“It wasn’t like this in the stories. In the old tales, when a young man went forth to have adventures, he endured his trials and came forth triumphant.

There was never any question, not even in the darkest moment, that the hero would conquer both his enemies and his self-doubt. Perhaps that was why I had been angry with Simon, because I wanted the ending of his story to be the good one he deserved.” HeroHeroesFairytalesHappy EndingFolktalesDaughter Of The Forest Book:Daughter of the Forest Source: Daughter of the Forest
