift! To Vice and vice burst out laughing and said thank you while smiling at her but then her parents screamed at Rosethorn to come back inside and not to talk to freaks… Which ticked off Vice who thought how could this young girl be so kind to me when her parents don't feel the same… So he decided to take her away from her parents by taking her to a nearby dark oak forest to play hide and seek then go back to the village to start lighting fires and as a backup alibi make a lava pit nearby so it wouldn't seem like he himself lit the fires then he went back to the girl to go get her because she's been hiding for so long that the sun was starting to go down then vice brought the girl to show her what happened and tell her that a raid of pillagers came into town and started lighting fires and causing havoc and that he tried his best to save the village but all was lost when they started lighting fires and shooting their archers down from the churches… The girl was shocked. She was upset.. But she took comfort in vice telling her that he tried his best which is something she didn’t take lightly… So she asked Vice if she could come with him wherever he was going… This is where Vice started to laugh saying that of course she could come but she’d have to listen to whatever he told him… The girl didn’t take much notice of this but Rosethorn trusted Vice enough… So Vice took Rosethorn with him back to his lab and started getting ready for his next experiment... A chimera... A special kind... A chaotic pacifist... While Rosethorn was sleeping on his desk in his lab… Vice put Rosethorn’s arms around his neck and put her on his back then he carried her to the operating table to begin the next part of his plan….

As Vice started to strap Rosethorn in his operating table… Rosethorn started to wake up… Vice looked at her and said sleep now everything's alright Rose… Rosethorn immediately fell asleep… As Vice got his medical supplies out and started to work on the growth of her wings and antennas by 10 fold by adding some piglin's blood into the mix which rapidly started Rosethorn’s wings and antennas to metamorphosis in such a beautiful way that her wings felt too good to be true along with her antennas… Vice thought that this was his best experiment yet after what happened last time with the fake child and Echo… Vice immediately sprinted to his desk and begin to log his discovery and latest experiment and how flawless it had gone... And saying little details like the piglin's blood truly was marvelous and how he’s glad he wrote everything down and how he’s going to study it later as a backup if something goes awry with the piglins blood when she’s growing up because he took a risk in using piglin's blood to speed up the maturity in rosethorn.. Anyways onto Rosethorn going through metamorphosis… Vice put her in a padded room so she wouldn’t hurt herself when she woke up… Vice didn’t understand whether this was out of love or concern seeing as this was his masterpiece.. His piece de resistance.. His Mona Lisa… His creation he’d even be proud to call his daughter… But seeing as Vice never really understood emotions until now he treated it with caution… With fear… That he may grow to love her as a daughter… As the monster he’s created… He heads to his lab to go sleep on his paperwork seeing as he never cared too much about comfort.. It was always about the practicality of it all, seeing as he was determined this work was way more important than how he slept… Seeing as he never got a wink of sleep otherwise..

~7 hours later~

Rosethorn had woken up in the padded room and feels an extreme pain coming from what appears to be her spine? She looks around for a mirror and finds a window in which she looks in the reflection is and is terrified but mesmerized at the same time and calls out for Vice… Vice wakes up in a dreary mood and heads to the padded room to see what’s the matter with Rosethorn… He grabs his clipboard and heads there… Rosethorn asks him what happened… Vice tells her that she got attacked by some skeletons on the way back to the lab and that she would’ve died if he hadn’t infused the piglin's blood in her… Rosethorn then starts to cry tears of joy and sadness… Because she had felt a gratitude for what he’d done for her... But was also scared of what he’d done to her… She didn’t say a word about what she thought.. Vice asks her if she needs any pain killers because the process of the metamorphosis was a painful process for her..Rosethorn says yes but if Vice can get some natural medicine because of her being scared of medical medicine… Vice sighs and says fine I’ll get you some of that… I just need to make a quick trip to the nether and I won’t take long.. Rosethorn smiles and thanks Vice. Vice feels heart-warmed by all the gratitude he’d been receiving that he didn’t know how to process it so he just hugged Rosethorn in response to it to figure out what he’s feeling.. Rosethorn feels a bit of pain from the hug seeing as her spine is still sore from the metamorphosis… Vice notices this and apologizes to her bowing his head back and forth… Rosethorn accepts it with a nod….
