365 Days of Drabbles: Day One Hundred-Twenty Five

For colliemommie "I want more [Dragon Mom] as well!"

"So you're not enslaving me?" Miriam asked, touching the glowing runes around her neck.

"No, dear," the dragon repeated. "We don't do that sort of thing. We catch princesses left out for us, then take care of them until a handsome knight comes along that's willing to duel for them, or collect a chest of gold for their safe return."

"What about me? I'm not a princess, and I don't have a handsome knight or a rich father to rescue me."

The dragon... smiled. "Oh, my dear. You're going to be something very special. You're going to be a Hero."

She's going to rescue knights and princes who've gotten themselves into trouble?

Well, she'll have to start small before working up to the Evil Sorcerer.

There are lots of things she could be rescuing them from before she gets to the BIG bad.

We'll see what comes out of the next few prompts. There's another bit from the Happily Ever After portion of the story tomorrow.
