Thank you so much! It’s interesting, the puck itself and the underground vault was an invention for a book that I ultimately scrapped, but I loved the idea so much I decided to resurrect it here.
I'd say that was definitely a good call. I loved how you described the puck. Solid stuff. Interestingly, it's mannerisms put me in mind of a horror movie, at least in terms of feel. Have you ever watched The Hallow?
I swear it felt like I was holding my breath in the last part. this feels like the sort of story that would have been told long ago around a fire. a folktale for sure. outstanding!
Mythical, magical, fantastical, delightful. I love a good descent into madness. The world building was top class
Thanks NJ! I too have a weakness for the “going mad with the character”-type tales.
Woooof - this has the feel of an old fairytale for sure. I love it.
Thanks so much, Keith! Someone else told me it had a fairytale vibe, I’m glad you liked it!
Lovely writing. I don’t know how you come up with the ideas for your stories but I love them. Thank you.
Thanks you so much Troy, incredibly high praise!
This is why I try not to make eye contact with anything that has horns. Totally rational precaution to take.
Well done, sir.
What if the horns have been burned down to their stumps by a prominent count seeking favor with fate? Hypothetically.
Oh! Totally different story.
Fantastic, man. Felt like tapping right into Celtic myth. Like another commenter said - something to whisper around the fire at night.

I haven’t! Would you recommend?

I would. One of my favorite creature flicks.
