Threnody Speaks on Morgan
950329


The legends of Morgan are long and varied and colorful. 

I...would have liked to meet her.

She was a half-elf, half silver dragon daughter child of Remo and Miranes
Gatmirk (Miranes, who went to Lemuria). Her eyes were silver-grey, and 
they could enthrall or kill without her trying. Her hair was yellow-blonde, 
and she wore it straight and long and free. Her hair was Morgan's only
vanity, despite her Bird training and great beauty.

She was born a resident of Elidor and grew up there until adolescence.
Ironically, a dark angel student of Remo named Padrig kidnapped Morgan 
from her castle and sold her to Madame Bird to be trained and used 
as a concubine. Some say of all the women who passed through Bird keep, 
Morgan was the only adolescent who was accepted for full Bird training. 

She was assigned by Madame Bird to a mage of great power, Salt Peter, who 
is said to have usurped the first Necrodemus Emperor after creating the 
Empire's throne. But it was well before this time that Morgan la Faye and
Salt Peter first met, and in the beginning of their relationship they 
used each other's powers harshly. There was no love lost. Each tore from
the other whatever acclaim and power they could. Morgan and Salt Peter
lived in a Place of Power she granted to him, because she needed one but
didn't desire to be tied to one. Salt Peter garnered all four elemental 
powers and eventually the Ring of Fire from Morgan's help. They were a
fitting pair, each using each other mercilessly for their own personal gain.

It was not long before Morgan's fate would take her on her own path, away 
from the mage. A coven-druid or bard is said to have stolen her heart and 
when she bore the fellow's child, Salt Peter cast Morgan out of his house. 

She began seeking protections, and it was this time that she secured the 
Blue Star and the Illusionist's orb from Justin Time, both of which Morgan 
Mastered to great effect later in her life and used immediately to protect 
her child.

Sources trace Morgan's path to a small cabin in Velvet Green forest where
she raised a boy-child under the care of her great grandfather Llewellyn 
ap-Owen. Other sources say the boy-child Silverfox was raised at Elidor, 
in Castle Gorias just like his mother, and only went to the forest cabin
later.

When the Great Smith Aeol came to her and asked Morgan to help with his 
vision of weapons to deliver a Real Death from which there was no appeal
or return, she was tempted away from her peaceful family life. Despite
Llewellyn's objections, she left the child in his care and left retirement
to help make the name Morganti one of the world's terrors. For almost
five years she studied with Aeol before they made the weapons. For over
two years they forged the weapons for an invited and select few.
Soon after, Helen the Dark slew Morgan with Anglachel. Threnody shakes 
his head, Never kill anyone with a blade they gave to you. Especially 
if it was Morgan la Faye that gave it to you. This was the last time Helen 
was able to wield Anglachel in combat. 

Remo is said to have discovered the body. He unearthed living rock and carved 
her tombstone without any tools, not leaving the site until she was buried.
Salt Peter is said to have exhumed her body but was set upon by maurauders
and he lost the wu hsin he came for. Eressea and Almitra eventually 
recovered Morgan's Wu hsin from Salt Peter or Nemesis and the two women 
broke Morgan Free. She was not herself for a while, and some say she was 
severely damaged mentally from all the time she spent in the Wu hsin trying 
not to be consumed. Almitra spent years teaching Morgan to participate in
the world once again. I hear her son never visited her in all that time.

When an unrecorded danger overcame the guardians at Gorias, Almitra and
Eressea watched Morgan fly as a Dragon away from Elidor and lost track of 
her for many years. It may have been a party of Hellene Drow trying to 
finish what their queen had started with Anglachel. Forcing Morgan into 
Dragon form may have been permanently damaging to her recovering 
human psyche; a dragon is not the most humane or empathic of creatures...

Morgan next recovered the Muse and made a plane near Dolbadarn with 
Llewellyn ap-Owen. they called it Novus Mundi, or New World. When 
Severian smuggled his Morganti weapon into Novus Mundi, the two creators 
had a falling out, since Llewellyn couldn't be convinced that Morgan broke 
a promise about forbidding Real Death in Novus Mundi. 

It's rumoured that Llewellyn threw Morgan into the sea of chaos, where she 
could do nothing but preserve her own identity. It was near this time that 
the DeathGod Yama was slain and Llewellyn was reborn anew, at first level, 
and with no memories of his past, so he could not even know to rescue Morgan 
from his anger. 

This was some three decades ago. There have been some sightings of a silver 
dragon off-shore in the sea of Flux, but I've never seen it...

Threnody breaks off the tale and leaves Dolbadarn for a while, to stare 
out over the silver waves of the Sea of Chaos.

Eye's of Light with flowing hair All that passes for fair she takes her fan and throws it into the Lion's den "which or you to gain me tell would risk uncertain pains of hell?" The sailor gave atleast a try the soldier was much to wise stratagie was his strenght and not abandon...
Morgan la Faye and Salt Peter first met, and in the beginning of their relationship they used each other's powers harshly.
She had psychic defences He had Animal Dreams they moved closer together He said "Let's make a deal" Does not the law forbid it It's a treacherous act We all must suffer We all must do our part No one knows how it started And God knows how it'll end The fighting continues Women Vs Men Women have there ways Men we have ours We're into sports They're into flowers The women are talking We do not understand They speak in a language We do not comprehend No onw knows how it started And God knows how it'll end The fighting continues Women vs Men Fightin' in the parkin'lots Is this how it'll end? Armies of ladies Fightin' armies of men? So you'd better be careful should one cross your path One innocent movement And It could be your last
A coven-druid or bard is said to have stolen her heart
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the Sun in his jeolous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love for to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as the Her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me will you Be my love? Among the fields of Barley? We'll forget the sun in his Jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold
She began seeking protections,... the Blue Star and the Illusionist's orb...used immediately to protect her child.
She knows that I've been doing something wrong But she wont say anything She thinks that I was with my friends yesterday But she wont mind me lying mhmmm 'cause Mother stands for comfort Mother hide the murderer It breaks the cage, fear escape an take possesion Just like the crowd rioting inside Make me do this, make me do that, make me do this Make me do that -- Am I the cat that takes the bird?? To her the hunted, not the hunter. Mother stands for comfort Mother will hide the murderer Mother hides the madman Mother will stay Mum
When the Great Smith Aeol came to her and asked Morgan to help with his vision of weapons to deliver a Real Death from which there was no appealor return, she was tempted away from her peaceful family life
Among twenty snowy mountains the only thing moving Was the eye of a blackbird I was of three minds Like a tree In which there are three Blackbirds The blackbird whirled in the autuumn winds It was a small part of the pantomime a man and a woman Are one A man and a woman and a blackbird Are one I do not know which to prefer The beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendoes The blackbird whistling Or just after Icicles filled the long window With barbaric glass The shadow of the bleckbird Crossed it to and fro The mood Traced in the shadow An indecipherable cause Oh thin men of Haddam Why do you imagine golden birds? Do you not see how the blackbird Walks around the feet Of the women around you? I know noble accents And lucid, inescapable rhythms: But I know, too, That the blackbird is involved In what I know When the blackbird flew out of sight It marked the edge Of one of many Circles At the site of blackbirds Flying in green light Even the bawds of euphony Would cry out sharply He rode over Connecticut In a glass coach Once, a fear pierced him In that he mistook The shadow of his equipage For blackbirds The river is moving The blackbird must be flying It was evening all afternoon It was snowing And it was going to snow The blackbird sat In the cedar-limbs
Remo is said to have found the body
Under the dog star sail Over the reefs of moonshine Under the skies of fall North, north west, the stones of Faroe Under the Arctic fire Over the seas of silence Hauling on frozen ropes For all my days remaining But would north be true? All colourts bleed to red Asleep on the ocean's bed Drifting in empty seas For all my days remaining But would north be true? Why should I? Why should I cry for you? Dark Angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining What would be true? Sometimes I see your face They stars seem to lose their place Why must I think of you? Why must I? Why should I? Why should I cry for you? Why would you want me to? And what would it mean to say, That, "I loved you in my fashion"? What would be true? Why should I? Why should I cry for you?
Salt Peter is said to have exhumed her body but was set upon by maurauders and he lost the wu hsin
{marlee laughs}
Eressea and Almitra eventually recovered Morgan's Wu hsin, and the two women broke Morgan Free
you wont burn You wont bleed -- confess to me girl Go down poor little thing blackbird wings in the water -- go down What is it child? Bless me, Bless me father for I have sinned... I question your innocence Help this blackbird there's a stone around my leg She's a which Help this blackbird there's a stone around my leg What say you good people GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY I am responcible for your actions Wake the witch! yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing good year for hunters and christmas parties and i hate and i hate and i hate elevator music the way we fight the way i'm left here silent oh these little earthquakes here we go again these little earthquakes doesn't take much to rip us into pieces we danced in the graveyard with vampires until dawn we laughed in the faces of kings never afraid to burn and i hate and i hate and i hate and i hate disintigration watching us wither black winged roses that safely change their colour i can't reach you i can't reach you give me life give me pain give me my self again give me life give me pain give me myself again give me life give me pain give me myself again...

Welcom to my life There's no turning back Even while we sleep Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure nothing ever lasts forever everybody wants to rule the world
where she could do nothing but preserve her own identity.
Like a ghost- is the curtain in the white light of the morning dancing in the morning are you there - are you there? And the shadow - like a sadness falling all across the garden dancing in the garden Are you there, are you there? Shine on, friend, goodnight Why then the darkening of the light And the leaves at my feet whisper sounds so familiar whisper so familiar - Are you there, are you there? Shine on, friend hole tight why then the darkening of the light Where the clouds pull apart and moon changes faces in the quiet secret places Are you there are you there? Shine on, friend hole tight why then the darkening of the light
