In a realm where the learned are held at the highest esteem, a fool is called upon to challenge a trickster. Genre: Fairy Tale Excerpt : "I visit you because I am curious." "I think it's because you want to be the first trickster who understands a fool." The trickster laughed. "My dear Sovereign, no one amuses me as you do. But I must tell you. To a trickster, everyone is a fool." The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time? Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is "Turn Again." One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them.
