I was sitting on my throne, laughing at my jesters antics. My son Nebulous busted in, riding on a magical cloud. “What now,” I demanded. “I need more gold,” he snapped. “What for?” I asked. “Because I spent it all,” he said. “You’re a spoiled brat. You must learn to be selfless if you are to rule,” I said. “Why? When I’m king I’ll do whatever I want,” he said. “You’re grounded until you learn. Guards, escort him to his room,” I said. Before he was caught, he disappeared into the clouds. The jester laughed because he poisoned my drink.

    Screw the trend of sexy fairies in fantasy fiction. Fairies are terrifying and dysfunctional and you have captured that right here! Well done!
