James

In a distant kingdom, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, lived two princes whose destinies intertwined like threads in a carpet. One of them, James, the heir to the throne, was known for his kindness and courage. His heart yearned for freedom and love, but according to the kingdom's laws, he had to find a mate—a prince or princess—to take the throne.

Another prince, Martin, was imprisoned in a high tower guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. He was handsome, intelligent, and graceful, but he was cursed by an evil witch. By day, he was the epitome of masculine beauty, but at night, he transformed into a hideous monster, filled with anger and fear. The only thing that could break the curse was true love. "A kiss of love will restore him to his true form," the witch declared, leaving him in this sinister state.

One day, while James was strolling through the forest, he heard a legend about a captive prince and his fearsome dragon. The story touched his heart. He knew he had to help Martin, but fear of the dragon paralyzed him. However, the desire to help and find his true love was stronger.

James gathered his courage and set out for the tower. When he reached its base, he saw the dragon guarding the entrance. The enormous creature roared and spread its wings. But instead of being frightened, James remembered his purpose. He cried out, "I come not with a sword, but with love! I want to save the prince!"

The dragon paused, as if in thought. A spark of understanding flickered in his eyes. "You cannot defeat me by force," he said in a low voice. "But if you truly love the prince, then show it."

Gathering his courage, James walked closer to the dragon and said, "I'm not afraid of you. I came for love and I'm ready to face any challenge." The dragon stepped aside and pointed to the stairs leading to the tower.

James climbed the steps and soon found himself in the room where Martin was. The prince looked magnificent even in his human form, but his eyes were filled with sadness and loneliness. "Who are you?"
