Hey Elly, this was good! I'm glad you participated in the writing prompt. This definitely exhibited a ton of fantasy tropes: destiny, prophecy, chosen one, unlikely hero, damsel in distress, dragon's lair. Many of which were flipped in their own unique way such as the slave being the chosen one, the damsel in distress more or less rescuing the prince from a foreign land and being his guide/mentor, the welcoming nature of the people to a supposed outsider was also nice to read (wholesome). I'm sure I missed some that you snuck in there. Maybe others can find them and comment as well. I'll be sharing this next Saturday!
P.S. I also like that the hero was a red-head, as they seem to be getting erased from all of Hollywood's main characters lately. That's definitely flipping a modern trope! haha
THIS IS AN UTTERLY CLICHED UNORIGINAL REGURGITATION OF EVERY OVERDONE SAIILING KING NONADVENTURE ABOUT AS EXCITING AS SNAIL OFFAL. IT IS AWFUL. IF IT'S A SATIRE YOUVE DONE A COMMENDABLE JOB., UGH.
Thank you for reading my story, I’m sorry it wasn’t to your liking. I threw in lots of cliches/tropes on purpose as that was part of the prompt. It is intended to be snarky at the beginning and focuses more on character growth and development over action scenes.
I have other stories that may be more to your liking, but perhaps you should get a new keyboard first as it seems your caps lock is stuck.
