If you read my last post you would know I am in the mood to write and this is the first time I have written my story! lol ok so it isn't about me it is about the roll I play when I go to renaissance fairs! I am Morna McCormac at fairs! Ok so here it is:
This story is a classic story of desire and betrayal. Morna loves Angus, but King Mark desires her so he arranges Angus’ death. When he did he had not counted on the strength of Morna McCormac. There are three primary characters in this story: Morna, Angus and Mark. Morna McCormac was a huntress, the finest in the kingdom. Her arms were white and strong like the pillars in Finn's Heroes Hall. Whenever she drew her bow, her arrow found its mark without fail. Angus Conway was her betrothed. He was the finest warrior in the kingdom. No man in the land could stand against him single combat. Had they been the rulers of the kingdom (or had the fates been more kind) they would have had a happy life and produced many fine warriors for Finn's Company. But there is a third figure in our story, the ruler of the kingdom, King Mark Ardgall. Mark wanted Morna passionately and intended to have her as his queen. He gave her every proper attention, making his desire very clear to her. Morna would have none of it. She loved Angus with all her heart so she politely declined all of the King's attentions. As a free woman, she thought that this would be the end of the matter. However, King Mark was not one to be defeated. He devised a clever plan to eliminate his competition while not exposing himself to even in the shadow of blame. He summoned Angus before him and with great ceremony bestowed upon him a fine cloak of deerskin and a mighty helmet crowned with antlers. Calling Angus the best of his warriors, he charged him to wear this fine raiment and seek the Great Boar of the Forest, which had been terrorizing the kingdom. Angus accepted the favor of the King and departed that evening on his quest. He had no chance to say farewell to Morna, for the King had arranged her absence on the day of the ceremony.
