There was a daughter of a king who had forgotten her name. When faced with a falling empire, he traded her with a witch to save himself and his empire...

When Alice was fully awake the warm feeling of the kiss was gone. The owner of the unnaturally warm lips that had kissed her and the hand that had been against her cheek was no where to be found.

She sat up, surveying the room. It was empty, snow fell silently outside her window. Had it been winter when she was out to sleep? No- It hadn't.

There was the large bed she had been sleeping in and a wardrobe against the wall with the door. There was several bookshelves full of books and dust and a desk next to the window. Dust covered most of it, Alice supposed she had been sleeping for quite a while, but the exact time was unknown.

That witch had done a good job of dressing her and the room up.

Alice climbed out of the bed, ready to be free of the silky sheets that had trapped her here for however long. She took a second to regain balance and then crossed the room to a mirror near the wardrobe. Her reflection didn't look any different.

She shall be sleeping in an eternal state. She shall be guarded by an impenetrable field and a fearsome dragon. She shall only wake of a true love's kiss.

She remembered the curse. No matter how long had passed, her body wouldn't show it. That part was obvious, she still looked the same. Same green eyes, same ash blond hair, same freckles, and same eighteen-year-old she was used to seeing in the mirror. Was she still eighteen? How long had it been since her birthday?

Alice turned to the window, it was cold to the touch. She could see the shield made of magic or something along those lines.

If someone should seek her, they must pass the field and defeat the dragon. Only then would they have the chance to see if they are her true love.

So where was he? The field wasn't broken. Alice squinted, but the shield wasn't broken. But she had been woken up. She had been kissed, even if she hadn't even see his face, she knew she had been. There was no other reason for her to be awake. Maybe he was in the tower.

At that thought Alice left her room and started to explore. At first she went down on the winding staircase, finding a kitchen and a storage room with various cleaning things and other generic items and lots of crates. After being disappointed with her discoveries below, Alice started up.

Alice climbed past her room and reached the highest room. She was met with a simple wooden door and pushed it in. Inside was an empty room. Empty other than a pile of shiny items like silverware and coins. There were steps and a large balcony leading out to the roof of the tower. From the door she saw a golden scaled tail that twitched back and forth, from the roof.

Alice gasped and almost fell over her own feet trying to escape. The dragon. How could she have forgotten that important part? There was a dragon guarding her! A real fire-breathing, hoarding, fearsome dragon.

She quickly stepped out of the room, thankfully the dragon was on the roof and hadn't realized she had come in uninvited. Alice shut the wooden door, deciding she was never going to open that door again.

The princess turned back to her bedroom. Alice was still trapped here, there were no doors on the tower and the field still shielded her from the rest of the world.

Alice plopped back onto her bed, but had no intention of sleeping. She would have to live here alone until someone decided to rescue her. The princess glanced back to the window, how ever long that would be.
