Sorry it's short
Prince Alabaster had lived the same story almost everyday of his life. It was the one written for him since the day he was. It was a simple story. He was born a prince to King Faustus and his misstress Rosalind, but the queen was not pleased that her husband was planning on making this mistake his heir over her own daughters and so cursed Alabaster to become a dragon. He was banished to the mountains where he found a castle falling apart. He chose to make this his home assuming he would be a dragon the rest of his life. That is until he saw a young princess being offered to him as a sacrifice by the local people. Rather than eat her, he befriended her and slowly fell for her. It was through this love that he turned back into a human or close enough (he still had dragon like wings on his back) and soon went back to reclaim his kingdom proving he wasn't a mistake. That's the story he had lived for years. He wanted something different. That something different had come from a young woman that had begun reading his story over and over. He couldn't help, but stare up from the pictures to look at her beauty wishing he could get to know her better.
