Extra 1:
I used to run with them. I used to be one of them. Gold and glory is like hubris and horror. Always comes with a price.
I used to live like a royal, with a loving family and countless friends. We competed in fun Greek games that we learned, including my favorite: the javelin throw. Now it seems like a distant dream, long forgotten details and haunting emotions.
I find it funny, going from a castle to ruins. All because of one mistake.
All I truly remember is holding the javelin between my teeth and craning my neck back. I could feel the wind rustling and screaming my name in every gust. It was too loud. I should have waited. Throwing the javelin forward, the spear tip cut through the layers of wind, but the target seemed too far and my squinting eyes barely caught a glimpse of the direction I had thrown the javelin. Up. The spear came right back, hitting my arm. Everything was black. Then everything was gone.
To be a royal, you have to be perfect. Three legs is not the definition of perfect. I had no clue where I was, yet I felt safe here. Within the ruins of an old Greek village. Since I could barely walk, I stayed. A small, broken Colosseum allowed me to adjust to my three legs through exercise . I have grown to love the silence and solitude. Here, I am my own queen of my own kingdom.

Why Am I Stuck In This Domain, You Ask?:
"I had heard quite a bit about these graves. Visitors from all over came to see them, to learn about the history stored in the dry bones and crumbling tombs. As an avid adventurer myself, I knew I had to see them first hand. Rows and rows of skulls lined each wall, chandlers made of femurs swung above your head in such a looming manner, and yet, despite the morbidity of it all, I found it to be so peaceful and quaint. I felt at home here among the dead, even more so than I did along side the living. As I perused the cool corridors I paused, feeling an odd tension in the air. I peered around, stepping forward into the dark, only to feel my muzzle smash into a gritty rock. In shock I stumbled backwards, and only when I calmed did I hear it. A low crumble. The sounds of pebbled flying to the floor. And suddenly the whole ceiling burst open, showering my body with dirt and dust, pelting me with parts and pieces of dried bodies. I shivered, remembering that wretched day. Ever since then the whole place has been aloft with activity. Spirits and ghouls wrap themselves around the throats of anyone who enters the now cursed place, and I alone am left to save them, for I am the one that caused the distress. There are nights I I think about leaving...but my thoughts are lost to the cries of the dead..."

I really liked the cliffhanger, I'm left wanting to know what's next. Congratulations and good luck to everyone else in future comps <3
