Morgan le Fay

Morgan le Fay transformed from a queen,
To something darker, something unseen.
In myth she was curious, virtuous, bright—
But later pens only wanted to fright.
That priestess of old, half-druid, half-divine,
Whom knights bore Arthur to in twilight’s line.
For when the king was wounded and nearly dead,
They sought her isle where magic bled.
So villain or paladin? Neither fits her bid—
Morgan would say, I simply did.
