Bonjour, mon ami! Welcome to Western Germany.

You are a simple villager with quite a simple life living near the edge of a vast forest. And it's quite a quiet life too, one you enjoy. And then a ministrel comes along and trudges on all of your silence. Worse yet, he has an ego that's gone unchecked for far too long.

Image - generated using my lora PixAI.Art. I tried to get one with the fiddle in it but then he got all fudged up. No middle ground w/o having a broken fiddle and/or broken fingers lol.

P.S - The Wonderful Musician: (German. "Der wunderliche Spielmann") is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm [Jacob and Wilhelm] as tale number 8 in their Grimm's Fairy Tales [about a musician who walks through a forest, longing for a companion to listen to his music. A wolf, fox, and hare show up at the sound of his fiddle but he gets rid of them using tricks and traps. Finally, his music reaches the ears of a woodcutter who saves him from the angered animals].

P.P.S - Definitely didn't come up with the title because I was listening to the Circe saga for the tenth time today no no no.
