The Princess wondered around the ruins of the castle in a daze. Her family and people were gone. She was completely alone. What had happened here? She thought in a panic. What was she going to do? She had spent her life being taken care of but now there was no one here to take care of her. She awoke to a disaster. The castle was destroyed, rubble that used to be walls was littered every where and she could clearly see outside through the walls that were left. Smoke hung in the air. Not a single living thing appeared to her. Not a mouse, not a dog, nothing.
Just then a flapping noise drew the Princess' attention to above. She gasped as she saw a great dragon circling above the castle. It's large eyes focused on her as it let a fireball fly from its mouth. The fireball flew above the castle, not meant for the Princess, just meant to show her it's power.
The Princess began to run aimlessly through the castle, trying to get away from the dragon but it seemed there was no where to hide. It's large, dark eyes followed her every moment. It landed in front of the castle, then disappeared.
The Princess gapped wondering where it could have gone. Finally the sound of footsteps broke through her thoughts. As they came closer and closer the Princess' good sense kicked in and she whirled to run. Too late. A hand snaked out and caught her by her long blond hair. She was roughly yanked backwards into a muscular leather covered chest. The wind was knocked out of her as she struggled to regain her balance.
"Hello, Princess." a voice breathed into her ear. She shivered at the warm breath. She found herself in an iron grip, unable to turn around and see the face of her attacker.
"What do you want?" she stammered out.
Her attacker's body shook as he laughed. "What I intend to have, dear Princess." With that he spun her and threw her over his shoulder so fast that she was unable to get a look at him. She struggled to try to get free but her flowing gown hampered her movements.
Her capture took large strides towards the only area undamaged, the dungeon. Once the Princess realized where he was heading she struggled even hard to get away, but it was useless. He chuckled at her measly attempts to escape as he headed down the steps.
