Legends said that deep in the dark forest, where no sunshine could reach, stood a lone castle . Inside the castle, time was no longer running. If you follow the curvy stairs heading to the top of the tower, the only place where the morning sunshine could touch, you would find the most beautiful princess on Earth, sleeping peacefully, like an angel from heaven. Place a kiss on those plump rosy lips, she would open her eyes and be yours.
Hundreds brave man, young and enthusiastic, or elder and experienced, poor or rich, low-ranked and noble, had entered the dark forest, trying to wake up the princess. But none of them returned. Rumors spreaded that there was a dragon guarding the castle. Noone had won against the dragon to get near to the princess.
One hundred years passed and the beauty was still in her deep slumber.
*******************************************
One day, aprince came. A brave, strong and handsome one. A knight in shining armour. In spite of people's warnings, he held high his sword, made way to the forgotten catsle, determined to save the poor girl from the fierce beast.
The prince didn't know how much time had passed when he reached the giant castle which stood prouldly with doors and windows closed as if to prevent people from going in. Holding the sword tighter, he stepped slowly through the only opened door. Silence greeted him. Inhaling sharply, the prince went up the huge, beautifully decorated flight of steps. He found the largest and most beautiful door at the last step. He ushed the door open slowly and was presented with the most breath-taking view ever. The room was fulled with morning sunshine and colorful flowers were every where. There, lying in the golden bed, eyes closing, brown hair caressing the smooth skin, the princess looked untroubled, peaceful, like an angel in her heaven.
But before the prince could take another steo toward the bed, dark smoke filled the room. In a blink, the smoke faded and a man, dressed in clothes of the previous century, appeared. his hand hold a sword.
"Stay away from my Hime." the man shouted angrily.
"What? Your Hime? Oh you're that dragon right? The cruel one that captured and imprisoned this poor princess. That's unacceptable. Brace yourself, I won't let you hurt her more. I'll save her." the prince shouted back.
The other's eyes burned and he suddenly threw himself at the prince, down his sword with so much force.
And the prince never returned.
He walked silently to the bed, but stopped right beside it. For one hundred years, he had never crossed that boundery. He only stood there, sad eyes locked on the pretty face.
"Hime, sorry I dirtied your room. I'll clean right now."
Of course there was no reply.
Tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry. But I won't let them touch you. I won't give you to anyone."
His mind craved to hear a voice in the wind.
"Ryo..."
