Log inStar Struck Pt.1
Blizz sat in the bar drinking away his woes, an act that had unfortunately now become a normal part of his weekly routine. Rain drizzled outside onto the glass windows of the neighborhood bar, slowly flowing down the panes, personifying Blizz’s own feelings towards himself. He flicked his tail back and forth as he looked around the room, hoping to see someone there he was interested in, his drunken stupor fueling his desire for companionship. Most of the guys in the bar were regulars like himself, who he knew weren’t interested in him. The orange fox at the billiards table had apologized and rejected him last week, the red and gray cat at the end of the bar told Blizz he was straight multiple times, and the brown bear playing darts wouldn’t even look at him.
Blizz exhaled audible as he downed another drink, starting to believe in his head that he’d be alone forever. Why even try anymore? It’s hopeless anyways, at least that’s what he thought to himself. The alcohol made it easier to process his loneliness, but also often resulted in him making a fool of himself. Just last week Blizz had tripped over his own tail leaving the bar, face planting into a puddle just outside the door, not that he could remember it anyway. He always found himself waking up the next morning with a huge migraine, puke stained fur, and no memory of how he got home, if he made it home at all. He’d become so used to his routine he couldn’t see far enough to realize how bad it was.
The night went on normally for the drunk pup drinking one after another, karaoke, slurring his words, and other nonsense. Suddenly a large figure entered the bar, he was massive with an aura about him demanding all eyes on him. Blizz turned to the door as he realized everyone else was looking in that direction, his jaw dropped to the floor to his back paws as he realized who it was. The large celestial dragon that walked in was none other that THE Aurelian Sol (Asol), a famous star forger and cosmic overlord. Bright blue shone from his dark blue skin as the light reflected off of his golden crown. His skin looked like deep space, glistening with the light of stars he created, all while his purple mane blew behind him.
Several people left as he walked in, not feeling worthy of being in his presence. Blizz nervously scooted to the far end of the bar, maintaining a small amount of sense. Asol approached the bar, where a very nervous Wolf took his drink order, stuttering and fumbling his words. An hour went by where everyone in the bar tried to ignore the Celestial’s presence, it certainly felt odd having someone of his stature in a place like this. Unbeknownst to Blizz, Asol looked over at him many times, as if he was measuring him up. The drunk and nervous puppy didn’t dare look over in that direction, it was a well known fact that even so much as inconveniencing a celestial dragon would have dire consequences, partner that with the rumor that they were relatively easy to frustrate.
Blizz felt a shiver down his spine as he felt an unnerving presence behind him, rotating his barstool to see the glowing dragon standing inches away, he looked up to meet his eyes realizing just how tall Asol towered above him. Blizz could feel the celestial energy beaming from his dark blue skin, making him feel more inferior than ever. He couldn’t help but wonder why the dragon approached him of all people.
“Hello pup, my name is Aurelius Sol” he said, his voice was deep and full.
Blizz attempted to respond, his tail tucked and his legs shaking. “I.. I ummm… I”
He couldn’t form words or even the courage to run. Aurelius’s presence was intimidating in a way Blizz had never experienced. The enormous Dragon continued to stare at the clearly frightened pup waiting for a response, when suddenly a dark spot formed on Blizz’s shorts, expanding and running down his legs to form a puddle on the floor. The scared pup looked down in horror as the realization came that he just pissed himself in public.
He looked back up, tears forming in his eyes, only to see a smirk of amusement on Asol’s face. The magnificent dragon found the shy pup adorable. Being a celestial he had no experience with the growth or lifecycle of the various furry races, and he’d become curious enough to seek out his own ward if you will, wanting to experience what it was like to parent a mortal being. He’d spent ages routinely visiting normal venues looking for the perfect person in clear need or re-education and direction, and he just found the perfect specimen.
Blizz let out a high pitched “eep” as Asol scooped him up into his arms in one swift motion. He couldn’t quite believe how strong the dragon was and how easy it was for him to pick him up like that, if you looked closely enough you'd see a red hue under blizz’s fur on his cheeks. He wasn’t sure what Asol was up to, but he knew better than to anger a Celestial Dragon, even in his drunken state he wasn’t stupid enough to debate.
Asol looked down into the eyes of the frightened and soaked pup, thinking to himself “Oh yes, you will do nicely indeed.”
