This is based on a story idea I had, I think it would be fun to use for a RP. Be warned that my ideas tend to be a little... odd. Also, I seem to like cat-people a lot recently.

Isella was a young dragon. There are many different creatures that are referred to as dragons, so let me clarify that: Isella was a magic shapeshifting creature that depended on a treasure for her power. The bigger the pile of valuable objects in her home in the mountains, the stronger she became. She was ninety years old, a young adult, and had taken over the territory of another dragon who died of old age. She had a variety of shapes on her repertoire; the human shape got used most because it was practical, and the enormous winged lizard shape is the reason we call her kind dragons.

Her territory had the same borders as the human nation Razech did, and with it she also took over the contract her predecessor had with the citizens of that country. She would protect them against foreign invaders, and they would add some precious jewelry to her treasure. Unfortunately the contract stated that the jewelry was to be worn by a virgin, who was meant to be eaten by the dragon. Yeah, the old guy was kind of a jerk. Isella had tried to convince the people of Razech to remove the virgin girl part from the contract, but they wouldn?t. Being a vegetarian, Isella wasn?t happy about this.
She let the girls decide their own fate (and no, being eaten was not an option), some of them chose to stay with her as servants, others left to neighboring countries.

Isella thought being stuck with a group of girls was more trouble than a dragon deserved, so things couldn?t get worse. She found out how wrong she was some time after she caught a prince of Catgan (a country that didn?t share borders with Razech, and which was inhabited by catlike people) attempting to steal some of her treasure. In exchange for his life, he offered to bring her the Pearl of Catgan, and even offered to write a contract that Isella should put a curse on.

Macek of Catgan wrote:Macek of Catgan shall bring to the Dragon Isella the Pearl of Catgan. The Dragon Isella shall perpetually own the Pearl of Catgan thereafter. Anyone with knowledge of this contract who attempts to prevent the stated terms shall immediately die a painful death.

That looked reasonable enough when Isella cursed and signed it. Too bad the Pearl turned out not to be an actual pearl, but the crown prince of Catgan... A slave cannot become king, and the contract meant Isella would die because of her own curse if she attempted to give him his freedom.

Why did the royal family of Catgan want to get rid of its crown prince? It might be because the Pearl insisted they were really a girl. Or because Macek wanted the throne for himself. Most likely a combination of those.

There was a loophole in that contract, but one various powerful and less powerful people wouldn?t like very much...
