First Chapter of Future Stories: Part 1

Genevieve Draconius, the first Crowned princess of Camelot. She was going to be the first ever queen. But things didn't go that way. The night she became the crowned princess she was cursed into an eternal sleep by a high priestess. No one knows why? Could be the fact that her father refused to arrange a marriage between the priestess's son and his daughter. Could be because the princess was not seen as someone worthy to be the next ruler? And so was cursed so her brother could take the throne. Guess we'll never know. But what happens when her curse is finally broken centuries later? When Merlin had the sleeping enchantment lifted from Camelot. No one could have ever known it'd wake the sleeping princess.

Genevieve's POV

I wake with a gasp. I shiver slightly as I look around me. I see what looks to have been an ice casket. The room I am in is covered in cobwebs. Like no one has been in it for decades. No, centuries. Where am I? What happened? The last thing I remember was going to meet my friend Lucius. He was a gifted warlock.

I suddenly hear a dragon roar from somewhere far below. I frown in confusion. I get out of my casket and approach the window. It's covered in a thick lair of dust. I manage to open it with a little effort. I see a dragon fly out from under the castle and start to attack the town.

Why would a dragon attack us? Is this Camelot? Dragons protected our kingdom. Why would one attack? Why was it under the castle and not in the mountains over looking Camelot? I must find my father or someone who can tell me what the hell is going on.

But when I went to the door, I discover it's locked. I bang on the door. "Hey! Is anyone there?! Release me at once!" I shout. But hear nothing but the dragon's roar and the screams of the people. I can't stay here, I must do something to help the people. It's my duty as the princess.

"Let me out!" I scream in frustration. I look around the room, praying there is something I can use to free myself of this room. I say a rack and grab it. I use it to ram the door. It took a few tries and I no doubt have a bruise where I anchors the rack on my shoulder. But the doors finally gave way. Only I didn't expect there to be a staircase on the other side.

I roll down them hitting my head. I pass out as I reached the bottom. The last thing I hear are unfamiliar voices shouting and footsteps rushing over to me.

I don't know how long I was out. But when I awoke, I was in some sort of infirmary. Many surround me, all injured. I groan as an elderly man appears. "How do you feel?" he asks.

"Head hurts, but I'm fine" I assure him. "Who are you?" I ask.

"Gaius, the court physician and who are you my lady?" he asks.

"Genevieve, crowned princess of Camelot" I state. He looks shocked. "Where is my father King Bruta? Why is the great dragon attacking Camelot?" I ask him.

"I'm afraid you've been a sleep for a long time my lady" he tells me sadly. "King Bruta died centuries ago, I am surprised you're alive" he states.

"Why? What happened?" I ask him.

"I don't know the full story, but you were put into an eternal sleep. Your body was preserved in ice, was anyone with you when you awoke?" he asks me.

"No, I was looked in a room. I had to bust out, though I did not expect a staircase" I state. "Please tell me why the great dragon is attacking? Where are the dragon lords?" I ask him.

"It is a long story" he tells me. "The short version, the dragons were all hunted down and killed. Except the great dragon. Uther the king had the dragon lord call the great dragon and chained it up. It's been a prisoner for twenty years and somehow got free. It has been attacking Camelot" he explains.
