Belle: I can't believe you assassinated the King!

Rumple: Well, 'assassinated' implies it was politically motivated. I killed him because he was a dick, so technically I murdered him

Belle: That's not better!

🔥 Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede (The Enchanted Forest Chronicles #1)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ /5

Meet Princess Cimorene- a princess who refuses to be proper. She is everything a princess is not supposed to be: headstrong, tomboyish, smart, and bored. So bored that she runs away to live with a dragon.

I first read this book in middle school when I found it in the media center and I devoured this book. I’ve reread it a couple times and felt it was due for another reread, especially since February’s Dragon Reading Challenge is a romantasy OR a talking dragon book and this book has lots of talking dragons.

One of the things I love about this story is how Cimorene and Alianora are such good friends. Cimorene is an unconventional princess and Alianora is a typical princess, but they bond and share a love of adventure and problem-solving. They become such great friends throughout the book and one of my favorite dynamics. I mean, of course I love the dragons. Kazul formed my young perspective of a good dragon. A dragon that speaks, listens to reason, but isn’t afraid to show her teeth.

Anyway, you should definitely pick this book up to read!

OUAT AU Season 2 - Take a look what you've done

Setting: The Enchanted Forest

Main Characters: Maleficent/Liane Felton, Charming/Nikolai, Hook/Jeremy, Belladonna and Joshua

Other characters: Alice Liddell, Sleeping Beauty/Petra Summers

IB: OUAT Season 2, Bad Blood (Taylor's Version)

-------------

Once again Liane found herself in that fire room, struggling to see as the flames encircled her. It was like hell as she tried to make her way across the glass floor, looking for a door or anything. She tried throwing her own fire at it but her powers weren't working for some reason. The flames burned at her vision, her eyes starting to water in the room, the room starting to fade as she began to hear a voice.

"Don't. Move."

-------

Liane's eyes snapped open to see a dagger pointed at her face, an angry redhead holding the blade, making eye contact with her.

"Hello, Maleficent."

Liane sighed. Of course the first person she'd meet in this land would be the one person with a bone to pick.

"Princess. Pleasure as always."

"Don't even try to use your magic, this dagger will go right through your neck."

"And I thought alarms were a rude awakening."

"Whatever you have planned, we will stop it."

Liane groaned but the realisation hit her.

"Where's my daughter?"

"Your- what?"

"My daughter. Belladonna. Dark hair. Bad attitude. Doesn't smile much."

"Oh uh, I think Alice has her."

"If you lay a finger on her I swear-"

But the Princess didn't even flinch holding her dagger tighter, the blade starting to dig into her skin. Liane stood up slowly, holding up her hands in surrender. The Princess lowered her dagger a little, seeing her not fighting back.

"Good. No fire."

"Wasn't planning on it."

"Al! I got Maleficent covered!"

As the Princess led Liane away from the tree, a short young woman stepped out of the shadows, sword in hand, Bella's neck being held under the sword.

"Let go of my daughter."

"Sorry?"

"I said, let go of my daughter.." Liane growled, her eyes changing colour as she spoke.

"No fire or off with her head!" The blonde with the sword replied, holding the flat of the blade to Bella's throat. Liane calmed down, her eyes returning to normal.

"Now let go of my daughter. Joshua put the gun away, that really won't help us here."

"I beg to differ, I have a firearm, she has a butter knife."

"Joshua just put it away."

"Fine." Joshua pocketed the gun and the blonde lowered her sword from Belladonna's neck. But the redhead wasn't dropping her gaze from Liane's.

"Whatever your plans are, Maleficent, you're too late. This land is already a wasteland."

"Look I do have a name yknow? Petra, I know you're pissed I cursed you but that was...years ago! I was a dumb teenager then!"

"Hardly."

"Okay fine it was my early twenties but still!"

"Why are you here?"

"We were trying to banish something called a Balance Knight that came after Alexander and got sucked into the portal with it."

The blonde put away her sword, her eyes widening.

"You brought the Balance Knight to the forest?"

"Sorry but who are you?"

"I'm Alice Liddell. Slayer of the Jabberwock, Protector of Wonderland."

"Wonderland? You know my husband, Ethan, The Ace of Hearts?"

"You married The Ace of Hearts? He was sent to kill you!"

"Yeah about that-"

"Can you tell your daughter to stop staring at me? She's got a very Cheshire stare."

Liane looked over at Belladonna who had her gaze fixed on Alice. She knew that look. She'd seen that look when Bella had requested they watch Twilight. And when she'd watched Edward Scissorhands. And Sleepy Hollow. She sighed.

"Bella honey you're staring."

"Right, sorry Miss Alice ma'am, uh I've just never met someone like you before."

"From Wonderland?"

"Sure."

Petra rolled her eyes. Clearly she was tired of this sidetracked conversation and wanted answers. And moony eyed Alice was not helping her situation.

"Alice! Focus. So you admit you brought the Balance Knight here?"

"Yes. Like we said."

"So you intentionally killed my future wife?"

"Wait what?"

"The Princess of Sunlight?"

"Oh I remember her. No! Of course not, we didn't even know the forest was still here.."

Liane continued, yawning hard. Petra backed off just slightly after hearing that, slightly less threatened by the former Bad Fairy. But she still had questions.

"Where are your horns?"

"Oh uh I still have them I just, they don't really fit in the world we've been stuck in for 28 years."

"And you're still wingless?"

"Thanks for that. Yeah I am. But if I know my husband he'll have stolen them back from Alexander by now."

The two assailants started lowering their defences as they received explanations just as Nikolai and Jeremy returned to the camp. They were just as baffled as Alice and Petra but the Princess seemed to recognise Nik at the very least.

"Your Highness, I didn't know you were here."

"Petra? Oh my God, have you been stuck here?"

"We were trapped here frozen until this past few weeks. I was found by Alice and Ethel when the curse was lifted. But it turns out the land wasn't destroyed by magic. But by ogres."

Nikolai tensed at that name. He'd heard stories about The Ogre Wars his father had taken part in. They had been ugly and brutal, tearing away innocent lives in their time. Knowing that despite the efforts of his family, they had returned brought him no comfort. Liane looked uncomfortable too.

"The ogres returned?"

"With a vengeance. We've been trying to find people who were trapped during the curse to no avail. Many of them must have followed you to the other land."

"True. Alex wanted to hurt people associated with myself and he left no stone unturned."

"The Dark Prince is in your world."

"Aye, but he's a mayor over there."

Jeremy chimed in, inspecting his hook.

"But we're still forgetting something rather bloody important I feel. How do we get home?"

Alice's eyes lit up.

"Oh! I had a friend who had a magical hat that could transport you anywhere! We could-"

"See darling that's how we got here. And that hat is now useless given the power it took to open the portal."

"Oh. Right."

"What about magic beans?" Liane queried, remembering what she'd heard from Ethan about travelling between worlds.

"Well they say its impossible to find them in these times, but I think of at least six impossible things before breakfast to decide they are possible. But we may want to keep moving, those ogres may have already heard us."

There was suddenly a tremendous thudding sound on the ground as heavy footsteps approached the camp ground. There was fear in Petra and Alice's eyes as they knew the sound well. Ogres had indeed heard them. The trees were trampled around them as they started to close in. Nikokai didn't hesitate, pulling a sword and belt from one of the corpses.

"RUN!"

The group ran for their lives away from the camp ground, Liane shot them with her fire to try and stop them in their tracks but only got one down as they escaped. Then she saw Petra's bow on her back.

"Nock an arrow, I have an idea!"

"What?"

"Do it!" Petra did as she was told and as she pulled the bow back, Liane lit the arrowhead on fire, sending the flaming arrow into the ogres eye as they managed to get the two in pursuit down, hopefully dead.

"Good thinking."

"Thanks."

The group looked around, seeing they were no longer surrounded by ogres and needed a new place to hide out. Nikolai was the first to speak up.

"I think I know somewhere we can hide. My old house should still be here in the forest. We can stay there if its not been destroyed."

"And how do you know it hasn't been?"

"I don't. But a little bit of faith might mean it is."

With no other options the group followed Nikolai through the trees until they came across a beautiful cottage that was still perfectly intact, and still looked like someone was living there. Very much so. Especially since there was steam coming out of the chimney. Nikolai drew his sword and Joshua held his gun tightly, unsure what his father was thinking. The group approached the house tentatively and opened the door to see a woman with blonde curls sat at the table, stuffing bread into her mouth, dressed in armour.

"I can explain-"

"Michelle?"

"Nicholas?"
