I'd like to adopt!
Username: Alckatraz
Name: Alasdair
Gender: Male
Prompt:
The majestic leopard lambie shaked his head with disappointment. His eyes betrayed that deep down in his soul a storm of emotions was bothering his usual calm. He was powerful and he could have had anything his heart would have desired. But, out of all those things, he particularly wanted the one he couldn't have.
"Lately, I dreamt about the same thing, over and over again. There's something mysterious, yet addictive and magnetic. It's everywhere and it shines brighter than any jewel. That's how the real beauty looks like." He sighed. He was just talking nonsense again. Did he really know how it truly looked like?
"And what's this thing... after all?" It was a dangerous questions. As if you pinched him invisibly, Alasdair flinched, then turned quickly before freezing in a pose that made him look twice as big. "How? You don't know?"
"I'm afraid I really don't, Your Majesty. Otherwise, maybe I could have helped you find it."
"Look, I'll tell you then. They call it 《snow》and I had never seen or touched it until now. It's the irony of the destiny for a snow leopard to keep dreaming about snow, don't you think?"
He looked way calmer now, exactly like the infinite waters of the ocean.
"But that's not why I called you here. I needed an experienced mage to lift this spell and free me from these dreams. I've been cursed."
"How exactly, sire?"
"A fortune teller told me once when I was just a cub, that the day I'll firstly meet the snow, will be my last one. So, my mom asked a witch to cast a spell on my eyes so I can't see the snow. She thought that even if I found it by mistake I couldn't face any dramatic consequences because I would be unaware. But I started dreaming about it. One day after another. And this thought is overtaking my mind. I'd give anything just to see it once, please"
"Are you disposed to risk everything you have, even your life, for a dream you had?"
The leopard smiled "Exactly. Call my crazy if you want, but please make my wish come true."
"It's actually easier than you think"
"How so?"
"You told me you can't see the snow, right?"
"Yes"
"But you also told me that you can see it in your dreams. To reach it, means that it's gonna be your last day."
"That's correct."
"Well, the problem is pretty simple. Your dreams are the solution to your problem. So you can see the snow and keep yourself alive in the same time."
"Can I?"
"You can, but it also means that you'll be stuck in a never ending dream... with the snow, of course. Will you be willing to call the realm of the illusions your new home?"
Without blinking, the snow leopard lambie nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely."
