Very "Grimmesque"! :)

Ah, and I owe the Brothers Grimm much for my tales as well. I can see the influence in this story, but usually everyone gets what they deserve. The black king would be murder in a proper but messy way, and the Brennus would be the new king. Still, there is the good turns of the child towards the animals, and that is the character of fairy tales indeed.

I love the surrounding story in this as well. Brennus, who I sume to be the stranger, who enters the tavern and tells this story, has a great entrance, and much of his way reminds me of my character Alteng.
