THE PRINCESS AND THE DRAGON: INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------------------

NARRATOR: Once upon a time in a far away kingdom, a young prince reigned with a gentle heart. He was kind, nurturing, and loving. One day, a knight brought news of an evil wizard who was terrorizing the village. The prince, knowing he had to stop the wizard, rushed out of the castle with sword in hand. When he tried to slay the wizard, he was blasted by a gust of magic. He felt an odd change within him as the wizard warned him to go back inside. The prince did as he was told, slowly changing shape. He fell in the main hall, becoming, to everyone's surprise, a monstrous dragon. Everyone within the castle escaped, fearing the prince's form. Ashamed of his ugliness, the prince hid himself away in the depths of his castle. The wizard appeared in the prince's room and gave him a large mirror, a window to the world around him. He also placed an hourglass on the table. This was a timer, for when the last grain of sand fell to the bottom, the prince would be doomed to be a dragon for the rest of his life. "The hourglass would tick over many years," the wizard said. "Before the last grain of sand falls, you must find a maiden to love you, no matter what your status or appearance."...The years passed, and the prince grew more and more beastly, angered at himself and the world. He grew forlorn and hopeless, waiting for the day someone would come and learn to love him...
Ehhh really similar to beauty and the beast's intro but the rest of the story is different. ish. x3
