Shapeshifting, mythology, vengeful incantations, power, and origins of goddesses. And of course, a dark forbidden forest. I guess I don’t need to tell you that I’m fascinated by these stories and have read a few recent takes of the old ones. A great ending . I hope there is more where that came from. Like a big ancient book with a weathered binder, the title faded beyond recognition. I want to find a cozy chair and settle in , with a new, old tale.

“Shapeshifting, mythology, vengeful incantations, power, and origins of goddesses.” That makes perfect sense! A “new, old tale.” It was fun chasing the “voice” for this one. Zero psychological investigation. It’s against every one of my instincts :-) Myths seem to operate and satisfy with a different toolkit. ❤️

A story like this doesn’t just tell itself—it reverberates, reshaping what we thought we knew. The moon now holds the weight of longing and loss, of desire turned to ash. I will never see her without hearing the howling in the dark, the echo of a sister’s fate. Thank you for this tale—it moves like myth, inevitable and eternal. Brother’s Grimm look out! Here comes Adam.

There is sadness here, and yet it was predictable
