What ever happened to that little girl who lived through it all?  Grew up, and then lived through it still...again and again?  What happened to her?  She grew!  She was always taught what is right and what is wrong, but often the emphasis on what was wrong was just a smoke screen.  She was told, it was smoke from an angry dragon, but it never really was the dragon's fault.  It was just the thoughts and responses that the Queen wanted the girl to believe.  Until, one day, the Queen died, and the dragon came near the girl and showed her that it was not the creature to be feared, it was all the mixed up information that was programmed into the girls mind.  She joined forces with the dragon, and yes, they did burn down that miserable tower that had trapped her all those years.
