Scribble 2: The Princess who reached out to The Dragon

Welcome!

Well, if you've read my previous post, I felt like the ending was half-baked and a very, very unsatisfying. Even when I was re-reading it, I thought, if you're going to make that kind of story, at least make it all the way to the end!

I hope that this one won't be as bad as the previous one.

The story involving a Dragon is pretty common in fairy tales, you could find it in almost any culture. There was Fafnir, Nidhoggr, and Jormugandr in Norse mythology, Ladon in Greek mythology, Yu Long from Chinese mythology.

And then there was the typical form of the story where a Hero fight a Dragon for his treasure. For example, the story of Siegfried and Fafnir from the Norse mythology, Heracles and Ladon from Greek, and St. George and an unnamed Dragon. Even more is in the modern games, literature, and movies such as Harry Potter, the Hobbit, and Eragon.

Most stories about Dragons put them in unreachable place, feared as enemy of humanity or revered as a deity-level entity. But what if, just what if, a Human is able drags down the Dragon and reach out a hand to them? What if the Hero did not merely defeat the Dragon, but save them?

This story would revolve around that concept, albeit with a slight twist.

On the other hand, the story about a Hostage ends up growing attachment or  affection with their Captor was not that rare a story either. This condition is referred as Stockholm syndrome, and is a real condition. Some of the story that includes this condition were the Beauty and the Beast, and the story between Persephone and Hades from Greek mythology.

The scribble will now begin.

He was just a child.

Stripped off of his mind, soul, flesh and body, the role of a villain was forced unto him, as countless Knights braved him, and fell to oblivion.
