I'm glad to hear that. XD I probably could have stressed some of the important aspects better, but I really didn't know how to without making the caption too long.
The interesting part about many of the old tales is that the promises should have been easy to keep, to simply not raise a hand against the wife (a faery), not to look at a certain time of the day, go to a certain place, or not to watch when they are doing something. Humans by far get the better end of the deal, by our perceptions, yet we still manage to mess it up. And in most cases broken promises only result in losing the fae's services instead of a punishment, though I guess that's punishment enough, considering what they could do to provide good fortunes.
But, yeah, I wanted one of the morbid stories, though this one I wanted to be a bit beyond the usual twist. The hardest part was probably wording the fortuneteller's words so it'd fit with everything.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned because only women can give two tits for every tat.
