Fantasy Writing Prompt

Hello. Happy Thursday!

In honor of today, we garden gnomes would like to start a new writing prompt series. Once a week we're going to drop an image we find on Pixabay based on a keyword suggested by one of our minions. This week, we decided to use a keyword of our own. The keyword is "weird."

Based on that keyword, we found the following image. Here's what you've got to do:

Resteem this post
Using the image as a prompt, write a story in the fantasy genre
Post your story to your Steemit blog
Come back here and link to your story so we can read it. When you do, suggest a word (one word please) that we can use for our next image prompt search. Don't be afraid to get outlandish with your suggestions.
Head to our Discord server and drop your link into the #spec-fic-promo channel

That pretty much it. 100% upvotes for everyone who follows the rules and posts a story. Any word count. Just make it good. Here's the prompt:
