The Scurfhead 💆🏻

Summary: So, there’s this king with three sons, and every year, his quince tree only grows three quinces. But—plot twist—the tree gets wrecked by a dragon. His older brothers? Total no-shows. But the youngest son, the scurfhead, is like, “bet, I’m gonna handle this,” and actually faces the dragon. After a battle, he drives the beast into a hole and finds THREE BEAUTIFUL MAIDENS in the cave.

The maidens are like, “If you slay the dragon, we’ll give you some serious swag,” but the scurfhead’s like, “I don’t need your gifts, I’m just trying to save the kingdom.” So he does, and the king’s like, “yo, you deserve my daughter’s hand.” But scurfhead? Nah, he’s not into the princess. Plot twist—he says, “Call me if you need help later,” and dips.

Then he hits up the maidens again and tells his brothers to marry the other two sisters. He’s about to marry the youngest, but guess what? His brothers betray him and leave him trapped in the cave. Scurfhead’s stuck in the underworld, but he saves a bunch of eaglets from a snake, and the mama eagle is like, “yo, you saved my babies, I’ll grant you any wish.” He wishes to get out, and the eagle’s like, “say less,” and carries him back to Earth.

Once back, scurfhead’s gotta hustle. He works as a silversmith, but when the king needs a magical spindle, scurfhead’s like, “Easy, I got this,” and it looks like his adventures aren’t over yet.

Themes:

1. Lowkey Hero Energy: Scarfhead’s the underdog who’s just vibing, saving people, and flexing on dragons like it’s nothing.

2. Betrayal and Trust: Brothers? Yeah, they’re the worst. It’s all about loyalty until the scurfhead’s brothers are like, “we’re outta here, good luck!”

3. Saving the Day: He doesn’t need the princess’s hand in marriage. He’s about the bigger picture, which is saving the kingdom and keeping it humble. 🙌

4. The Power of Good Deeds: Scurfhead’s got good karma, and it pays off—saved a nest of eaglets? Yep, he gets magic wish vibes in return.

5. Not All That Glitters is Gold: Scarfhead’s looking for a way out, but he’s also learning that sometimes the real reward is doing the right thing—not all the shiny stuff that comes with it.

6. Adventure Never Stops: He might be out of the cave, but scurfhead’s got a long road ahead—making magical spindles and whatnot, proving the adventure’s always lit.

That’s the vibe—straight-up fantasy with some wild twists and a lot of real ones getting played. 👑✨
