[ WP ] You are a knight on a mission to save the princess . You find out that she is in a tower guarded by a monster . As you reach the top of the tower to face the monster , you find out quickly that it 's not what you were expecting .

`` Foul beast, prepare to meet your doom!'' I raised up my hands, preparing to strike back. This monster was n't going to get the best of me. 
 
 `` Silly knight, you've only come to lose.'' The monster chuckled. He gave me a look similar to a glare, and slammed down his fist. I felt the scaly skin practically brushing by my nose as I stared in front of my chest in dread. It was a Draw +4 Card. 
 
 `` Damn you! You'll pay for this!'' Fuming, I pick up more cards from the middle of the table. ( Which was really just a flat rock. ) I grinned. I could get back at him next turn. 
 
 `` Hey guys, I've got the drinks! Here's the Fairy Juice you wanted, Steven, and for the monster,'' teased the princess, voice full of mock fear.'' Here's your blood, freshly killed from innocents.'' 
 
 It was really just wine though. 
 
 `` Thanks,'Lise.'' `` Thank you, Elizabeth.'' The monster and I said in unison. I took a swig of the juice, and put down a wild card. I looked at Joseph's ( The monster's name ) hand, which had two cards in it left, and took a gamble. `` Red.'' I called. 
 
 Joseph frowned in mock distress, pretending to reach for a card to draw- signaling that he did n't have the right cards- and placed down a Red 8 card. `` Uno.'' He grinned, showing me a symmetrical row of pointed teeth. 
 
 I looked at my hands. *Shit! * I played myself. I did n't have any red cards. Why did I think that it was a good idea to play down a wild card that I did n't have the color for!? I sighed, and signaled my defeat. `` You know, Elizabeth, I do n't think anyone is going to be able to rescue you against this scaly *cheater*.'' I pouted. The overgrown lizard across from me collected all of the Uno cards with surprising dexterity, and put them back into the box. He said nothing, but smirked at me nevertheless. `` I win again,'' his face seemed to say. 
 
 `` Oh come on Steven, do n't be a sore loser. You've *rescued* me one out of ten times! It's probably just your luck.'' Elizabeth giggled, taking a sip of her own drink. 
 
 `` Ugh, next time we're playing Old Maid, lizard.'' 
 
 `` Any time, silly *mortal*.''
