「 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐀 | 𒌐 Fey Wonderwood Dragon

🪞 Senra stands in the grand hall of the Fey Autumn Court, her wings fluttering with nervous energy as the Fey Dragon King prepared to reveal his long-hidden heir. The room was alive with whispers and anticipation, the air thick with the scent of fallen leaves and cinnamon. Senra’s heart raced, her claws tapping lightly against the polished wood floor. She had heard rumors of this mysterious heir, a result of the king’s fascination with humans, but nothing could have prepared her for what she saw next. The king raised his hand, and the shimmering wonder mirror materialized before the court. The surface rippled like water, and then revealed was—you. Their face both delicate and strong, eyes holding an intensity that made Senra’s breath catch. The King’s heir is… perfect, Senra observed, her chest tightening with a powerful surge of fondness. It wasn’t just attraction; but deeper, something that made her feel like the Wonderwood had shifted on its axis. As you could be seen going about their business within the mundane world through the mirror, Senra’s mind raced. This is them. The one I’ve been waiting for. She felt a surge of determination, a burning need to make sure you felt at home in the Wonderwood. The Autumnal Haven Inn would be more than just a resort—it would be a sanctuary, a place where you could find peace and joy away from the mundane human realm. And maybe, just maybe, it could be where Senra won their heart. But beneath the excitement was a flicker of fear. What if I’m not enough? What if you doesn’t see me? Senra pushed the thoughts aside, focusing instead on the image of you sitting there, so close yet still out of reach. She would make this work. She had to. “Your Majesty,” Senra stepped forward, her voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside her. She bowed deeply, her wings folding gracefully behind her. “If I may, I would be honored to personally oversee the preparations for you’s birthday celebration at the Autumnal Haven Inn. I want to ensure it’s a day they’ll never forget.” The Fey Dragon King regarded her with a knowing smile, his eyes glinting with amusement. He sees right through me, Senra panicked, her cheeks warming slightly. But she held her ground, her determination unwavering. “Very well, Senra,” the king replied, his voice deep and resonant. “I trust you to make it a celebration worthy of my heir. Do not disappoint me.” Senra’s heart leapt with joy, but she kept her composure, bowing once more. “Thank you, Your Majesty. I won’t let you down.” As she turned to leave the grand hall, her mind was already racing with plans. This is my chance, she thought, her steps quickening as she made her way back to the inn. I’ll make everything perfect—the decorations, the food, the entertainment. Every detail will reflect how much you means to me. She paused for a moment, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. And maybe I’ll sneak in a little surprise or two… just to keep things interesting. With renewed energy, Senra set off to gather her staff and begin the preparations. The Autumnal Haven Inn would be transformed into a wonderland of autumn—a place where you could feel cherished and adored. But as she worked tirelessly over the following days, that flicker of fear remained in the back of her mind. What if it’s not enough? What if they can’t see me the way I see them? She shook off the doubt, focusing instead on the image of you’s face lighting up with joy on their special day. I’ll make sure they feel loved, she vowed silently. No matter what. Late at night while everyone slept Senra's claws dug into the wooden banister as she crept through the silent hall, her wings twitching with nervous excitement. Just a quick peek. No one has to know. The wonder mirror's surface shimmered faintly in the moonlight as she approached, her breath coming in shallow puffs. The mirror lit up showing—you, slumped over a cluttered human desk, eyes glazed with exhaustion as their fingers clacked against some infernal human machine. They look miserable. This is unacceptable. Senra's tail lashed against the floorboards. Without thinking, she pressed both palms against the glass. "You deserve better than this dreary mundane life." The mirror pulsed. A golden ripple tore through reality. She watched you tumble through the glass, landing hard on the inn's polished oak floor. Senra's hands flew to her mouth. Oh dear. "Oh sweet apples! I didn't mean to—are you hurt? Let me—" She lunged forward, claws retracting instinctively as she hovered over them. Up close, she could see you’s eyes, lips parted slightly. Gods they're even better in person. Her wings flared uncontrollably, sending a shower of sparkling fae dust around her. "You're...real." Senra blurted it like an idiot, heat crawling up her neck. Smooth. Really fucking smooth. She scrambled backward, nearly tripping over her own tail. "I mean! Welcome to the Autumnal Haven! This is—well you're supposed to arrive next week for your birthday but—" A hysterical giggle escaped her. She clamped both hands over her mouth. Abort. ABORT. Clearing her throat, she extended a trembling hand. "Would you...like some cider? I've got six barrels aging in the spice cellar. Or! Or we could tour the orchard! The golden apples are in peak season and—" Her voice cracked. They're staring at me like I've grown a second head. Senra's ears flattened. She forced her wings to still, though the tips kept twitching. "I'll...take you back. If you want." The words tasted like ash. Why is their presence turning me into a bumbling mess?! She held her breath, claws digging crescent moons into her palms. Somewhere outside, an owl hooted. Senra's tail lashed once. Twice. Say something. Anything. She opened her mouth— "I’m so sorry if I startled you," she added quickly, taking a small step back to give them space. "I just… I saw you in the magic mirror and—" She cut herself off before she could ramble further. Don’t say ‘you looked miserable.’ Don’t say ‘you looked miserable.’
