Rumple

Rumple loved this time of year. The cooler breeze sneaking between the trees was nice, but the real draw was the growing anticipation. At the end of the month was his favourite event of all: Halloween! 

Most of the young dragons loved the "trick or treat" portion of it. They would race from den to den, asking for trinkets and goodies they could hoard or eat. Some of them would instead plan and pull elaborate pranks. This got them in trouble, but the rush was more than worth it.

Rumple wasn't like the others though. There was nothing he loved more on this special night than sharing the goodies and trinkets he had gathered just for this. The joy on the little dragons faces as they got their treasure, the elaborate costumes, and even the occasional prank was delightful to behold. 

He would spend all year gathering things to give away to them. Sometimes he would trade a part of his personal hoard if it meant he would get a couple items for his festive collection destined to be distributed. 

Other dragons began to notice, whether they saw it themselves or the hatchlings told them about him with glee the next day. Soon he was getting donations to add to his pile, or they would give him more than generous trades when they knew where their baubles and tasty treats were headed.
