Challenge 030: Danse Macabre
Dark feathers weaved into frayed, braided hair, loose and wild. The Morrigan, the Phantom Queen of Irish mythology, is many things: a war goddess, appearing in crow form above battlegrounds, inspiring courage, joining battle, and foretelling deaths; the banshee whose scream is a premonition of doom; the witch who would be known as Morgana le Fay, associated with King Arthur.
In armor dented by use and polished by hand, a tendency to appear in the crux of battle with wings outstretched, to predict deaths, forewarn disaster--the Morrigan, flickering in and out of historical record.
