Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zack smiled at how into it she was. "Just like all other knight's he had a large horse. A large white one. He saddled up onto it. Then he patted the horse into action. It neighed a 'You know she's not real. No girl is perfect,' being that it was a talking white horse. He didn't agree and he spoke up, 'No, I believe she'll be there. I know she'll be perfect. I just hope she accepts me,' he replied. The horse chuckled, 'If you save her life she really doesn't have a choice, does she?' he asked sarcastically. Him and the horse usually had little debates. It's how he would keep himself entertained at his own little castle," he got onto his knees, "Meanwhile, the girl was talking to her dragon. See, long ago, when the story was created, it was true. The girl had a dragon that kept her locked up. But the dragon didn't do it by choice, it did it because of the princess' evil father. He was powerful and darker than the cloudiest midnight sky. He could overpower the dragon with his pinky alone. He was one of great power. The princess hated her father and the dragon feared him. They were best friend's though. So they would often talk when the princess was bored. And she got bored often. Her father had left her no toys, no weapons, no anything. She had merely a cot to sleep on. Her father didn't want her to kill herself, he had too much need for her. He was using her to entice and kill all knights, all princes. For she was as beautiful as he was dark. And many knights died by the dragons mouth and claws because of it's fear against the father's wrath," he said, taking another short pause to breathe.

((I'll post again later. Again, got stuff to do. You may react and post a post of how she feels about the 'father' in this story if you'd like))

Zack chuckled at her addition. "Well, as we all know, time is man's worst enemy, and as powerful as he was, he placed a lifeless, ageless beauty on the girl, which gave her infinite life. But he had forgotten to do the same to himself. He died of over exertion when he was using his magic to kill an old female dwarf. He loved to torture those that were small and weak. When he didn't return for months, the dragon and girl knew it was over. He was dead! But one thing is lifeless without any spell. Fear. And man hath nothing to fear, but fear itself. The young girl feared her powerful father so much, as well did the dragon, that they did not leave there places. There jobs. They feared his return if they left. He would ransack cities to find them, killing millions to find them. They wanted none to die that didn't have to. Now, As I was saying. The girl was speaking to the dragon, 'Do you think a man will ever be able to defeat you. Or figure out the riddle on which we are locked in place from?' she asked. The dragon sighed and shook it's head, 'I fear if it has not happened in a thousand years. It shall not happen anytime soon,' the dragon spoke. Those two were best friends, always had been. And if you're wondering about the riddle. It was etched in the dragon's back. In order for a man to save the princess, he either had to kill the dragon and answer the riddle, or somehow look at the dragon's back and answer the riddle. The riddle went like this, 'Four men sat down to play. They played all night till break of day. They played for gold and not for fun. With separate scores for everyone. When they had come to square accounts. They all had made quite fair amounts. Can you the paradox explain. If no one lost, how all could gain?'. Many had tried to answer by sliding over the back of the dragon, reading it, and responding. Many had tried to sneak up on the dragon while it was sleeping. All had answered incorrectly. And when answered incorrectly, the riddle kills you," he said looking deep into her eyes. Now he could make it interactive later.

((Try to answer the riddle without search engines. It's actually quite funny))

Zack continued. "Back with the hero of our story, the horse and owner on the horse, ran through the hills and mountains. He wanted to get to the girl, the princess. When they finally arrived, they saw it, in the middle of the forest that they ran into. A large castle. Dark, stone, skinny. The usual rapunzel story castle," he explained. "She sat up there. Her brown wavy hair flowing softly in the breeze as she looked out her window. All the prince could think was, 'How beautiful can one girl be?' as her hazel eyes shined in the light. Her nature-like beauty being perfection. Flawless skin, entrancing eyes, and even a deadly brilliant smile. Just as the father had burned onto her with his spell now 300 years ago. He looked up to her and then saw the resting dragon of green, emerald color. He saw it as a foe, for that is how it made it sound from storybook of old. He readied his sword to charge towards what was unknowingly the princess' best friend," he said, getting closer and closer to the climax.



((Haha. Alright.))

Zack chuckled at her comment and then continued, "The Prince hopped off his stead to stealthily go and defeat the dragon. For as brave as some princes were, this one had a brain and was not going to wake the dragon up just to be eaten and killed from being cocky. He walked steadily toward the dragon. Now see, here's where it gets fun. The dragon wasn't asleep. She was merely resting her eyes. She heard the horse and the prince and she knew why they were there. She, however, couldn't tell them the password or riddle herself. So she rolled over to reveal the riddle, carved into her very flesh. The dark father had removed the scales of that one little spot and seared it into her flesh. The prince stopped, frozen as the beast rolled over. The he saw it. The words of the riddle. He read through them. Interestingly and coincidentaly enough, he was great at riddles. He didn't know why, but he felt a bizzarre impulsive decision be made in his head that he would solve the riddle first. He thought for a couple seconds, knowing it couldn't be a real game, riddles weren't that easy. 'Everyone gets a score,' he whispered to himself. 'Sat down to play', he again quoted quietly. 'They each got paid,' he said finally. 'Hmmmm....could it really be?' he asked himself as he thought of an answer. 'All the men were musicians,' he answered the riddle finally. The ground rumbled, The dragon smiled to herself. He'd done it, he'd finished the riddle. Now they'd all be saved. The tower sowly sunk into the earth, leaving the window close to the ground. The window opened p to a door, enlaring mystically. The dragon spoke up. 'You did it. You saved the princess,' it said as the hero jumped in fright. The beautiful princess ran over to him and hugged him. 'I knew somebody would save me. Took your dear sweet time though,' the princess thanked and then complained. The horse laughed at all the attention the prince was getting. 'Got more than you bargained for?' he asked sarcastically. The dragon looked to the horse. 'Come now. He isn't the only one who'll be getting attention,' she said as she slowly crawled to him. The dragon kissed the horse gently on the cheek. 'Aww come on. Your gonna make me blush,' he stated jokingly again.

((haha, wow. That's funny. I didn't look at it that way.))
Zack laughed a little. "They do what all good couples do. Live happily ever after," he said before kissing her gently.

((Your turn to have long posts... smile ))

"Wow," Zack said, trying to envision the old her. It was kinda hard. She was so... unhuman. He liked it about her though. Humans were usually weak, ignorant, and oblivious.

Zack chuckled slightly. "Must've been a very talkative friend," he joked, wondering how an english speaking human and a monkey could talk.
