This is both funny and terrifying. On the one hand, it’s amusing that all they needed to do was entertain the Ciannait, and it’s nice to have a peaceful resolution to such a violent issue. On the other hand, they still don’t know how to kill the Ciannait, so if the court jester ever fails to entertain the creature then it will just murder him and no one will have any way to stop it.
How to Slay a Monster is one of my favorite stories because it leaves open so many possibilities. I had a lot of fun writing this, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Who knew the court jester was so important?

You are our very own Scheherazade 💜
He was a quick thinker for sure - besides what did he have to loose by trying!
Do we need to become a monster to defeat a monster?
Certainly a different twist.
Somewhat different. Very entertaining
Make a monster your friend day is catching on. 😉 Enjoyed it.
Great story, Bill. And a good metaphor for finding peace through understanding and being responsive to others.
An easy answer to life’s problems, if that was possible! 😀👍
