30 Day Challenge

Day 5: It's not even day time any longer... It's dragon time!

Okay so I jokingly said that I was gonna attempt the coma thing last night. Guess what. I fell asleep about three-four in the morning and I woke up at six in the evening. SIX in the evening. Do you realise how much I've slept?! That's just about 14 hours straight. And nobody woke me up... I suppose nobody normally wakes me up but damn..! Anyways, that basically was a little coma right there..

This probably means that I'm not gonna be experiencing a lot of things to write about today... ha ha..

This 14 hour sleeping thing is kinda freaking me out a little bit. I mean I've done it before but it's just weird. I guess it makes sense though, I only slept two hours the night before, so combine the two nights and you get an average of eight hours per night and that makes sense. Anyways no maths! I have to study for my exam tomorrow... I just really don't want to...... ugh stupid exam!

All I have to do is really check up on the different genres like journalism, folksong, novelles, fairytales and short stories. I don't even think we've had about poems and lyric.... Strange... Anyways, I am just not gonna bother doing anything but reading up on those genre characteristics! So damn that better be enough to pass! *sigh*...

Okay this far I've written 232 words and this whole 30 Day Challenge requires 500 words a day ~ So maybe I should just continue the dragon tale...

However before I might do so I also wanna point out to any potential reader (hello beautiful *winky face*) that I'm gonna attempt to make the time of day more clear for each specific fragment that I write here in the future. I just read back on some of the shizzle and I reckon that it is a bit difficult to understand it all, but I'm also not gonna go back in something I've published and change it unless there is some massive flaws. That's just a principle of mine, which is starting to annoy me as I noticed a very random "L" in the previous day/chapter and it pains me to not delete it...

Anywhoo! I'm starting on the sequel to that fairytale now, but no promises on whether I'll finish it today or after that ruddy exam tomorrow!

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful young princess in a land far away. She lived together with the queen and the king in their magnificient castle and she loved them both very much. Every evening her mother would tell her stories from all over the world, about all the places her father had conquered and all the gold his men had brought back home. The little princess always enjoyed listening to her mothers stories, but one evening when she asked her father about his adventures, he had suddenly changed character from her loving father to a greedy old man.

He had proudly insisted that he showed her the gold he'd slayen all sorts of creatures to obtain and that he show her the bones and skulls of those creatures. Their heads hung on display in the castle and their bones were set behind protective glass for everyone to see. The young princess saw a dragon skull for the first time just then and remembered her mother's stories about the vile, evil creatures that had killed and abducted their subjects for many years, and how they especially had taken royals. She though that she suddenly understood why. She looked at her father and never again saw the same man she had admired as a child.

Every day since that one, the young princess looked forward to becoming queen and ruling her country by mercy and justice as oposed to greed and violence. She was young by heart but had grown and matured by her spirit.

The princess stopped listening to her mother's stories of her father's bravery and began her own quest towards knowledge and understanding. She read books on dragons and other creatures instead of only hearing the same old one sided tales. She wanted to help the misunderstood beings and looked forward to the day she would be capable of doing so. Her fear of the dangerous creatures were numbed as her knowledge of them expanded and so one day when she was sat alone in her high castle tower on the balcony studying her cause, she saw a dragon flying nearer and felt no fear.

Underneath her, panic erupted and men gathered spears and swords and bows and arrows ready to protect the things they had slayed dragon kin to call theirs. The king and queen saw the dragon too and frigthened for their own sake hurried to safety underground and sent for their daughter to join them. But the princess was high above and their message never reached her.

The enormous dragon spread it's wide wings over the castle and let the sunrays penetrate the delicate skin colouring the ground as red as the dragon it self. Everything looked as if it was on fire, and at that moment the dragon breathed death over the gardens and guards and everything truly was on fire.

The princess looked on from her high protective position in awe unable to move.

Soon the dragon raised it's long neck and horny head to look at the balcony on which the princess had placed herself. The princess looked into its green eyes, which was bigger than her whole body and felt afraid for the first time. In three massive strokes of its leathery wings the dragon had lifted it self above the castle and with its hind claw it gently caught the princess's frame and carried her away leaving behind only an uncontrolable fire and a longing for a tortured justice.

...

Okay it's obvioulsy not done with yet! I'm gonna continue this shizzle tomorrow and that is a promise!

BUT now I'm gonna have to read about stupid folksongs... *sigh* I might continue on a flowery drawing too... or like just go back to sleep...

Btw I just remembered that I slept for 14 hours and clearly didn't eat at all in that period of time. That can't possible be healthy or do anything positive for the metabolism but I was also not hungry at all when I finally woke up. (I just ate dinner an hour ago and now it's 20 to nine) It's strange how when I'm awake I'll be hungry no matter what I do if I don't eat for four hours, but apparently I can sleep for 14 and I wont even be a bit peckish when I rise from the coma. Oh well, just an little observation...

Also I put in a link to a song on Soundcloud which I really enjoy. *I am not the singer!* If I were I would be out touring my third album right about now not sitting by my computer alone in the dark, so no it's not my voice. However I do know the singer and I didn't know she had this talent until quite recently.
