What an amazing prompt and intriguing opening to what, I hope, will inspire many people at The Ink Well to write a fantasy short story.
I'm already thinking of a possible story set in the fantasy universe where I am setting the action of my first novel (still only half written). Love writing fantasy, and I've published stories set in that universe on steem before @stormlight24, the best of them being The Gelded One.
Hopefully more people will jump on board with this prompt in the next few days as the dust settles from all the drama.
