fable name: Risa
prompt:
"A basket full of fresh strawberries! Oh - is it too late to ask for a bit of cream, too?"

There are surely better, more noble things to wish for, but they all pass Risa by. Why should she care about that when what she was really wanting was a nice treat?

fable name: estelle
prompt:
to hold a flower in her lifetime.

to feel the silken whisper of petals against her skin, to breathe the sweet, lilting fragrance of a newly unfurled bloom, to taste their honeyed kiss against her lips just this once.

just once without decay withering those singing petals into an empty husk, without the taint of rot blighting their sweet scent, without her touch dissolving everything into fine ash. without her magic—a greedy, feral beast—draining every living thing of color, light and life.

just once, she longs to hold something whole and delicate and beautiful without feeling its lifeblood bleed through her fingers. just once.

just this once.

fable name: Orion
prompt:
I wish, I wish upon a star

A fiery blaze which tainted the sky, its burning glory illuminated in the darkness of the night. A falling star. The hand around mine tightened as the mountain breeze stirred up a flurry of leaves, I looked over, your eyes connecting with mine. Those eyes, brighter than any shooting star in the sky, “Orion you have to close your eyes and make a wish” he spoke, shimmering eyes like the night sky. You then closed them piously as if this starlit wish was a serious endeavor, I looked then with quiet compliance closed my eyes too. ‘I wish, I wish, I…’

‘Bing bong!’, the clock rang out within the dreary study. My eyelashes fluttered, still reminiscent of the dream. I wished…I couldn't remember what I wished for. I gave a sneer standing up until I stood before the velvet curtains of red, I gripped tightly as I watched the stars and moon outside. “Wishing is for children” I said into the empty room, “Only children wish, only children dream, only children hope for the impossible.” I turned my head, my eyes gazing at your portrait. Immortalized, a moment immortalized in a painting, a face untouched by time, untouched by life, untouched.

“Even now you haunt my dreams, a children's wish of grandeur and gold now achieved but you who wished it could only watch through a painting, a wish unreceived,” and I, a man who willingly painted your wish was left, left without his wish. Pitiful, yes, the grandest Duke was a pitiful man who would never receive his wish. I left the study to wander in the garden where you lay moonlit roses on your grave. I stood, the patter of rain falling in my ears, droplets dried down my chin and nose, perhaps it seemed as if I was crying but I truly had no more tears.

I stood like a bending oak tree battered by the wind. I looked up between the mist of rain to see a shooting star, its burning body flying through the sky, a wish, I closed my eyes, I wish, I wish, I… “Orion!”, a loud voice broke me out of my rever, a small hand clasping my face, that face I knew all too well. “I decided on my wish, have you decided on yours?” I looked starstruck, surely this was another dream but this hand, voice, presence, all of it felt so real. I blinked but they were still here, “So what did you wish for”, they grinned through open teeth. I smiled, replying with three short words, “It's a secret”. Even if this was not real, a merely another dream I would take it, hold it closely to my heart. My impossible wish, a wish for another chance.
