Parable of the Seer | Medieval Fantasy Sleep Story
About this episode
A gifted healer uses their prophetic abilities to uncover a solution to a blight threatening their village and kingdom.
Hone your prophetic voice in tonight’s medieval fantasy bedtime story. In tonight’s story, you are a gifted healer and practitioner of natural magic; you have recently entered the service of the regent of the Kingdom of Brenindor, and you work alongside his trusted mage. In the time since you arrived in the capital, you’ve honed your skill at peering through time – and with the help of the mage and your travel companions, you hope to uncover the secret to healing a blight in your home village, which may be spreading across the entire kingdom. As you dive through visions of the past and present, you eventually channel a prophecy: one that may change the course of your life, and every life in the kingdom. This story lives in the same world as other installments of Sleep & Sorcery, such as the Dragon Rider, Tales by the Tavern Fire, The King’s Mage, and the Enchanted Amulet. You don’t need to have heard the other installments to enjoy this story, but you may recognize some of the threads woven throughout. If you want to catch up on all the stories from this sleep, enchanted world, look for my compilations of “medieval fantasy sleep stories” and “Tales from Brenindor.”
