Jarome smiles. He unsheathes a dagger; it glowed white.

Jecember looks at the blade warily; he puffs a cloud of smoke.

Jarome holds it up. “Angel bone dagger.” He says.

Jecember raises an eyebrow.

“I'll give it to you.” Jarome says with a smirk. “You need only bow and kiss my hand.” He says, curious if Jecember would allow it.

Jecember furrows his brows and puffs a cloud of smoke. He looks to the left, and he looks to the right.

The enchantress, Celine, was watching from a distance.

Jecember lets out a grumble, smoke escaping his mouth. Unwillingly, he bows his head and kisses Jarome’s hand.

Jarome lets out a laugh. He pats Jecember head. “That’s a good boy. Say, thank you daddy.” He says.

Jecember grumbles once more. “Thank you daddy…” He whispers.

Jarome laughs even louder. He throws the Angel bone dagger to the ground and leaves.

Jecember lets out a sigh.

He would do anything; in remembrance, of those pearly gates.

…

…

Jecember’s eyes widen, as if waking up from a hazy dream. It’s almost as if he’s been hallucinating this whole day.

He frowns and thinks it over. “Rosie!” He calls out.

Rosie walks on to the stage, “Yes, Jecember?” She says.

The dragon raises an eyebrow. “What was in that pie?” He asks.

Rosie tilts her head. “Why apples of course.” She says.

Jecember furrows his brows. “From where?” He asks.

Rosie raises an eyebrow. “Don’t you know? There’s an apple tree growing in your treasure pile!” She says with a laugh.

Jecember’s eyes widen. “That tree!?” He exclaims.

“Why? What’s wrong?” Rosie asks.

Jecember puffs out a cloud of smoke. “That tree is evil,” He says. “Good and evil cannot exist without each other. All this treasure, and all these dreams; they’re bound to attract attention. Evil intention, gazes, eyes watching from the darkness; they feed on the purity of the treasure here.” He says.

Rosie’s eyes widen. “Oh no! So many people ate the pie! Will they be alright?” She asks.

The dragon lets out a sigh. “Alas, maybe it is a blessing. All these good things, what’s a little sin?” He says with a chuckle.

Rosie smiles. “I wouldn’t mind a bite,” She says, curious.

…

Kublah Kahn was walking, observing the treasure when he trips.

He was ready to accept the fall, when he saw there was an abyss beneath him.

His eyes widen, and he jumps, rolling and landing away from the hole.

He quickly gets up and yell, “Dragon! What the hell is that?”

His shout draws the attention of the others, and some draw near.

The dragon flies over and lands, looking at the hole. “Oh, that’s a bottomless hole,” He says.

Kublah Kahn’s eyes widen. “What the fuck is that? How did you have this thing?” He asks.

Hikaru looks over. “Holy shit, a bottomless hole,” He says, amused.

Celine raises an eyebrow. “But is it really bottomless?” She asks, not ready to believe it.

The dragon puffs out a cloud of smoke. “Trust me, it’s bottomless,” He says.

Kublah Kahn frowns. “Why do you have this thing out here? What if someone falls in?” He asks, a little mad.

Jecember lets out a laugh. “Not to worry, there’s an on and off switch,” He says, pointing to the red switch next to the bottomless hole.

Hikaru lets out a laugh.

Kublah Kahn shakes his head. “Fuck man. Well, be careful. What if a kid falls into there?” He says, thinking of the consequences.

Jecember lets out a chuckle. “Then we could only blame fate,” He says, puffing out a cloud of smoke.
