There was no way,
The dragon could stay.
Luring girls,
To his hideaway.
Scaly and green,
He ordered her to obey.
So she picked up a sword,
And battled him anyway.
Far from brave,
She fought this day.
She stabbed him in the heart,
And slayed a dragon…
– Right into his grave!

Who are you? Are you a brave knight? A warrior brandishing your sword, ready for battle. Are you a dreamer? Away with the fairies, losing count of fireflies whilst searching for Neverland. A goth? Who feels right at home with the monsters hiding under the bed, who loves to dance a dervish with the devil on the stroke of midnight. Or perhaps you are a dragon-slayer? Or a soul snatcher? Basking in the heat of an eternal flame. Or maybe you’re a witch? Hiding deep in the woods, practicing dark arts beneath the light of a full moon.
