Damsel and Dragon

The dragon's brief confusion allowed the woman to slide down the horn and straddle the dragon's neck. The now furious beast struggled out in vain to shake her off, going so far to slam it's own neck against trees. This did more damage to the trees and it's own neck in the process. Eventually the beast knocked enough scales off it's neck to create a weak point in it's natural armor across it's neck. The woman saw her chance. She ripped a slit down the side of the bottom of her dress, revealing one of her legs and the long, wicked blade strapped to it. The woman took her knife and slid it across the dragon's exposed neck flesh. Thick, silvery liquid poured forth from the    beasts neck. The woman leaped off the dragon and watched as it staggered around until it collapsed onto the ground. The woman grinned at a monster well slain and followed the beast's trail back to it's cave. Not far inside she found an excessively large pile of treasure, which she proceeded to climb.

A young man in armor entered the cave to find a beautiful, young woman wearing a tattered gown sitting resting atop a pile of riches. She was flipping one of the many gold coins from the pile when she noticed the young man enter,

"Ah, Sir Teryin. It's been a while." she said as she gave him a warm smile.

"Not since the last dragon, I believe, Princess Arin."

"Did my parents send you to bring me back to the castle?"

"Yes they are quite worried about you."

"Aren't they always?"she asked as she slid down the pile of gold and jewels and gave him a devious grin. "Well, we better be off then, don't want them to worry too much." 

"Why do you do this?"

"A princess's duty is to her people, and you are the only ones willing to fight a dragon any more."
