The fire in her eyes

Sparrow shut his eyes, bracing for the claws of the dragon that found him trying to escape... But was instead greeted by the sound of clashing metal.

- What are you doing, Hood? Do you want to die this much?

That voice

Instead of her usual white and lilac tutu, Duchess was now wearing a full padded armor in purple hues, complete with hip armor that resembled the body of a swan. In her hand was a rapier so thin it looked like a needle, but strong enough to fend off the claws of the dragon.

In a swift move, Duchess parried the dragon's attack, and stabbed it in the paw.

- We need to move. If there's one, there's a dozen...or so said Faybelle.

Sparrow was, in few words, shocked. The annoying, bossy, selfish princess was fighting, sword in hand. Nonetheless, he stood up and began following Duchess.

- So...why save me? Don't you have a happy ending to chase or something?

Duchess stopped dead in her tracks. But when Sparrow faced her, she was not pissed off as usual, but slightly grinning. And her eyes...they looked like embers, burning bright with a confidence and power that would send shivers through anyone fool enough to stand in her way.

- That's why I need you...

Sparrow's eyes went wide at her words.

- You promised to help me get my own Happily Ever After, and I intend to see you fulfill that promise - Duchess continued her fast pacing -. No way this or any Evil Queen is going to keep me from MY Happy Ending...

Sparrow sighed, and ran after Duchess.

Actually, it kinda sounded nice. The "I need you" part, that is...
