Luckwell "Lucky" Mud Miremonster

Being the son of two Horrors, it isn't much of a surprise that Lucky has inherited an aura power of his own. Rather than making others afraid or tired, Lucky's presence causes things to become more calm and quiet. His power is so strong, that it even counteracts Cricket's hearing sense and gives her moments of silence. He also has extremely soft fur, even compared to other Tundras.

Lucky had a harsh life, and without any guidance from his parents, he ended up making some massive mistakes. He was bitter and depressed as a teenager, and he often disobeyed laws and stole from others. One theft ended up with his head being stuck within a cursed helmet that could never be removed. After that escapade, he was known as "Luckwell the Faceless". After meeting Cricket, he had no mutual feelings of the love that she expressed. However, another dragon convinced Lucky that if he married her, he could use Cricket's royal status to his advantage and free his parents. After getting married to Cricket, he immediately broke her heart by saying that he had never actually loved her. The shattered princess left the Province in an attempt to get away from her misery, and Lucky's deed quickly came into the light. Swamplurk was furious and placed a title on him that replaced the former: rather than being faceless, he was known instead as "the Heartless". Lucky was consumed with guilt after learning of Cricket's disappearance, and he finally saw how evil he had become. He gathered up some items and set off in search of Cricket. Shortly after leaving the Province, he encountered Cricket's father, Starseeker, who was also starting to look for her. Starseeker was extremely upset towards Lucky, but they both agreed that finding Cricket would be easier if they teamed up. Working together, they survived many harsh challenges and braved extreme dangers, soon becoming friends. Lucky got separated from Starseeker at one point, but he still continued on, though he was beginning to lose hope. He finally found Cricket, lying tranquilly within a magical meadow. He begged for forgiveness and promised to become a better dragon, and Cricket had compassion toward him and forgave him. He still felt guilty for all the pain he had caused however, so he tried to win Cricket back over by doing things for her. She finally agreed to come back home, but Lucky knew that she no longer loved him the way she once had.




"Hi, Lucky. Welcome to the interview."

"Hi..."

"Today, all I want to know is stuff about you."

"Umm, okay..."

"Let's start then. Tell me about yourself, Lucky."

"Well... My parents are Horrors."

"Ah, I see. And how does that make you feel?"

"Well... Pretty bad sometimes I guess. Everybody kinda treats me different. They avoid me or gossip... I-I don't feel like talking about it."

"I understand."

"..."

"So, Lucky, how'd you get your name?"

"You know, I think you're possibly the first dragon to ask me that. I actually got it before the naming ceremony, when I was still an egg. My egg fell off of a really high place after a bird snatched it up. The Queen said it was a miracle that I even survived. The shell was only slightly scuffed."

"How interesting!"

"Yeah."

"Now Lucky, I've heard a lot about you, and I've got to ask... Is it true? Did the Mire Monster story really happen?"

(Groan)

"Could you recount it for me?"

"Yeah, it's really true... And I really don't want to talk about it."

"Lucky? Lucky, where are you going? Lucky! Hey, come back! This interview isn't even halfway over! We have cookies afterward!!!"

[Please hold during this brief intermission.]

"Well, Lucky. I think you might be the first guy I've interviewed who I've literally had to chase down and tackle to the ground. That was quite an exercise!"

"Hmmphnuuhhm..!"

"Oh, right. I guess I should take off your gag. There we go!"

"You're insane!"

"I am not. Anyway, this interview isn't about me, Lucky. It's about you."

"What do you want?!"

"To know about you."

"Why?"

"Enough questions for me! Lucky, why do you always wear that dashing helmet?"

"I-I-Wait... Did you just call it 'dashing'..?"

"Did I? Oops."

"Who are you?!"

"So, Lucky, do you find it hard to live in a village where your parents are infamous?"

"..."

"What's your favorite color, Lucky?"

"...Why do you keep saying my name?"

"Why won't you answer my questions?!"

"Because I'm tied to a chair for crying out loud! I have no idea who you are and I'm actually partly scared to find out. You chased me down and gagged me!"

"Would you like a cookie?"

"Stop dodging my questions, you freak!"

[Please hold during this brief intermission.]

"Well, that interview was a bit of a bust. Hopefully you've had a little time to calm down after yesterday."

"Those cookies tasted horrible."

"Hey, I made those myself!"

"I get that you kidnapped me, but come on. Can't a victim at least get a blanket or decent food if you're gonna leave him alone for a whole night?"

"I didn't kidnap you! I just gave you a place to bunk for the night."

"Whatever."

"So, Lucky, when did you become a guard?"

(Groan)

"Have you ever tried to talk to your parents or visit with them, Lucky?"

(Sigh)

"Lucky, do you have many friends?"

"No. Especially since I'm trapped here. Speaking of which, what is this place?"

"Why... Why can't you just cooperate?"

"You can't force someone to talk. What are you even trying to do?"

"I'm not trying to harm you in any way."

"Then why are you doing this? Who are you?"

"I-I... It's difficult to explain."

"If you won't start telling me what's going on, I won't talk either."

[Please hold during this brief intermission... Again.]

"Fine. You are one determined tundra. I give up. We've been sitting here for hours without saying anything, and I can't stand the quiet."

"Answers. Now."

"I'm like you, Lucky. Alone. Mocked. Looked down on. I'm a freak, as you've pointed out before. I... I wanted an interview. That's all I really wanted. I needed an interview. I collect information. But you... You are a very interesting dragon, Lucky. You are the son of two Horrors, and yet you turned out to be good. That hasn't happened much."

"How would you know..? Are you the daughter of two Horrors?"

"No."

...More Chatting...

"Ok... But, you still haven't answered one question. Who are you?"

"I'm... I'm Cricket."
