Avicii's anti-pranking daughter
Avicii was buzzing with excitement. Despite having been a resident of a (mostly) harmonized Nature clan for several months now, the spirit of Shadow still shimmered, like one of those pinecones, within him. And it was thriving this week. So, what better way to celebrate the Trickmurk Circus than with a totally unexpected prank? (Well, he hoped it would be totally unexpected, anyway.) Now was his time to shine, as a silly Light dragon would say.
The Pearlcatcher lurked around his lairmates' rooms, deciding who would be the best to prank. He immediately declined Savanna- she would think his attempt to scare a mighty Ridgeback is riduculous. And his terribly posh daughter Airini would just look down at him like he was some sort of mongrel.
After an hour of scanning the clan for ideal victims, he landed on the perfect one- Tikal. She was not posh and snobby like some Light dragons;she was definitely the type of dragon that Avicii approved of. Fun, energetic, and bubbly, she would take his awesome prank well.
He had to suppress his suspicious grin until his own daughter came to ruin it all. Of course.
Why did she have to do that?!
"Airini, I only wanted-"
"I have no time for the Trickmurk Circus nonsense, father!" she exclaimed, swishing her tail.
"But you do know I'm your father, right?" he said.
"Yes. So?"
"Aye, Airini! It is
proper for the parents to make the decisions.
Not the children. See, I have a good point? Boom!" He jumped in front of her with enthusiasm.
She simply scoffed. "I am not a
child. I am a young adult, thank you very much."
Avicii could not help himself from sighing. Couldn't he win an argument against his daughter, for once in his life?
The extremely sparkly Pearlcatcher decided this was a waste of her time, and turned around back to her room. It was a waste of Avicii's time too. There must be better people to make fun of.
As he strolled to the edges of the clan's settlement, into the jungle, someone he had almost forgotten came to him. Saphira! That little blue Fae. He remembered she now lived in an Ice clan. It would be an effort to fly there, but Avicii just really wanted someone to prank now. He took off, shooting above the canopy towards the Southern Icefield.
It was not too difficult for Avicii to adjust to the freezing air. After all, he had been through tougher cold in the Tangled Wood, and it was summer here. Not too bad.
He asked another Shadow dragon where Saphira was, and fortunately she turned out to be Tryl, leader of the clan he was looking for.
"Saphira? She's not a Fae anymore, you know!"
She led him to Saphira;s lair.
"Go on, do whatever prank you're going to do!"
He wrote on a piece of paper, the letter 'B'.
Then he sneaked up to Saphira, who was indeed no longer a Fae. She was now a majestic Guardian, having a nap. Pretty just like Airini. He really hoped she didn't have the same attitude to pranks as she did though.
Avicii taped the sheet to her night sky scarf, and shouted, "Bee! Bee on your neck!"
Saphira jolted into action. "W-what? A bee? Who are you?"
But he didn't say anything, except that he tilted his head back and let out a burst of laughter, if that counts. Even if her reaction wasn't exactly what he wanted, he felt obligated to laugh.
Saphira did not seem concerned about the bee at all. She simply stared at him.
"Huh. You can't scare a mighty Guardian like me with a puny bee, wherever it is. Whoever you are!"
To prove her point, her much bigger Sparkling Stinger buzzed to her side. which receded Avicii's laughter.
"Oh." He muttered to himself. "Turns out my prank wasn't as effective as I thought it would be!"
"Oh, it's okay. It sure would have worked better when I was a tiny dragon myself!" She smiled at him. "Who are you, anyway?"
Avicii walked closer to her. "Well, obviously you don't remember me, but you have met me before. I am a dancer in my-no,
our old clan. And a trickster, of course!"
The Sparkling Stinger landed on her wing, and she did not flinch. "Well, you are certainly a charismatic character! How are my mum and dad?"
Avicii scratched his head and blushed. He actually did not pay attention to them. "Ummmm... Aleyris and Zyanyu are doing well.
A hint of doubt showed up on her face. "Well... please tell them their daughter is enjoying her time in her new clan. Promise?"
Avicii placed his pinkie talon in hers. "Look, as a Shadowling, sometimes I'm just not honest. But I will be honest here. I don't know much about them, because I spend most of my time with Genesis.. and they seem rather secretive." He didn't know what else to say for an excuse.
"Alright. But I am depending on you to let them know about me when you return!"
"Of course. I am not going to break this promise."
With that, Avicii made his way back home. He would definitely pay Airini back with a prank next time. . .
