Great story! Beautifully written, and very fairytale-like. Glad to see the Warrior got what he deserved, and I like that the Witch didn’t go unpunished, either.
Thanks for sharing 🙂

Oh, what a great voice. I’ve never had the fairytale voice to write stories like this. It ends up just soundy wordy and overdone. But this was perfectly balanced. What a fun story!

  Thanks so much, Katie! The voice was something I worried about not working, as it’s not how I’d normally write. But it’s how the voice in my head told the story, so that’s what I went with. 🙂

Lovely story. The simplicity of it makes it a true fairy-tale and reminiscent of Greek myths. I love stories about how the constellations came to be. My curiosity is piqued about your book if this was cut from it. Don’t make us wait too long!

  Thanks, Jasmine! I also love myths about constellations so it was a lot of fun making one of my own.
  
  So happy you’re curious about the book! Hopefully it won’t be too much longer. 🙂

I loved fairytales when I was young and this is so much like my favorites. Well done, well done!
