Dear Diary,
I have finally made it back to my rooms after the coronation ceremony. But what happened on my way here is much more interesting. So I shall tell. As I swiftly walked down the dark corridor, an equally dark figure came towards me. I had pulled my knife from the folds of my dress and had stood in ready position. One hand clutched the knife and the other held a flame at the ready. "Who are you. " I had demanded. " A friend. " A deep mans voice replied cryptically. "Oh, is that so? " I said cooly. " Yes. I can help you scarlet. All you have to do is say the words. After all, I am your knight in shining armor, right?" He said. " I don't need a knight in shining armor. For I shall slay my dragons alone. " I replied. "Oh, will you now?" He said. " Yes. Now leave me, before you end up like the last dragon I hath slew." I said darkly. " Alright but know this, I shall be back my little dragon slayer. " He said. " Then I shall be expecting you." I said.

"Why do you choose to fight on your own child" asked the dying dragon. "Because I must, I can't trust, and I can't love, not anymore. " The girl said, then quickly drove her sword through the dragons heart, ending it, forever.

Bittersweet , by Scarlet Rose.

My heart is bittersweet you see, having once known the light. The darkness has come you see, it has come for me. But as I pull deeper in the darkness, I know that I'll not be seeing that sweet light again, only bitter darkness shall I see, forever more. So my heart is bittersweet, as it slowly rots away.
