There was once a young prince with fiery red hair. His eyes were bright amber, but never had any light in them. He was mischievous, cunning, and some of the castle servants described him as evil. He would pull pranks, but not funny ones. Not to the average person that is. They were deadly.
His father, the king, acknowledged this. Every time they would talk about his actions, the king foolishly thought that he got through to him. But the next day a new mess would appear, another body he would have to cover and clean up.
This would go on for years, a constant cycle, as time slowly approached the prince’s 18th birthday in which he would have his coronation and take the throne. Nobody, absolutely nobody wanted him as the next king. Fearing the war, the violence, and ultimately the demise of the kingdom. The king finally decided to do something about his son.
He spoke with a mage and decided that the only way to fix his son was to suck out all the evil, all the sin in him.
His father took his son to the castle’s library claiming that he had a surprise for him. The prince walked in first and approached the window looking at the ground below. When the mage stepped out of their hiding spot, directing their scepter at the prince’s back. Then began their chant.
The spell blasted out slamming into the prince’s back as he stumbled against the window sill. The chant continued as the prince gripped the sill as he cried out in pain. His fingers, white from his grip, began to elonginate. It was almost claw-like. His already fiery red hair grew brighter as he finally looked back at the mage and his father. His eyes shifted from the amber to a glowing gold. He glared at the two, his pupils dilating into one of an animals’. His clenched teeth shifted slowly, painfully, into razor sharp canines.
With one last shout of pain he slammed back into the window, hard. The glass shattered and he fell back, his body went plummeting down.
The mage and king stood there in shock. The spell wasn’t supposed to do that.
The king bolted to the window and stared down below. But there was no sign of his son. Looking everywhere across the castle grounds, he noticed a giant shadow coming from above. The king looked up and just above the window was a dragon.
And that dragon was once his son.
Before he could let out a single breath his body was engulfed in flames.
The prince went on to ravage the rest of the kingdom. Enjoying every second of it. The next step for him was to bring his pranks to the rest of the world.
Although it is to be noted, that the mage’s spell didn’t fail. It did what it was meant to do. Take out the worst of him.
The End.

Once upon a time there was a library that stood at the top of a large steep hill. The library held many sacred books ranging from books about princesses to books about monsters and wicked spells. One day a young boy was strolling along the rocky path when he stumbled upon a gold key with many ridges. The boy picked it up and continued along the path. Shortly after the boy saw a ray of light shining from within the trees. He followed the light and sure enough the secret library stood before him. The boy walked up to the library and peeked through the window. To his amazement he saw shelves upon shelves filled with shiny books, from floor to ceiling. The boy continued to walk around the library when he came across the door. On the door was a big lock with many ridges. The boy looked down at the key in his hands and put the key in the lock, and to his surprise the door swung open. He walked in and began looking at all the books. He came across a book with images of dragons on it and opened to the first page. As he began reading the pages started to glow and a big burst of light appeared in front of him. The boy heard what sounded like really big footsteps. He walked to the window and outside in front of him was a huge dragon. The boy looked down at his book, and the image of the dragon appears to be the same as the one outside the window in front of him. The boy had brought his story to life. He realized he found a library that could take you into each story.

Once upon a time, hidden behind a beautiful waterfall, was a dragon protected cave filled with piles and piles of gold. Many people have tried to steal from the dragon, but no one has ever succeeded. One day a boy journeyed to the cave. Unlike the others, he did not make the trip for the gold for himself, he came with hopes of gathering enough gold to financially afford the medical attention his little sister needs to survive. As he crept past the sleeping dragon, he fell into a portal blending in with the walls of stone. To his surprise, he didn’t end up in a cave full of gold but instead, in an endless library with books lining every wall from floor to ceiling. It didn’t take the boy long to realize that the library was the real treasure and each book held the answers to every question. Using the knowledge from the library, he returned home and healed his sister.

Once upon a time, in a small kingdom in the mountains, there lived a curious prince who was bored in his everyday endeavors. Alongside his two friends, children of the servants in the castle, they got up to mischief whenever possible- stealing cakes from the kitchen and tying string around statues. When the queen became annoyed with her son, she confined him to the library in hopes that he would read and study. But the prince was witty, and had other ideas. He knew how to sneak his friends in to make his punishment more bearable. He knew how to play an angel when he needed to, and he eluded the suspicions of castle staff and his parents whenever he was up to something. His two friends, Millie and George, siblings, always went along with his thoughts.
The prince was browsing the shelves when he discovered a weathered, magical looking book. He knocked it off the shelf-halfheartedly and as it landed with a thud, it splayed open to a page with an indent, which matched the shape of a jewel on the prince’s belt. Curious, he removed it and placed it into the book, and a purple and black cloud stirred around the room leaving a dragon in its wake.
The kids ran out of the room, but the dragon followed them along the windows of the castle. As the prince dragged her brother along, Millie flipped through the spellbook to find a way to put the dragon back where it came from.
The process involved 3 steps. The first of which was for the prince to carry out, sneaking into his father’s bedroom and retrieving a special sword from a chest beneath his bed. While he did that, Millie and George made their way to the greenhouse to find the plants they needed to mix a potion. The three met up again in the kitchen, where the prince and George swiped some bread as Millie got the spices which the book called for.
With all the necessities, they retreated back to the library, locked the window, and shut the curtains. Millie mixed things while the prince recited words on the page and George covered the sword with the mixture. They set out to get the dragon next, knowing that impaling him would not be easy. Millie distracted him out on the open lawn while the prince and George scaled his back and struck him in his side with the sword. As they watched the dragon grow dizzy, the prince opened the book, and the swirling mist contained itself to the paper once again. The king was furious with his son for behaving so irresponsibly, but was also impressed that the children were able to contain the dragon so quickly without endangering the whole kingdom. His ultimate decision was that his son had to be educated more to take his mind off of mischief, but that Millie and George could be taught with him to get themselves an education, and in any hopes, make the prince’s learning more entertaining and captivating. The End.

Once upon a time, there was a royal family who lived in a beautiful castle and in the highest tower was a beautiful princess. Her family shut her away many years ago. But not out of hatred or anger, but with her best interest at heart. As the king’s only daughter, he was fiercely protective of her. So, he locked her away to see which prince was worthy of becoming her husband. A man who would put himself in harms way for his daughter.
The princess had grown bored and restless because no prince ever succeeded or tried hard enough to do so. But little did she know, a determined prince was on his way.
After successfully making his way through the Dark Forest, swimming through the castle’s moat, and defeating other various obstacles, he began the climb up the tallest tower.
Meanwhile, the princess was cleaning the big glass windows, jealously admiring the world she didn’t know when she suddenly noticed a crack in the window.
On his climb up, the prince thought to himself, “this is easier than it’s been rumored to be, other princes told stories of a dragon.” Finally, the prince, with pride and excitement, reached the top and made his way in. No one was there.
He looked around, alarmed, and through the shards of a broken window. he saw the princess riding atop the dragon, flying far, far away towards the horizon.
The End.

Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a tower protected by dragons. Inside this tower were treasures that were unimaginable, from precious gems and jewels to a library with volumes of both the known and unknown. One day, a selfish thief came across this sacred tower. Having heard of its legacy and craving power, along with lust for a potential bride, he quickly ventured to steal what was inside. There were many obstacles blocking the front of the tower, from dangerous moats surrounding the perimeter to the dreadful dragons. However, through quick wit the thief was able to conquer them. He took out an enchanted flute and began to play a melody so peaceful that the dragons fell asleep, and crossed the moats using the outstretched tail of one. Cocky and prideful with his accomplishment, he began to dance and flailed in celebration, only to take a wrong turn and awaken one of the dragons. Inside the tower, the princess could hear the enraged dragon and became startled. The only times she had heard it in such outrage was when something horrible was bound to happen, such as an intruder. The princess quickly went to the library to get a better view as to what was happening outside. Suddenly, the dragon came clearly into view. Never had she seen it so close before. It was only then when she saw the cowardly man attempting to retreat, only for the dragon to swallow him whole. The End.
