I would slay dragons for you

Seriously, don't you hate when you are watching a movie and so much bad stuff happens that you can't take much more? Instead of going straight to "Happily Ever After" there is the filler of wrapping up loose ends. So much time left - there is bound to be more bad stuff! Like when the monster is dead, but the camera keeps panning back to it, so you KNOW it isn't over! This is the part of the story where you want the happy ending to hurry up and get here before something else bad happens!...

Setting the scene;
The Hero commoner is gone (I get to be the Hero commoner, because I'm writing this).
The Princess is recovering from her ordeal (still Beautiful, as always).
In some ways the rescue didn't go as planned, but the dragon is dead and the Princess is still adored by all (no surprise here).
The Princess will forever be indebted to the Hero commoner (which is kind of cool, because they were already secretly in Love).
The Hero commoner rests uneasy, for he can not stop thinking, "Was the dragon really dead?".
(You see, he knew he had run it through, but neglected to cut off it's head!)
...and just like in the movies that would come long after his time, his attention keeps going back to the monster.
In his minds eye he's looking for a twitch of an eyelid, a shallow breath ...not trusting this apparent victory.
So now the Hero commoner is gone. He can not stay with his Princess if the dragon still lives.
He can not take a chance of any more harm coming to her...

This is the part of the movie where everyone wishes the dragon dead, but you just don't know for sure.
This is the part of the story where you go, "I KNEW IT! I knew there was more! NO WAY it would be THAT easy!", (Forgetting how hard it really was).
This is where I slay dragons for Kathy while she recovers... FOR REAL.

I might need help.
