Princesses and princes have their own tales. So do witches and hags. But who cares about the peasant the hero passes day after day? Who opens the shops and gives helpful tips, who digs the trenches and builds the walls?

Most great heros were these people. But some stay the same way in books and memory forever. Their is a legend of one of said people. This person appears in every story, seen or not. Sitting quietly or giving the hero a sword or bread.

Or maybe just.... forgoten. Because when it comes to stories, things can be forgotten. People taken out. Accidentally is for you to decide.
But this person has one form that they prefer. It is a simple boy with raggy clothes. The age

doesn't matter to it. Let's call "it" the Shifter. The reason not many fairy tales are made today is because the Shifter went away. The reason is likely too many stubborn heros. Maybe it was too many stupid authors. The problem was, he got mad.

They say he fled the world and went to the galaxy. The gods were so made at him for leaving that they lit up the moon to try to fry him if he was hiding there. But what it really did was frighten the Shifter. It shifted into a giant beast to destory the

Golden Moon, as it was called in those days. It devoured the Golden Moon and turned it silvery. From then on, stories got more serious and the moon got more and more grey. The reason there are stages to the moon is because

every year the gods go up to the Shifter and hit him. With books. The Shifter has been said to be allergic to paper and leather and ink and traces of feathers. It is ironic because of how often he is recorded. But maybe a bit of iron to goes with silver.

Shiny Coal
They say coal is worthless. They say diamonds are more useful and gold is more bling. That coal is just dusty and can't make good rings. That iron and emerald can help feed the house. That coal

should be left to poisoin the mouse. Maybe coal can be useless, unless you use it right. One little boy, learned it on a faithful night. He was sitting under a silvery moon, twiddling his thumbs as he was told to do. He was cold and small

and owned nothing at all. But he had a pile of coal. His father said to sell this stack was his goal. To warm himself up, the boy got wood for a fire. But he couldn't do it, for he started to tire. But then he had the craziest thought. To burn the coal
Page 13 of 24
to warm himself tonight. He dragged a lump to his burning furnace. He threw in a few, and to his surprise, everything worked, as consistent as sunrise. But then the boy had the best thinking process. Instead of burning wood and making a mess, people could

use coal to warm themselves in winter, to burn hot water for the most piercing of splinters. To last a whole winters night, or a freezy battle or losing fight. It would be the best thing to do. All he had to do was sell some coal.
That was his goal.
