Since this doesn\'t have a WMG, I\'m gonna post this here: what if Don Quixote was actually a giant-fighter and the greatest knight that Spain ever saw? He was brilliant, brave, and victorious in his battles against the giant scourge and the dark wizard Friston. However, in his final battle with his archnemesis, the sorcerer knocked Quixote unconscious and cast a spell that left him bewildered when he awoke. He was in his bed and asked his niece (Friston in disguise) what happened. The knight errant was tricked into believing that his adventures were all a hallucination conjured by reading too many chivalry stories. This is the same story his biographers heard, including Miguel Cervantes, the one who compounded the tales of his “follies” (in the book, it says that numerous people had some of his stories and Cervantes put them all in two volumes, sort of in-universe [[AuthorDistillation Author Distillation]] that made it worse). Eventually, all of Spain, even Lady Dulcinea’s former kingdom, and the rest of the world came to believe the falsified account. However, in trying to make a mockery out of and eliminate a hero, Friston in fact may have strengthened Quixote\'s reputation by inspiring readers the world over with his admirable intentions. Any thoughts?
