Dragon Knight

In the land of Adanac, Princess Addy sat in the garden with her governess Mariah. Mariah, would read Princess Addy's favourite stories there. The one she was reading today was called "The Knight of the Forest." Princess Addy loved this story only because it spoke of a knight who fought all the dragons in one forest. But when the knight died, catastrophe fell over Adanac. But the fairies hated to see the human's killed and gave the knight everlasting power. Where the knight had become the knight of the forest and guarded it with his life and all lived happily ever after. "Wow," said Addy "Someday I'm going to be a knight and fight ogres and dragon's"

"Oh Princess Amelia, you are only eight"

"But I can be a knight with courage and honour like the knight from the story" she said standing on the wooden bench

"Princess Amelia…"

"It's Addy" she said crossing her arms looking away

"Oh course, princess Addy. But child, only man may be knights"

"Well I'm going to be the first girl to be a knight" she said and ran off

"Ah, like father like daughter" said Mariah giggling

Addy ran inside the castle and ran past seven chambermaids into her mother's room. Her mother was beautiful; she had the lightest blue eyes and dark brown hair with a pale face. "Hello princess Addy" said the room's chambermaid. "How was your day?"

"It was fine, but if I may…" and with those words the chambermaid left the room and left Addy and her mother alone… "Hello mother…" she said trying to swallow down her tears. "I have my plan of leaving the castle to become a knight like the one in my story." She explained her plan to her mother. When she got up to leave, a hand grabbed her arm. "Mommy…" she said crying to see her mother with her eyes open a little and having her beautiful smile, the same smile that hasn't being seeing forever. "Mommy, you're alright"

"Oh my little Amelia, I only want to wish you good luck on becoming "cough" a knight…." He eyes closed shut.

"Mommy, wake up! Mommy…" Addy fell to her knees grasping onto her mother's hand and caressed it with all her might.

The chambermaid came into the room from all the screaming and helped princess Addy to her bed and she fell asleep immediately. Princess Addy dreamt of a pond, it was beautiful with plum trees, apple trees, rose bushes, lilies, hibiscus and many unknown flowers. But on the other side of the river was a creature, it was foggy to see. As she slowly approached the creature she noticed that it was a dragon and she awoke…

She looked around the room to see nothing but her drawers than her mirror. When she noticed something on her dress. She ran to the mirror and turned around to see blood marks on her back. She yanked of her dress yet there was nothing there. But she also noticed that her eyes had slowly faded from chocolate brown to bright bleu. Than her hair changed from being red to blond. She screamed, "What's happening to me?!"

As Mariah ran in to see what was happening. "No, this can't be!"
