Welcome to a Kirby series I made specifically to write my headcanons down. Some of these stories are dark, and some are lighthearted. All of them are going to be short because i'm in high school and i'm kinda lazy. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy them. There's influences from other Kirby writers here, and i really hope you guys don't mind that.
Headcanon #1: Puffballs don't reproduce, they wish upon a star and their children are created magically cause the other way is gross.
The wizard lurked in the trees, watching the puffball couple gaze up at the stars. It was a new moon, perfect for hiding in the shadows. No one would be able to see him until he made his move.
Months prior, Nightmare had discovered that a dreamstarian, more commonly referred to as a puffball, had been destined to defeat him. He was immortal, but could be drastically weakened. He also knew that if there was hope of defeating him after he came back, he would never rise to power again. Thus, he had to plan.
It had taken months to conjure a plan and cover up any possible issues that would come along, but now, he was finally here. His plan was unfurling right in front of him.
The larger puffball, presumably a male, spoke out to the stars.
"Please, star goddess, hear our wish! My wife and I are wishing for a child." he said.
Suddenly, a ball of light formed high in the sky.
It slowly descended, sparkling like a shooting star. Nightmare had been right about dreamstarian children. They could only be obtained by a wish between two true lovers. How sappy.
The bundle fell into the female dreamstarian's hands. She started to tear up, and the male dreamstarian put his hands around her. Seeing his opportunity, Nightmare made the couple's surroundings pitch black, leaving the bundle as their only source of light.
The dreamstarians came closer together, fearful expressions on their faces. The female was conflicted between protecting the ball of light, or using it as a lantern of sorts.
"Hello," A deep voice echoed around the two.
"I believe we have never met."
"Wh-who are you?" The male dreamlandian said. He seemed ready to fight, as did the female. She, however, was holding her child, and couldn't make a fighting stance.
"My identity is not important. What is important is your child." Nightmare extended his hand. The shadows made it appear as though a ghost had reached out to them, as they could not see his body. Only his arm and a pair of glowing red eyes.
"You can't take him!" The male dreamlandian guarded his wife. "Lucia, run to the village."
Lucia didn't move. "Adrien, I can't leave you-"
"Just go!"
Before she could run off, Nightmare blasted them both with dark magic, killing the two instantly.
"Finally." Nightmare took the ball of light from her. "I've finally got you. My secret weapon."
