Theme # 81: Depression
Breaking the Fourth Wall. Mini challenge. <3


When his sister accidentally stepped on his foot, and Ethelred blew up the tree in the garden in annoyance, he probably was not aware that he would, one day, be spoken of as Ethelred the Ever-Ready, a wizard "quick to take offense."

Though this author thinks that, even if he had known, there is a chance he would not have mended his ways. Because he was not willing to accept that he could become depressed or vexed too quickly, or that he loved snapping at others.

Ah, well. Stories are stories, and we shall let such quirky characters be.
