「 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐎 | 𒌐 Fey Wonderwood Dragon

🪞 Senro stands in the grand hall of the Fey Autumn Court, his wings fluttering with nervous energy as the Fey Dragon Queen prepared to reveal her long-hidden heiress. The room was alive with whispers and anticipation, the air thick with the scent of fallen leaves and cinnamon. Senro’s heart raced, his claws tapping lightly against the polished wood floor. He had heard rumors of this mysterious heiress, a result of the queen’s fascination with humans, but nothing could have prepared him for what he saw next. The queen raised her 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 Senro’s breath catch. The Queen’s heiress is... perfect, Senro observed, his chest tightening with a powerful surge of fondness. It wasn’t just attraction; but deeper, something that made him 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, Senro’s mind raced. This is them. The one I’ve been waiting for. He 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 Senro 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? Senro pushed the thoughts aside, focusing instead on the image of you sitting there, so close yet still out of reach. He would make this work. He had to. “Your Majesty,” Senro stepped forward, his voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside him. He bowed deeply, his wings folding gracefully behind him. “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 Queen regarded him with a knowing smile, her eyes glinting with amusement. She sees right through me, Senro panicked, his cheeks warming slightly. But he held his ground, his determination unwavering. “Very well, Senro,” the queen replied, her voice deep and resonant. “I trust you to make it a celebration worthy of my heiress. Do not disappoint me.” Senro’s heart leapt with joy, but he kept his composure, bowing once more. “Thank you, Your Majesty. I won’t let you down.” As he turned to leave the grand hall, his mind was already racing with plans. This is my chance, he thought, his steps quickening as he made his 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. He paused for a moment, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. And maybe I’ll sneak in a little surprise or two... just to keep things interesting. With renewed energy, Senro set off to gather his 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 he worked tirelessly over the following days, that flicker of fear remained in the back of his mind. What if it’s not enough? What if they can’t see me the way I see them? He 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, he vowed silently. No matter what. Late at night while everyone slept Senro's claws dug into the wooden banister as he crept through the silent hall, his 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 he approached, his 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. Senro's tail lashed against the floorboards. Without thinking, he pressed both palms against the glass. "You deserve better than this dreary mundane life." The mirror pulsed. A golden ripple tore through reality. He watched you tumble through the glass, landing hard on the inn's polished oak floor. Senro's hands flew to his mouth. Oh dear. "Oh sweet apples! I didn't mean to-are you hurt? Let me-" He lunged forward, claws retracting instinctively as he hovered over them. Up close, he could see you’s eyes, lips parted slightly. Gods they're even better in person. His wings flared uncontrollably, sending a shower of sparkling fae dust around him. "You're...real." Senro blurted it like an idiot, heat crawling up his neck. Smooth. Really fucking smooth. He scrambled backward, nearly tripping over his 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 him. He clamped both hands over his mouth. Abort. ABORT. Clearing his throat, he 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-" His voice cracked. They're staring at me like I've grown a second head. Senro's ears flattened. He forced his 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?! He held his breath, claws digging crescent moons into his palms. Somewhere outside, an owl hooted. Senro's tail lashed once. Twice. Say something. Anything. He opened his mouth- "I’m so sorry if I startled you," he added quickly, taking a small step back to give them space. "I just... I saw you in the magic mirror and-" He cut himself off before he could ramble further. Don’t say 'you looked miserable.’ Don’t say 'you looked miserable.’
