It's a good question, and one that has crossed my mind. Initially, I think I was mostly going for a folk tale about how this prophesy allowed the butcher to indulge his bad behavior because he thought he had some control over fate, only to learn that fate can find clever ways still get justice in the end. All of this is stuff that I could probably do a better job of reinforcing and highlighting through the text.
No I really like it. That came through! I was curious if you were also trying to show why, from the role of the archer, should keep ourselves ready for when the wolf knocks at our door.
I really liked the tone of this story. Dark and gloomy. Reminds me of Grimms Fairy Tales.
Thank you! I was definitely in the mood to do something in the fairy tale/folklore/fable ballpark•
It worked! My question for you out of curiosity is what’s the lesson within this story? You’ve made me want to try and write a fairy tale

I like that one! Maybe this story is full of lessons•
All I can say is...WOW!
I’m glad it worked for you! It was fun to try a folk tale type of story.
