Do you imagine Sage in childhood? Must be the cutest
Sage doesn't remember much of his childhood, as his extended existence and access to knowledge overwhelms much of his wandering thoughts. But there are some nights when small glimpses return as dreams, where he sees a lovely maiden in white: his mother. Before her disappearance, he would spend hours listening to her stories, learning about the world he one day hoped to see for himself.
It would be many years before that dream was a reality, and though her face and finer features remain shrouded, the stories and her voice are buried deep within his heart.
how did that happen? me curious on how she became wife to peony😊
Peony: I'm unsure of how much my Bluecrown has told you, but in this world, there exist three types of fae: Avian, Optera, and Dragon. The Silver tree, which sits in the middle of the Fae Wilds, used to be a sacred place where the three races would join together in celebration. Its bountiful branches provided us shelter, food, and a near infinite source of magic: a gift from the elder Optera fae who first planted its seeds here.
But as it often is with gifts so freely given, there are those who seek to hoard its power away for themselves.
One day, during one of these gatherings, a dragon fae and those who were charmed by his tenacity, attempted to siphon its magic for themselves. Many innocents were harmed...And though their plan failed, the betrayal was enough to force the other fae to permanently cut ties with their Dragon fae brethren, banishing them to the molten side of the island. Walls were erected around the tree shortly after, and through the power of the virtue of justice, the dragon fae were stripped of their magic completely.
=
All this is to say that Dragon fae are not...treated kindly by the other races, particularly by my kind. Similar to how our Fount inherited the virtue of truth, I inherited the power of the virtue of joy, and was seen by my people as the granter of wishes. Back when I was young, I would travel the world, spreading happiness and love where I could...but never felt true "joy" myself.
Until I found my love. Though we'd been forbade from interacting with Dragon fae after their deception, I could feel the sadness...the despair that hung over their lands. I breached the barrier, disguised as one of their own, determined to spread as much joy as I could before I was found out.
Only to discover that there were others doing so in my stead. Least of which was my beautiful Holly Drake. She was the owner of a tavern at the Dragon's peak. Fae would come from miles around to be entertained by her stories, by her drinks, and her infectious laughter. I was drawn in...and I finally felt the joy that I'd been seeking all my life.
But my station, my Kind, would not have allowed us to be together--So I came to the only logical conclusion: to allow others to truly find happiness, they must discover it themselves.
So I left.
The world has changed in the time I've been away, but our love is still far from accepted. So until that day, I choose to live her with her. To live in joy and love-and may the rest of the world follow by example.

Recluse: Sage, in so much as I've seen, lives in a perpetually optimistic and light-hearted state...So the first time I saw him cry was...surprising. It was the time his first subjects found him. He had been out on one of his excursions in the swamp when he came rushing back into the cabin, his follower in hot pursuit. He didn't have time to explain, but I knew it had to be dealt with.
So I convinced him to trick her...To poison her with a concoction I had created myself that prevented others from finding this place. It went perfectly well and she was none the wiser...But Sage-He took the full brunt of the blame upon himself.
That was the day he opened up about his past to me. Who he was, why he'd fled, and the wave of shame and guilt that came with realizing that his people still needed him (or more so thought they did) and he'd abandoned them. I did my best to console him, but I was no better off, having done the same to my own people.
There would be more followers after that, to the point where he grew slowly numb to the routine. But I know the experience still weighs heavy on him.
I hope someday soon he's able to free himself from this guilt...I hope we both will.
