palespring: ♛ Morgan le Fay + quotes {3/ ∞} They say that I was born under a cursed sky, when lightning struck the old wizard tree atop the tallest, lushest green hillock on a cloudless night, by the light of a full and blood-red moon. They say that I was born of witch, child of dark forces beyond, and pointed at my jet-black hair, my snow-pale skin, my ice-blue eyes, so different from the blonds and gingers and sandy-haired peoples of my father, but my mother was from a race not from this land. I still say I have my coloring from her peoples, for I do remember her: eyes the color of a cloudless winter sky, a pale face framed by night, and a melodic voice that sang me wordless melodies. Or perhaps I am dreaming my features into hers, as they also say that she was dead before I had finished entering the world. For they also say that as I drew my breath to cry, I sucked out the last of her fragile soul from her weakened body, like a parasite devouring its host. I say they lie, and that she died with a smile on her lips, and my name on her breath. Morgaine. Morgaine of the sea, of the bright white sea. Le Fay: a literary fantasy short story - S. E.
