Fantasy Short Story: The Shield Dome

We build too many walls and not enough bridges. – Isaac Newton

It is a fantasy short story about the magical shield doom which is stronger than the wall.

A sorcerer really loved his village and its villagers. He built magical shield dome with his magic to protect his village. Outsiders could not enter the village.

Fishes, birds, and other animals from outside could not enter the village. Fishermen and hunters from the village missed the opportunity to get foods. No product came to the village’s market because merchants from another village could not enter.

The doom overprotected the village. Even if the village was not far from another, it became isolated village.

Shield Doom Fantasy Short Story Isaac Newton Quotes

The Head of Village saw what happened to his village. Then, he said to Sorcerer, “The shield doom overprotects us. It’s more overprotective than too many walls. It blocks the opportunity. We need to build enough bridge for opportunity. We need to build good relationship with other people and creature.”
