(Just a silly little au I thought of. Read on and enjoy my lovely people.)
Countless brave heroes and handsome knights had come to try to save a poor damsel in distress, who had been captured by an evil dragon simply known as Victoria. However, as it turns out, this young maiden was in no danger the entire time. The dragon was actually quite nice and took care of the girl. In fact, the two came to enjoy one another's company. The Knights and heroes simply didn't pass any of the dragon's expectations. Or the girl's, for that matter.
Max, the 'damsel in distress', had been captured by the dragon around a year ago. At first she was terrified and frightened by the dragon, but soon Victoria made it clear that she meant no harm. She was simply lonely and wanted someone to talk to. The pair became quick friends. Victoria protected Max, and Max kept Victoria company.
However, men kept coming to rescue her. They had made it into a sort of game. Victoria would describe the man to Max, and she would determine if they were worthy. Of course, that hasn't happened yet. When they failed, Victoria would simply snarl at them and they would go running off.
The pair lived in an old, fancy castle. One day Max was in her bedroom reading when she heard Victoria's low, gruff voice coming from a tower. Max headed up, wondering what was happening.
As soon as Max reaches the top of the tower the dragon starts to speak. "There's another knight coming to save you." She grins as well as a dragon can grin, thin tendrils of smoke drifting from her nostrils. "He looks goofy and awkward."
I giggle slightly, peeking over the wall. There was a man approaching the castle on a horse. He seemed uncomfortable, both with the horse he was riding and the suit of armor that he was sporting.
He steps off of his horse once he's close to the castle. More like falls off of his horse. The knight picks himself up and brushes dirt off of his armor.
Then he pulls his helmet off. As it turns out, the knight wasn't a man at all. In fact, it was a pretty girl with bright blue hair, who stares up at the tower.
I stare at her, a soft smile on my face. She was beautiful. Much better than the rest of the knights and heroes who had already arrived. I nod at Victoria, telling her to speak to the girl.
"Who are you, brave hero?" She growls down at the girl, small flames escaping from her nostrils to make herself seem more terrifying.
The girl stares up at Victoria, seemingly not afraid. "Uh, sup, dragon? I'm Chloe Price, um... Not really a hero. I just heard about this girl that got kidnapped by you and I wanted to see if I could rescue her. I, uh, borrowed this armor from my friend." She smiles sheepishly.
I nod at Victoria again, grinning. I like this girl. Even though she's goofy, it's adorable.
"Mm... If you are not a knight, than what are you?" Victoria asks. "And, might I ask, why are you not afraid of me. I, of course, could end your life in an instant."
The girl's face pales at that. "Well, um...I heard that you didn't just instantly kill the heroes so I thought I might as well try... And I'm an apprentice to an artist." She scuffs the ground with the toe of her boot.
I gently nudge the dragon's side and whisper "I like her." Victoria glances down at me, giving me a short nod.
"So, dragon dude... Am I worthy of rescuing the damsel in distress?" She snorts slightly at the last part, almost like she knows that Victoria means no harm to me.
Victoria glances down at me. I nod, grinning. "She seems awesome. Thank you so much for keeping me safe all this time."
The dragon smiles sadly. "Of course, Max. Thank you for keeping me company all this time. Will you think about visiting me sometimes? It's so sad to see you go."
I gently hug the large dragon's side. "Of course I will. I'll make sure to visit you whenever I can."
She nods and tells the girl, Chloe, that I will be down to meet her soon. I make my way down the tower and through the castle gates, where Chloe is waiting.
She smiles brightly when she sees me, and awkwardly bows. I giggle softly as I watch her struggle with the armor for a second. "Um, hi there. So... I'm Chloe." She sticks her hand out.
I gently shake it. "I'm Max. It's nice to meet you, Chloe."
The tall girl grins, a slight blush on her cheeks. "Hi... You're so gorgeous. I mean, um. You're pretty. Like, you're really cute. I mean..." I giggle again at how flustered she seems.
"I think you're pretty cute too, actually. So, how about we go to town and get to know each other a bit better?" Chloe nods eagerly, lifting me onto the horse gently. She then clambers onto the horse, apologizing when she accidentally kicks my leg.
Everything about this girl is adorable. And after speaking to her and getting to know her for the past few weeks, I fell for her. Hard. And thankfully she felt the same way.
We go to visit Victoria the dragon every once in a while. Chloe became fast friends with the dragon, the two being able to joke around together and tease each other.
Now, even years later I'm thankful that this dragon 'kidnapped' me. It lead me to the best person that I've ever met in my life. I love Chloe, and she loves me. I know that we'll be together forever.
(I think this turned out nicely. And by the way, I'm not dead. I'm just having a really hard time writing right now, and I need to focus on school. So for a while, updates for everything are gonna be hella slow. Anyway, let me know what you thought about this. Thanks)
