Protagonist Bound

I was going to be a great protagonist. At least, that's what my mom Cinderella kept telling me. I, however, had my doubts. Unlike most main characters at Lady Agnue's School for Princesses & Other Female Protagonists, I was opinionated, bold, and headstrong.

Moreover, for a princess, I had a lot of issues. I'm talking about vicious nightmares of people I've never met, a total stalker prince, and a fairy godmother for an enemy. But I digress. Because, here's the thing about living in an enchanted realm of fairy-tale characters: Crazy junk you never planned on happens all the time. One minute you could be practicing fainting exercises in damsels in distress class, sword fighting in a field, or flying on a Pegasus, and the next, bam! Your book has begun. You're saddled with a prophecy that changes everything.

I still don't know if I will be a great protagonist one day. But I know one thing about my fate, for certain. Despite what the author and the antagonists have in store for me, whatever it costs, I'll be the one taking charge of my own story.
