Page 5: Once upon a time, a prince lived in a castle
Page 6: Ever since the age of ten, he was told that he was to continuously train until he was ready to
save a poor helpless girl locked in a tower
Page 7: So, he dedicated his life from age ten to eighteen to train to become her savior
Page 8: The crimson dragon guarding the tower he was training to defeat was almost the size of the tower itself, had scales as sharp as the thorn of a rose, breathes raging fire, and has claws sharper than the swords he trains with.
Page 9: His training included sword fighting, weight lifting, wall climbing, running,
Page 10: and jumping out of the line of literal fire.
Page 11: So the day he reaches eighteen, his father gifted him with a sword, and his mother a necklace to give the helpless girl he has poured all his energy into saving
Page 12: They then bid their sorrowful, but proud goodbyes sending him off to save the girl who has been waiting for the day he would come.
Page 13: His journey began in the woods, a place tangled with branches and foreign creatures
Page 14: He crept his way through the maze of trees to avoid the attack of an animal
Page 15: He then continued on through the dessert where he
Page 16: Decided to rest for a short spell as the clear starry sky turned into an overcast morning
Page 17:He rose from his slumber to complete his long journey to find the lonely princess awaiting his arrival
Page 18: As he treaded closer and closer to the tower he could hear the faint roar of the beast he would have to overcome in the distance.
Page 19: He stopped dead in his tracks as fear crept through the veins in his whole body gradually making its way to his pounding heart.
Page 20: He wondered if he could really defeat the creature who has never been defeated. Is he strong enough? Has he prepared enough?  What has he gotten himself into?
Page 21: He began to talk himself out of his scared state, realizing that this is his life's work.  He was built for this task.  The task to save a girl who could not save herself.
Page 22: He begins to walk and as he gets closer and closer he then sees the dragon in all of his blood- red glory.  The beast catches his eye and
Page 23: the prince whips out his sword and charges the humongous creature
Page 24: He rolls out of the way as the dragon breathes a ball of electric blue fire in his direction.  When the prince stands he manages to jab the dragon in its side, and the dragon reacts with a roar of pure agony
Page 25: The prince then climbs up the beast's backside, like a monkey, so it can no longer attack him with fire.
Page 26: Then, in one dramatic arc the prince stabs the dragon in the eye to impair the beast's vision.
Page 27: With the dragon's new lack of sight the prince is able to attack with one final stab to the large heart of the beast
Page 28: An that is when the scaly monster thumps to the floor in agonizing defeat.
Page 29: Filled with adrenaline the prince runs up the stairs in excitement, only to find what appears to be an empty bed
Page 30: Getting closer he sees there is a note written in the most elegant cursive his eyes have seen.  The letter states:
Page 31: Congratulations! You beat the dragon! Since you, my savior, took quite a long time to come save me I took matters into my own hands.  I escaped the tower by outwitting the dragon at every turn.
Page 32: So, by the time you read this I am in one of two places: in my bed taking a nap, or traveling the world I have been deprived of seeing because I was stuck in a boring tower for way too long. Yours Truly, the girl who decided to save herself

*Note: The grammar and sentence structure is no where near perfect.  My goal here was to get the general idea of the story down and come back to it later
