The Princess Who Saved Herself

She lived her whole life not realizing that the only rescuing she needed was from the approval of others.

She was a human being born with an extraordinary gift that she didn't know how to use. The King and Queen seemed to be the only people who understood how to tame it, so for her own safety, locked her in a tower, from a young age. From the minute she was born, no one seemed to understand her potential for destruction but her parents. She was born with a deep magic that could divide and conquer kingdoms, at her command.

She loved the security of that tower as a young child. But it started to feel more and more like a restraint than a protection the older she got.

One night, on her 21st birthday, she began to feel the build-up...

A pressure....

That years of restraint could only cause....

She snapped.

She stared out the window.

It was an oblique and foggy night. The dragons who stood guard lay there, asleep.

When... suddenly...

A seemingly magnetic force inside of her... threw her across the room.

A fiery energy flowed out of her hands, radiating off of her entire body.

This would be the day she finally breaks free...

Of the person that the entire kingdom told her to be.
