‘Tis often said that it is not the knight that maketh the quest, but the quest that maketh the knight. And indeed, just as practicing magick maketh a wizard clever and wise, and working the fields maketh a peasant base and disgusting, so doth questing maketh a knight courageous and bold.
This is one of the greatest short stories I've ever read. Congratulations!
This is pure gold. Everything i needed was short-form Terry Pratchett, and now i finally have it. Thank you
