Bevan ThomasFlash fiction by me:"King Arthur tried to focus on what his advisors were telling him - something related to taxes or the price of grain. All the high king could think of was how much he wished he could just throw his crown away, pull on his armor, and ride off on adventures with his brother."🎨 N. C.

Bevan ThomasThe shadows crowded around the campfire as the young campers told their ghost stories and urban legends. The shadows were anxious to hear the words that would shape their forms. They wouldn't know what sort of monsters they could become until the campers told them. 🎨 Alastair Humphreys.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FairyTaleFlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FairyTaleFlash</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BookChatWeekly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BookChatWeekly</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Literature</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fiction</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FlashFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FlashFiction</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Horror</a>

Bevan ThomasMy father lay with my mother by a river. Less than a year later, she gave to him me and my twin brother. Then she left. They say she was Modron, a mother goddess our people worshipped long ago. If she was a mother goddess, why was she not a mother to me? <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FairyTaleFlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FairyTaleFlash</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BookChatWeekly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BookChatWeekly</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mythology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WelshMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WelshMythology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CelticMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CelticMythology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Folklore</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WelshFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WelshFolklore</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CelticFolklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CelticFolklore</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wales</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/KingArthur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KingArthur</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Arthurian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arthurian</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Arthuriana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arthuriana</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Literature</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fiction</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FlashFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FlashFiction</a>

In folklore, black dogs are commonly encountered late at night at intermediary places, such as bridges or crossroads. Their funktion, it seems, is to warn people against late-night rambling, drinking and card-playing.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> <a href="https://emeraldisle.ie/the-cu-sidhe" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://emeraldisle.ie/the-cu-sidhe</a> Source: <a href="https://galwaycitymuseum.ie" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://galwaycitymuseum.ie</a>

It was said that in the absence of a crucifix or holy water, which provided protection from the beast, anyone who was followed would have to outrun the dog as far as the crossroads at Lynch’s Castle – the dog could not pass the cross! Strangely, the beast is referred to as the gliomach, the Irish for `lobster, but perhaps it originally derived from the Irish word gliobach meaning `hairy`od `shaggy`.“ <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> Source: galwaycitymuseum.ie <a href="https://twitter.com/Kat_C_Writes/status/1301966621670543360?t=PygqX8SoNjS6vS0uyaBCng&s=09" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/Kat_C_Writes/status/1301966621670543360?t=PygqX8SoNjS6vS0uyaBCng&s=09</a>

Then he began to threaten the assembled host of the King for he was gripped by the furies, so Cathbad the druid cast a spell on him to make him think the waves of the ocean were attacking warriors, and he strove with them from the waxing of the moon to the waxing of the moon until he collapsed from exhaustion.` <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celtic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celtic</a> Source: <a href="https://emeraldisle.ie/cuchulainn-meets-his-son" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://emeraldisle.ie/cuchulainn-meets-his-son</a>
