Good and evil are a great deal more complex than a princess and a dragon, or a wolf and a scarlet-clad little girl. Things keep overlapping and blur, your story is part of your sister’s story is part of many other stories, and there in no telling where any of them may lead. And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. The beasts take different forms and are difficult to recognize for what they are. There are no longer simple tales with quests and beasts and happy endings. Most maidens are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves in my experience, at least the ones worth something, in any case. “There are no more battles between good and evil, no monsters to slay, no maidens in need of rescue. “Stories have changed, my dear boy,” the man in the grey suit says, his voice almost imperceptibly sad.
