To tell the story of this fair maiden we have to look at her past. This is the story of Drakiza the daughter of a king and queen in a faraway land. Her parents were smart and loved individuals. Yet her parents as wise and smart and loved they were did not make efforts of improvement for the kingdom. One day a sorcerer appeared at the door of the palace. He had a prophecy and a curse to deliver. For he was unhappy that the kingdom wasn’t more prosperous. He told the king and queen that there child would bring greatness to the kingdom. But at the cost of always seeking knowledge and power for the better of her people. Thus the king was pleased and startled by this message given to him. He did not tell his daughter Drakiza, though he did inform the queen in which they felt if we raise her right then how can the curse be so effective. Thus, that’s what they did they brought up princess Drakiza with all the love and support they could. The princess took a keen to reading and to drawing and being connected with those who were in the palace. The princess was a social butterfly but she felt an empty hole missing inside her. She sought adventure something exciting.

But her parents were always adamant in their thoughts that why go out and run into danger when we’re safe here. Drakiza loved her parents but she felt they needed their own adventure. She always wondered why was they held her back what were they afraid of. So after more years of study one night she decided as much as it would hurt her parents she needed more than what was just home. Some sort of adventure called her and she was going to find it. She snuck out one night leaving her home and looking back at the place where her family and friends were she smiled but left into the darkness. Upon leaving her lands the princess traveled finding cities far more evolved then her it made her want to learn more. A new hidden drive called her but she was afraid of this obsession too. Yet fear didn’t exclude her she pushed forward witnessing and learning all new things. One day she left a village and found a fog ridden forest. All instincts told her the answer she sought was there but she also wondered what price would she pay. The forest was wrought with danger but she wanted more as she found a small clearing she looked up a tower laid in the clearing all by itself.

“What a strange place to have a tower. I think I’ll check it out.” Drakiza said in her head and walked into the tower her crystal skin glittered with the light and she pressed on seeing military weapons as well as books in a library. A sudden thought came to mind “weapons are power” she remembered witnessing a battle from afar it had bloodshed but the result brought about a calmness of peace she remembered. “This tower may be the answer but it’s awefully gloomy.” Drakiza said suddenly realizing she felt another presence by her. She couldn’t see who it was so she called out “hello” suddenly a voice came to her “you dare trek on this tower why.” Drakiza responded “yes I dare I’m a princess in search of adventure and seek answers and this tower holds it are you the master here.” The being stepped out he was a dragon and not a happy one “only those stupid, cursed or unholy come here. If it’s answers you seek will you be willing to stay to find them. I’m a old scholar who isn’t like by the outside world for misdeeds I did would you trust me to find the answers.” Drakiza stared her parents would be begging her to come home but she wanted answers “Would you know if I was cursed?” The old dragon stared and said “if your here it’s one or the other things we can find out together.” Drakiza eyed him and decided “I seek answers and more than what I have even though I’m a princess I will stay and learn from you.”

This is when Drakiza became the old dragons pupil. At first her studies had started and she was uneasy with how straight forward the dragon was with her. The old croot she thought may have a few screws loose but the same time she felt an understanding with the way he thought out things. She saw the dragons way of teaching military tactics but she didn’t agree with directly sacrificing people. The dragon also helped Drakiza under her royal studies teaching her economics and that to have money helps the people all around. In such a short time the dragon had expanded Drakiza understanding of what it means to be royal and she craved to learn more even show her parents such new teachings. Drakiza had given up her constant contact with those she loved to stay in the tower. But the tower had taught her there’s more then peace and to keep peace you need one thing power and she was coming to embrace this understanding and would stay tell she felt she had a better understanding of herself and who she was meant to be.
Extra Information: eventually Drakiza will come to appreciate her mentor and get into her own style of ruling and come to understand how power is really used. Then hopefully she will return to her kingdom and find love and stability possible a cure to her curse.

Olenna was not truly trapped. She never had been. The tower was her home just as it was her mother before her and so forth back aeons. The tower was never her prison.

It was only a prison for those who came to rescue her.

They thought her delicate and sweet, something that needed rescuing as though she was some helpless foal.

They came but they never left. She told them how grateful she was to be rescued. She wept with thanks and as they consoled her she slit their throats.

Not one had ever seen it coming.

Then she would drag their bodies to the large porcelain tub. She would lounge in their blood, letting her roses drink long and deep. It made them vibrant, happy. The blooms lasted so much longer this way.

Then when she was done, she would take the body and bury it. Each victim marked with a new bush of roses.

And so her garden grew.

Extra Information:

Not really.
