Welcome back to Walking Dread, your daily dose of spooky tales! 🎙️

Settle in, dear listeners, because tonight, we're talking about a king who REALLY messed with the wrong bard! This arrogant ruler, King Roderick, thought he could command a song of praise, but the bard wasn't having it. The result? A curse so potent it could rewrite destiny! 💥

This bard's voice, once known for its beauty, became an instrument of doom, a haunting echo of Roderick's tyranny and the kingdom's impending collapse. 😨 Every verse the bard sang became reality, from suffering and rebellion to a fiery demise. Roderick, in a panic, tried to silence the song, even turning to dark magic. But instead of breaking the curse, he became part of it! Talk about a backfire! 🔥

Now, Roderick's reign of terror is the chorus of this never-ending song of ruin. His screams are lost in the bard's lament, a chilling reminder that messing with artistic freedom has serious consequences. 💀 Imagine a kingdom frozen in time, forever haunted by this cursed melody. The palace crumbling, the city in ruins, and this ragged bard, still singing his sorrowful tune. 🚶 Some say it's a lament for the past, others say it's a chilling prophecy. One thing's for sure: this is one concert you don't want to miss! 🎧
