The Hero and the Dragon (and a few footnotes from the Storybook Faeries)

Soooooo... what should I write?

Well, anything that pops outta your mind.

That doesn't sound very comforting...

DON'T STOP WRITING JUST WRITE

Even If there are so many mistakes?

Yeah, we can always fix that later.

Ok here goes...

Once upon a time, there lived a hero and a dragon in an enchanted garden. As to why there lived a Dragon and a Hero in an enchanted garden, nobody knows. Heck, even I don't know what the hells' supposed to happen or how to add things XD.

But anyway, apparently, the Hero was captured by the Dragon in his quest to save the princess. Again, pardon me breaking the fourth wall, but why does every hero have to save a princess? Can't they save a damn queen (cuz u know, for guys with older types), a prince (GENDER EQUALITY), or a furry (BEASTIALITY)? I'm sure the Hero also felt that reason, that's why at the last moment, as he was about to cross the threshold from the human world to the dragon world where the princess was abducted in, Hero (wait it sounds incomplete, or should I say MR. HERO) wavered because of his doubt and was captured by the Dragon, (also, the entrance from the human world to the dragon world was located a door by the end of the world... just in case you were wondering).

"Oh no, Surely I'm going to be killed," was what one might think the Hero would think. But no, in fact, the Hero was so tired of this saving the world and the princess schmick that he wanted to see what would happen if sometimes, things never went his way and stuff that goes out of the natural order happened. I'm sure the Hero had the thought of being killed though, the enjoyment of seeing this unusual scenario just overshadowed it.

And now, because I fear that I may be ripping off a certain underrated game, the Dragon gives the hero a choice. For you see, the dragon isn't really a fearsome monster like what you might expect. Ms. Dragon (yes the dragon is female, there ARE female dragons), and all the other dragons in the dragon kingdom, may it be male, female, old, young, straight or curvy, or whatever kind of combination, weren't actually evil. They were just dragged into this simulation of being the bad guy in this world of stereotypes and categorizing everything. And so Ms. Dragon gave the hero a choice, either he would slay her, and all her brethren to save the princess (oh yeah, the dragon cut off Mr. Heros' bonds loose and set him free), or he would stay, listen, and talk like any civil lifeform. Now the Hero isn't some barbarian who only listens to himself and cuts and slashes anything in his way. Mr. Hero is a civil living being, and so is Ms. Dragon in my opinion. So he told Ms. Dragon that he would listen to whatever needs to be listened to.

"Very well then," Ms. Dragon said. "Well you see, the princess was never kidnapped, she came here of her own will. In the first place, why do you humans think that any misfortune is always caused by us, or the orcs, or the trolls and the goblins, or the winged creatures at night, or the ghosts vampires, and practically any other 'monster'? It's outrageous to think that anything different from you is considered a 'monster' and only the majority matters. If not the majority, then only the norm does. But I'm getting too out of topic. The princess you see is a minority. She does appear human, she does live a life that to others may seem pleasing and enviable, and most importantly, her image as a princess already gives her away. With that one word, everything can already be described so perfectly. But you see, she doesn't want any of that. In fact, the things she likes and the things she wants are different from what people expect from her as The Princess. And so to escape from all of that, she went here, where no one would bother her, and she could live life the way she wants and not how people expect from her. But of course, people would misinterpret that it is us that took away her freedom, and not people who bind her in invisible chains."
