A pocketful of freedom

The dragon was old and weary. My brothers bought our father’s approval with her gems.

“Let me try,” I begged. Seven times I asked; the eighth time, he agreed.

Leaving home, though, was the dragon’s idea. A girl can live years on a ruby or two, after all.

I like that your fairy tale MC takes her future into her own hands instead of waiting for a man to save her.
