Probably already-used idea.


Day 26: Fairy Tales

Once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter; this daughter, he loved with all his heart and, when his wife was taken away from him in a war, he tried to find ways to protect his small angel.

He worked hard, studied document after document, and eventually found a way to build the most secured and safest tower in the world. And he had it built the day he made the plans.

Once it was finished, he brought his daughter there and invited her to take a look; she loved it there so much, and the King was happy for that.

Now, one day, it happened that the King had decided to create a dragon to guard the castle even more. This dragon was made kind, gentle, and loyal to the Crown, but he was very lonely; so the King also created a few other dragons to keep him company, and this made him happy.

But one day, evil people came to the castle; these evil men wanted to keep the castle as their own, but the dragon won't let them, and tried to fend them off. So the men battled the dragon and his friends and family, and killed them all but the one, then ran away.

The dragon was filled with pain and anger at the death of his loved ones: he wanted revenge, and he wanted it so badly. The Kind sent patrols to find the men, but they never did.

This angered the dragon to the point he locked the princess in the castle with her Father and put them both under a deep trance.

Years have passed; and now, a shy prince is out on patrol when he meets two common peasants. When questioned, one of them says he has decided to escape his abusive home and see the world, while the other one, who is really a duke's king in disguise, escaped his home out of boredom. The prince takes them to the Palace and treats them as equals, as friends.

Soon, another companion joins their small group: a girl, the daughter of a royal man's lover, who is venturing the world in search of a real and more decent home with her half-brother.

The four spend many months together; then, one day, they hear about the sleeping princess and the dragon and decide to go there.

The Prince, however, decides to remain further away as possible and study the battle grounds, for, one must know, he was better at the brains than the brawn. So the four journey to the fabled land, and three of them fight every day magical creatures and uncover the castle's secrets, while the Prince tries to figure out a way to save the young maiden and her father.

A year later, the group is joined by two knights, who have come there to bring the princess to their king; a fight ensures, and they decide to eventually cooperate all together, then they'll decide what to do with the Princess. But one of them if kidnapped by the dragon.

They eventually mange to free him after a year, and it also helps them find a way to defeat the dragon; but it is then that they discover the other knight has betrayed them, and that their King's army will come to slay the beast just in a few days. So the team of now five Warriors must act quick.

With what information they got, they penetrate inside the castle, and are able to wake the Princess and her Father; but it is not enough, as the dragon awaits at the exit. Eventually, the King makes a pact with the beast: he will offer himself as a sacrifice if the dragon left the land forever. He accepts, and the Princess closes her eyes and cries as her last member of the family is taken away.

They six take the princess away in secret and bring her to the castle, where they all become friends. Eventually , few years later, the Prince marries her, and the commoner marries the half-blood, while the duke's son is wed with a rebel duchess a year later.

And they all lived happily ever after.
