The Midwife and the Lindworm

The Midwife has worked on her share of unusual births over the yearsfrom foxes to royalty to the Gods themselves. One of the stranger births she assisted was a queen who delivered twins: one a boy, the future king, and one a serpent, known as The Lindworm. Now, almost twenty years later, the queen has called upon The Midwife againthis time, to rid the castle of The Lindworm once and for all. Devouring maidens from across the land, it seems the monster's thirst for blood cannot be slaked. But the sensible Midwife has no patience for histrionic queens or fae monsters. She intends to settle this. All of it.
