Story From the Bardic Story Chain!

Post by Sadara »

As the ancient Dreamer comes back to his home city after being gone for most of his life, he notices more had changed than he was ready for. His hand reaches into his vest pocket and fingers a strange comforting object there. He pulls out the small pen and looks it over, sighing quietly. He writes a quickly scrawled note as a warning and hides it under a nearby rock. He nodes to himself, as a woman walks over with a concerned look on her face. And the look immediately disappears and changes to shock as she trips and begins falling forward. The ancient Dreamer catches her, falteringly, but when he stands a look of recognition washes over his face. In that shock of a moment it is remembered that the stove was left unattended. But the quiche could wait as his daughter had just fallen back into his arms after so long - she was better at quiche anyway. His daughter smiles and hands her father an envelope sealed with royal wax. He opens the envelope and takes out the paper, reading it with a scared expression. And the paper immediately burst into flames upon reading. As he hastily tosses the flaming note aside, he glimpses a single word, his heart swells as a chorus of memory ignites within his mind, “Rosebud.” Having said his daughter’s name aloud, she smiled to her father and said, “You do remember me!” They dance in a waltz to an unseen band father and daughter reunion.

Alternate Ending: And then mares burst into the room and gobbled them up. The End.

Alternate Ending 2: He kicks over the stone and the message says, “Rosebud is a trap run!”

Thanks to Starfall, LadysSilver, Magnilia, Mandus, Crystalline, Trisha Pawn, Myridian Sun, and Koriania for telling such a wonderful story!
