My Hook!.

Well this isn't very good, but I sent it into the contest anyway. This is what a hook is, my darling brunette. Well this is my hook.


Rachel Christensen, professional Damsel in Distress, has dedicated her life to the training of heroes through the art of self endangerment. Her first mission takes place on Alentan, a world just beginning its age of legends. Her potential hero, prince Cedric, seems destined to introduce harems to his country, Talera. He is barely interested in sword play, he leaves ruling to his Lords Council, and believes that the grass is always greener when it comes to women.
It is Rachel’s responsibility to make him a legend.

Rachel gives Cedric opportunities to rescue her, but begins to feel foolish because she would be better off saving herself. She avoids interacting with him to prove that not all women find him irresistible. Cedric is flattered by her elaborate ploy to get his attention, and is convinced of her high regard for him. He begins to pursue her. Rachel tries to lose his interest by besting him in fencing. Cedric is intrigued by her abilities and requests that she teach him. She agrees, realizing that it is the first step toward making him a hero.

Prince Cedric proves to be a capable student and good listener when he forgets his own greatness. He takes Rachel’s ideas for ruling Talera seriously. He is almost willing to give up his womanizing ways, for her. Rachel struggles with her conscience, wondering if it is right to use his attraction to her as a method for training. She cannot help but question if she is actually doing him a favor by turning him into the kind of hero that legends are made from.
The greater the hero, the greater the villain.
