A Halloween Miracle
Once there was a dragon named Silke who wished for human friends. She enjoyed dressing up and playing pranks—but most of all she enjoyed getting her way.
Silke eventually came to the Halidom and met a kindly prince. She loved spending time with him, and soon every day was filled with fun.
One day, she learned the people of the castle were holding a party to celebrate Halloween.
When she found out all the other girls at the party would be wearing adorable clothes, Silke became both sad and intensely jealous.
And so she approached Althemia— who had made the other girls' dresses—and asked if she could get her own special outfit for the party.
But Silke was used to always getting her way, and had never learned how to ask a favor of a friend. So in the end, she couldn't make her request clear enough for Althemia.
"Who cares about some stupid old dress?" muttered Silke. "I didn't even want one in the first place." And with that, she stomped away in a huff.
But someone had been watching her the whole time.
That kind soul knew Silke really did want a dress above all things, and so decided to do her a special favor...
Silke envied the other girls in their pretty Halloween outfits, but didn't know how to ask for one of her own.
But then a kindly onlooker saw her conflict and decided to lend a hand. So they went to Althemia and asked her to make a dress on Silke's behalf.
A short while later, Althemia paid a visit to Silke with a gift in hand: An outfit the likes of which no one had ever seen before.
"I tried making a dragon-sized dress," said the nervous seamstress. "J-just for my own curiosity! So don't go getting the wrong idea. But, um... Well, I suppose you can have it."
Silke was at a loss for words. She'd never had someone surprise her with a gift like this before, and didn't quite know how to respond.
"Er, I... Thanks?" she said finally. Sad as it was, it was also the best response she could muster.
"Fine, whatever," muttered Althemia. As she walked awkwardly away, Silke couldn't help but notice that the girl's cheeks were bright red.
She seemed flustered. Embarrassed. "Maybe she doesn't know how to talk to people either," thought Silke. "Maybe we're alike in that."
And so Silke decided to make a point of talking to Althemia again. Maybe, just maybe, she could be the friend Silke had been hoping for.
Silke resolved to thank Althemia properly at the Halloween party, and her excitement welled up as she slipped into her beautiful new dress.
But before anything else could happen, she had to show off her amazing dress to her favorite human ever: Euden.
"I didn't know you were dressing up for Halloween, Silke!" said the prince. His surprise was quite genuine, and she relished in his reaction.
The others at the party were equally impressed, and it soon turned into one of the finest nights Silke could ever remember.
......
"Was that design all right for you, Euden?"
"It was exactly what I had in mind. Silke seemed to love it, too."
"A dragon with an interest in playing dress-up? She's a strange one."
"Ha ha! I bet you and her would get along quite well, actually."
"Wait, me? Friends with a dragon? Well, I suppose someone who loves fashion can't be all bad, so I guess I could try chatting with her..."
