This is based off of an idea me and two of my friends came up with in elementary school. Imma just copy and paste some of it onto here for a glimpse of it. But, of course, due to my awful 6th grade writing skills, if I do make this into a story, I'll definitely rewrite it.

The Prologue

The young warrior, Lulu Borene, took in the scene around her with wide eyes, not fully comprehending what was happening. It was difficult to discern who was winning the battle; bodies of both her fellow warriors and horrifying monsters littered the blood-soaked ground. Lulu's mount, a large, silvery dragon named Constellation, had been fatally wounded, and had crash landed, spilling the young woman to the earth. The ferocious wind from a rapidly brewing storm whipped her tangled hair into her face. Screams and cries rang in her ears, and the smoke from a nearby fire made her eyes water.
Fear overcame her. Was she going to die? If she died, would the darkness attack all signs of light, and therefore, destroying the Seven Islands?
No. Lulu thought, clenching her fists. I can't let that happen.
Grabbing her sword and shield, which had fallen near her feet when she crashed, the warrior felt a sudden burst of energy and strength. Holding them made Lulu feel as if she could take on a whole army at once.
Brushing her black, curly hair away from her eyes, she looked around. Most of the monsters were already locked in battle with a warrior.
Except one.
All demons were controlled by a queen. Without her, they would all eventually perish. This was Lulu's first battle with the queen present. All previous battles, where the queen decided to attack, were lost. Currently, the queen wasn't fighting. She couldn't, not when she had to mentally tell hundreds of demons what to do and how to do it. But if more demons were being killed than killing, or if she felt threatened, she would take action. No one ever survived when she attacked.
On the other hand, if Lulu succeeded in destroying the Demon Queen, then the war would be over, and her side would win. She decided that she might as well give it a shot, considering she was in a life or death situation. Lulu, careful to not draw attention, silently advanced on the queen, praying that she wouldn't sense her presence.
The queen was hideous. Laying down, her massive, scaly body stretched for several yards. Three large, scorpion-like stingers dripped with an extremely toxic venom: her most dangerous weapon. Huge bat wings protruded from her, bordered with the bristly hair that lined the rest of her back. Several horns stuck out from her head, and sharp fangs poked through her lips. The queen breathed loudly, as if snoring, but Lulu knew that she was not asleep.
Just as Lulu got close enough to land the final blow, the Demon Queen's eyelids snapped up, revealing glowing, red eyes. She stood up on her hind legs, spread her giant wings, and let out an ear-shattering roar. Lulu winced, covering her ears with her hands. Taking this opportunity, the beast lunged, fangs bared. Lulu barely dodged the attack. The warrior came in with an attack of her own, but the sword barely made a dent in the armor-like scales of the Demon Queen.
The queen spread her wings, taking a deep breath, and the visible veins on her wings glowed red. Lulu held up her shield just as a unique combination of fire, poison, and even electricity was blasted her way through the mouth of the Demon Queen. Thank the moon and stars this shield is practically invincible. Lulu thought, straining against the force of the blast.
At last, the Demon Queen, unable to hold out any longer, collapsed to all fours and growled at her opponent. The monster lunged at Lulu, but the warrior slipped out of the way. She spun around and attacked again, yet Lulu was still able to avoid the claws.
She continued dodging in this way, like some sort of dangerous dance, as she searched for a weak point. As the monstrosity flapped her wings and bellowed loudly in anger, Lulu spotted it. Just where the wings connected to the rest of the body, the skin was soft and exposed. If she angled her sword just right, she would pierce the demon's heart.
Lulu had an advantage. She was smaller, and therefore, more agile, while the Demon Queen was larger and heavier, and was unable to move very quickly. After deflecting an attack with her shield, she quickly moved behind the queen and stabbed her at an angle underneath one of the wings. The monster thunderously howled. As she thrashed about, one of the three tails came up behind Lulu and scratched her deeply on the arm.
The pain was nearly unbearable; Lulu screamed out in pain, still, she held on. She's almost dead. She thought weakly, pushing the sword in deeper. With a final groan, the enormous beast collapsed to the ground, trembling as she gradually died. At last, the monster was still. The Demon Queen was dead.
Lulu staggered to her feet, yanking the sword from the body and wincing from the wound in her arm. Someone was calling her name, but it sounded distant, almost echoey, as if she were underwater. She knew this was the effect of the poison running through her blood. Her vision was rapidly worsening: she saw two or three blurry images of everything she looked at. The ground rushed towards Lulu at alarming speed as her strength finally left her, even with the artificial energy granted to her by the weapons that she wielded.
"Lulu!" A voice urgently cried out. "Lulu, you were so brave. The war, it's over. The demons have surrendered." The voice confirmed that this was Lulu's close friend, Gerlari. She felt Gerlari's gentle hands grab her own. "Lulu? Are you okay?" She gasped noticing the wound for the first time, and hurriedly added, "I'll go get help, a healer of some sort or a-" She couldn't hear or see anything after that. All she knew now was pain. She then saw a light in the distance, promising relief and happiness. She allowed it to take her, and then she was gone.

Because the next chapter is like 7-8 pages long, Imma just leave this prologue for y'all. ;)
