Biography
Slough
(pronounced “SLUFF”)
I swear, every time I hear that word in a video it’s pronounced wrong.
Fortune Teller
“Accurate readings! Palms, cards, crystal ball, you name it! Come to Slough’s tent and slough off your uncertainty!”
I glanced from the pamphlet to the tent a few times, once again questioning my life choices. Still, I didn’t really have much to lose, other than a pocketful of treasure. I’d read plenty of reviews, and the general consensus was that the readings were accurate, but the teller was creepy. “Sinister” was a word I’d read more than once, but since there were no reports of harm done to customers, I made up my mind. Pocketing the pamphlet, I approached the tent’s entrance.
There was a moment of confusion as I wondered whether I should knock or something, but a voice called out from inside: “Come on in.” I timidly pulled the tent flap open and peered inside.
Candles covered the floor near the edges of the tent, and there were a few on the surface of a small, round table in the center of the room. Despite the multitude of green flames, the tent was dim, dark even. I almost couldn’t see the fortune teller behind the table.
“Sit,” he instructed, and I did so, mostly in surprise. I couldn’t think of a word to say, so I stayed silent for a moment. The fortune teller inspected my face for a moment before saying, “You are troubled.”
“Duh,” I blurted out. After a sheepish apology, I explained, “I wouldn’t have come if I wasn’t troubled.”
The dark dragon shrugged. “Many who come in here do so because they doubt my ability, and they either want to see proof that I’m honest, or proof that I’m not.” He shuffled a deck of cards, then cleared his throat. “So, what kind of reading are you interested in?”
I shifted, embarrassed. “Well, I’ve never done this kind of thing before, so…”
“Crystal ball it is,” the Guardian decided with a snap of his claws. A glowing fog began to form in front of me, materializing into a pale blue orb. The orb glowed dimly, but brightened as the fortune teller’s claws approached it. It was nearly blinding as he grabbed it and guided it down to the table, on which sat a pedestal that I hadn’t noticed before. The guardian held the orb down with one hand and used the other to bend three hinged, claw-shaped pieces of metal over the orb. When the orb was secured, the Guardian rested his clawtips lightly on the light’s surface, closing his eyes in concentration. There was a moment of silence, and then he smirked. Another moment and he giggled. I watched in confusion as the fortune teller chortled and snorted.
Suddenly, he looked up so sharply that I flinched backwards. “You should take your family to the fair tomorrow,” he warned, suddenly serious.
“Wh-what?” I asked.
“I can’t make you do anything, but I can make suggestions. This is my suggestion to you. Go.”
~~~
The next day was lovely. We spent all day at the fair— playing games, riding rides, and eating way too much unhealthy food. We couldn’t really afford it, but it was fun.
As we walked back home, we started to see dragons who seemed concerned or frightened. As we crossed the bridge that led to our lair, we saw the beginnings of a bucket brigade, scooping water from the river and sending it in the direction of our home.
“Oh no,” I murmured, breaking into a sprint.
As I crested the hill, my fears were confirmed. There was a huge hole in the side of our lair that certainly hadn’t been there before. The fire was mostly under control, but it had already destroyed the lair.
“Whoa there, ma’am.” One of the bucket brigade dragons stopped me.
“That’s my home,” I gasped, trying to pass the annoying Skydancer.
The dragon stood his ground, spreading his wings to block me even further. “It’s too dangerous. The fire weakened the support beams. The whole lair will collapse—”
Sure enough, a loud crash rang out as the roof gave in. Sparks and splinters flew into the air, and many dragons hid from the shrapnel under a bucket or wing.
“What happened?” I asked weakly.”
The Skydancer kept his position, continuing to pass buckets as he answered, “Something exploded in there. Oil, perhaps. There’s not much we can do except put out the fire. The initial blast caused irreversible damage.”
I staggered, shocked, and the Skydancer added, “It’s fortunate that you and your family weren’t home. You wouldn’t’ve made it out alive if you were.”
It was true. As I thought it over, I realized that even though the fair was expensive, staying home would have cost us so much more.
