[Video]

[Based on the camera angle, it must be stuck up a tree or something.  Into the frame rides a handsome young man, wearing blue armor that looks something like this.  Unfortunately, the effect of his dashing handsomeness is somewhat undermined by the fact that his noble "steed" is a gigantic blue scarab.]

Greetings citizens!  I am el Príncipe

Action

[primrosella]

[Meanwhile, in the aforementioned dragon's lair, there is a Very Unhappy Princess tied to a stake and awaiting her imminent doom. The fact that it's not the first time in her life that this has happened to her only makes it that much more traumatic now; she's deathly pale and equally silent, never taking her eyes off the scaly monstrosity that's planning to devour her at any minute.]

[El Príncipe is riding up to the dragon's lair. This would be go better with a squire, but so far he doesn't have one. He peeks inside and spots the young woman trapped by the dragon. He pulls a sword literally out of the back of his steed scarab and shouts.]

Step away from her, foul dragon!

[primrosella]

[The shout startles her out of her fear-induced paralysis, and she snaps her gaze over in the direction of a shout. A rescuer? Could it be?

It's instinct that causes her to yell; even if she'd recognized the owner of that voice, the only name that comes to mind is that of her brother--the one for whom she's been pleading silently, all this time, in the hopes that he might appear out of nowhere once again to rescue her.]

"Alexander?!"

[Sam was a bit late to the party, but when he heard his princess was trapped in the castle, he had to grab a few things. Or, well, one thing, really. Rosella might need it once they got her free.

When he got there, someone was already starting the rescue, which was okay because-]

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Dragon!!!

[ooc: I was thinking Sam could grab Rosella's magic wand to give her so she could help if you want, Alex?]
