Yes! You are certainly correct, hargunanand -- courage will climb many mountains and slay many dragons! :) ;) It really was a childhood fantasy of mine from the moment I read my first fantasy fiction works at the library!! :) :) And here's an older adult's true confession: I didn't ever enjoy the Cinderella and Snow White Disney stories...in my dreams, I was always the conquering hero - the knight that saves the kingdom, the fighter pilot that flies in and blows the ship....when Star Wars came out, I was in the X-wing that blew the Death Star!! :) :) So, here's to fun and making that fun fit into 50 words! :) ;) May today be the start of a wonderful week ahead filled with more fantasies than your writer's fingers can keep up with!! :) :)

Good reveal! You set up the story and conflict well in such a tight restraint of words. We need more women to learn to slay dragons. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think it was until high school that I met female characters that were true heroines. Thanks for the wishes and keep writing!

Bravo!

Exactly 50 words, the idea/story completed, perfect editing, a great twist in the tale and all complimented by a perfect picture. An excellent idea well portrayed. I could not fault it, therefore 6 stars.

Best of luck in the contest.
