Once upon a time in a land of peace, there 

was a kingdom called Ponderosa Castle.   It 

was ruled by a beautiful princess named 

Tsubaki.   She was a nice, fair princess whom 

everyone admired.   Every day she would walk 

through streets and greet everyone.   She never 

needed a guard because nothing bad ever happened in 

Ponderosa.

One day, however, she was walking near the edge of 

the village.   All of a sudden a monster came out of 

nowhere and grabbed Tsubaki.   She screamed and 

tried to get away.   But the monster was strong and 

no one was around at the time.   Then, a young villiger 

named Shang walked by and saw what was happening.  

He picked up a sword that he had found in a barrel 

nearby.   He fought the monster and won easily.   He 

then went to where the monster had tied the princess.

He set his sword down and untied Tsubaki.   He then 

escorted her to the captain of the castle guard.  

Tsubaki   explained what had happened.   Shang 

received a gold medal.   The princess also made him the 

guard that walked with her in the village every day.  

The princess was very cautious from then on out.

Two years went by and everything was peaceful.  

Tsubaki was sitting on her throne and Shang was 

standing beside her in the throne room.   All of a 

sudden a dragon bursts through the wall.   The 

soldiers tried to beat him but they didn't stand a 

chance.   He started walking toward the princess.  

Shang pulled out his sword and readied himself in a 

fighting stance.   He stared into the dragon's eyes.   He 

ran at the dragon but missed.   The dragon quickly 

pulled a counter-attack but Shang blocked it right at the 

last second.

The dragon then slung his fist toward Shang.   Shang 

quickly moved out of the way but then was hit by the 

dragon's huge spiky tail.   Shang was slammed against 

the wall and fell onto the floor unconscious.   The 

dragon turned back to the princess.   He grabbed her in 

his hand, jumped out of the hole in the wall he had 

made, and flew away with the princess calling for help.

Shang woke up with his vision blurred a little.   He 

had a bit of a headache.   Just then the captain of the 

castle guard walked in the room.   He was carrying a 

tray of food.   He sat down in seat beside the bed and 

handed the tray to Shang.   He told him what happened 

and that he had been unconscious for two days.   Shang 

tried to get up and get ready to leave and save the 

princess but the captain said that he had to rest.

Two days later the captain came in and told him that 

he was rested enough to go after the princess he 

gave him food, a map, a horse, and a sword.   He left 

on the journey as quickly as he could.   He searched far 

and wide and only stopped when he was low on 

supplies or needed to water his horse.   He soon found a 

clue.   It was Tsubaki's crown and horse hoof prints 

leading away from it.
