A Princess, a Warrior and the Dragon

I was told to write a story

about a princess

a warrior

and a dragon

Here is my story:

Once upon a time there was a princess

who lived in a castle surrounded by walls that seemed to touch the sky.

 One morning she woke

and made the decision to climb

to the highest point and look over the wall

to see what she could see.

As she was climbing the stairs she came upon a warrior.

"Where are you going, Princess?" he asked.

"To see what I can see," she replied.

The warrior followed the princess to the top most part of the castle.

The princess looked out to the west and saw a vast ocean,

 to the north she saw a tall forest,

to the south a fertile meadow,

and to the east a great mountain.

"I wish to leave the castle and climb the mountain," the princess told the warrior.

"Oh, you can not leave the castle," the warrior told her,

"for a dragon lives at the base of the mountain

and he waits for those who leave."

"A dragon!" the princess cried.

But she couldn't take her eyes from the mountain.

For seven days the princess woke early and climbed the stairs

to see what she could see,

always stopping to stare at the mountain

and wishing she could leave her castle.

But each day her fear of the dragon 

kept her inside.

On the eighth day

she could stand it no more.

She opened the gate and walked out of the castle.

The dragon waited, just as the warrior foretold.

"Where are you going?" the dragon asked, 

licking his lips with his long red tongue.

"I want to climb the mountain," the princess replied.

"Why?" asked the dragon.

"To see what I can see," she said.

The dragon's tail twitched.

He swung his head to look at the mountain.

They he turned to the princess.

"Want a ride?" he asked.

 

And they soared over the mountain

and then over the ocean

and the princess

saw all she could see.

What is your princess, warrior, dragon story?
