Clumsy chimed in, "Didn't she say that Alchemist Smurf was your name, Papa?"
"Yes...But, I never had a mother or a sister….."
The Whisp called, and they followed it to a different painting.
It was smaller than the other, and the change in the two was evident. The Smurflings were slowly reaching adulthood, and the Papa Smurf seemed, they all did, saddened by something beyond the painting. Rose Smurfling and River's Song were missing. The only one who seemed happy was the older Alchemist who was held by Strong.
"I'll read.." Hefty volunteered, "Smurf Valley relocation. Ok, this is a letter apologizing...My dearest wife and beloved daughter, I am filled with grief as are the Smurflings. Your deaths have tortured our sleep. Blah, personal stuff to River's Song...I hereby declare that our son, Alchemist Smurf, will be decided as the next leader of the Smurfs. May he not suffer the pain that I have. May you bless his Smurflinghood, and may he be blessed with a daughter as blessed as you, my Rose. I prophesy that he will travel to afar. I prophesy that he will be gifted in magic. Though, his name may be forgotten in time, may you never forget it. ~Your Papa and Husband, Prophet Smurf. That is epic."
"I still don't think that's me." Papa Smurf concluded.
Again, they were led to another painting. This painting took place in a mushroom, and it was clear who's mushroom it was. A pot-bellied kettle stood in the middle, new potion bottles lined the shelves, and a brown-bearded Smurf was reading from a spell book.
"Papa, isn't that your 'shroom?"
Papa Smurf sighed, "That's me. As a younger Smurf. I'm still wearing white. Let's see….Alchemist Smurf, age 457. Wait, that's right before…..My dear son of my old age, if you should ever find this painting, you are years older and have a village of your own. If your mother did happen to be alive, you wouldn't know her. She would mostly likely be like the way she was when I married her- youthful and quite quiet. I hated keeping this from you, but it was for the better. You were a happier Smurfling without knowing that you once had a mother but lost her before you could remember her. For this forgive me~ Your Papa Smurf."
"Papa? You're crying."
"So I am."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I suppose it's because I just lost my mother without even knowing her."
Smurfette grabbed his hand, "I miss her too."
A/N: :)
Sherlock back, aka CrazyBowtielovingFanGirl. Sorry for having you hang. I hope chapter two makes up. And yes, we will see the pairing HeftyxSmurfette. It won't be the main part of the story, but it will be there. Also, as seen, there is OCxOC - River's SongxProphet
