Serilda was blessed by the god of Stories, making her good at storytelling, but also making it so people are always suspicious of her tales. One of her tales reaches the evil Erkling's ears, and he believes she can spin straw into gold. He captures her, brings her to his castle, and tells her to do so or she will die, along with her family. Can a helpful spirit help her live? This story is dark in terms of violence, much like traditional fairy tales. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, and I want to see what happens next!
