She couldn’t believe the day had arrived,
It was one they had planned, for so long;
They practiced their lines to perfection,
But completely forgot about their song.

The time came to recite their vows,
Each of them nervous, as you can guess;
One mistake, one word out of place,
And the whole thing could turn to a mess.

Taking a deep breath, and letting it out,
She was first, in proclaiming her heart;
When it came time, for him, to do the same,
Flustered, he had forgotten where to start.

Finally getting through his words, she sighed,
He smiled, as the music began to play;
That’s when they suddenly realized,
They had forgotten to practice for today.

Just at that very moment, the bells rang,
And they knew everything was okay;
He scooped her up in his arms, turned about.
And quickly, he whisked her away!

June Writing Prompt – At last, the bells rang, and he whisked her away – Day 30/30 – Wow, another month of prompts done and half the year is over!! Can’t wait to see what ~M has in store for July!

She was guarding the land, and even then, there was nothing she could do. The Amazon kept watch over the castle, sword at the ready, for intruders, who dared cross her… until that one night.

A cracking noise from the building, followed by loud flapping of wings, and she knew he was there. For too long, the dragon had slept. The hour was upon the mighty warrior. Her army, fled, leaving her alone.

Fiery evil was held back by the golden shield in Myrina’s skilled hand. The queen would have to battle the blaze, until she could battle no more.

The sun set in a fiery red against the spire of the local church. As the light reflected off the top, the sky seemed almost embarrassed by the grandeur of the tower. The sun cowered between the beams that held the spire, lifting it into the sky, allowing it to illuminate the waters down below. The town around it was silent, awaiting the resounding echoes of the bells, signaling the end of another day. But tonight, even the tower was silent. The bells no longer rang, they no longer sang. And the town folk knew, night had fallen forever more.
