Princess in Shining Armor

Dear Prince Charming,

I guess I thought after I have read all the books of sheer intelligence (and utter boringness) while locked up in my tower, I thought I'd be content waiting here for your rescue. At least temporarily, I'd find a way to settle into my tower, to relax, to enjoy the life that I have meticulously placed before me. I could look at the million piece puzzle in front of me that is nearly finished and sigh with relief with a lemonade in my hand, just waiting for the next piece to get wisked into place. Letting the pieces fall together for me.

But I guess I never agreed with the card I was dealt. And the one thing that I have going for me is I could never be a good Damsel in Distress. I can't sit around twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the life I want you to create for me. Not when I could be creating it. I want to search out those missing pieces, slay my dragon and reach you, my prince charming. I don't want to sit around and wait for life to happen to me when I can happen to life.

That's where this letter comes in. I am finding a way to drive myself to the brink of possibilities for a chance at happiness. I can't sit here and wait any longer! I want to overturn every rock of information, I want to search every valley for resources, and I want to scour every mountaintop of opportunity. But I won't give up until I am no longer empty handed.

Maybe its my sheer arrogance but I am more than capable of reaching what I want.


And I know I am. With or without your help.

Part of that is the problem I think. Although I know I could slay the dragon in front of us, I also know it will take every ounce of strength I have. I will do it, because I can do it. I will find those puzzle pieces and continue to write my story how I feel it should go, instead of waiting for you to fill in the gaps. And don't you worry about me, Princey, I know I may look weak and fragile but I have a few more tricks up my sleeves than you give me credit for.

So I am off to hunt the dragon that Eternity has placed before us. I know my pigeon will find you well after I start my own journey but I also know that you may want to get on your own. Because as I sit here pondering my next strategy, I think about you.

Mr Prince Charming, the hero of the story, if you are supposed to be the hero than why am I writing you a way out? Why do I take on the dragon and leave you as distressed as you wanted me? Why do you get to sit and twiddle your thumbs if I am even refusing to?

I don't like that story much more than I like the one that was written out for me. I couldn't handle a Prince who didn't want to fight for the Damsel, could I? I think not. And since there is one dragon for us to face instead of two. I challenge you to take me on as an ally.

Wouldn't it be easier on both of us if we slayed the dragon together? If we tag-teamed and faced the monster in front of us as though it was a test of our partnership more than our lack of freedom?

I will meet you at the dragon in Eternity, when we are both ready for that love-stricken moment with both of us possessing our own power and our pact. Find the Arrows of Diligence in the Forest of Limitation, Charming. I will be taking out the Terrorizing Witch with my Sword of Valor. Let's slay this dragon and become the team Eternity needs.

Sincerely,
Your Partnering Princess
