I am Morgane le Fey
Chapter 2
We all prepared for Viviane, for she was an important woman. The manor was thoroughly cleaned, unfortunately with my help, vegetables were picked and fresh bread baked, and, much to my dismay and annoyance, Anna and I were fitted for new frocks. Why is it that it takes so long just to fit us for a dress? It's ridiculous. I had to waste many mornings sitting there like I was dead. To add to my impatience, the dressmakers complained that I fidgeted too much, and I was kept far longer than Anna. Damn Anna with all her patience and virtue, she was a great burden in later years...but I'm going too fast. When I saw my dress, I decided that it was all worth it to look my best in front of Aunt Viviane.
The day soon came, and I was excited beyond belief, I could not understand how Anna could sit there still and perfect like a little china doll. I was constantly being reminded not to fidget or move, for I would rumple my dress. I couldn't help it. I was about to meet Auntie Viviane; a woman whom I hoped could help me realize my dream of greatness. The entire day no one did anything, everyone sat still and waiting, holding his or her breaths with apprehension, even nurse didn't budge. An hour went by. Two. Three. Four. After five hours had gone by, nurse got up and told us to go back to work. I was broken hearted. I had longed so much to meet Aunt Viviane, a woman I had heard so much about.
"Come along now Morgane," said Nurse severely, "be a good little girl and go back to your embroidery, we must not waste the day moping about, there are things to be done."
"But why isn't Viviane coming? You promised!"
I shouted, it wasn't fair. Nurse, instead of chiding me like I was expecting, simply didn't utter a word, but I could tell she was displeased with Viviane. Ruler or no, Nurse thought she didn't have the right to make us wait.
Just as we all started to bring out our daily tasks, I noticed something funny happening in the water basin.
"Mama, look!"
My mother came running and gazed into the water. She began to sing, singing a song in a language I did not recognize, but seemed familiar.
"Gairti lochan bass, fala vun patin. Ka leigh ma bebit, tee masta bar datin. Corla, o Mona, cheec tonie dan hugh Viviane, Viviane, sin tak bonlugh."
With her chanting the water began to churn, changing colors from blue to silver to green and back to blue. We all watched. Suddenly, mother stopped, and she looked at us with a smile on her face.
"The Lady is here."

Thanks to all my reviewers! I hope you liked this chapter, I got kind of frustrated with it, I wasn't sure where to put what, and things like that that I'm sure you all don't want to hear about, right? Haha, don't answer that... Anyways, the next chapter, as you probably already guessed, you all get to meet Viviane! Yay! Just to warn you, if you have seen the movie 'Mists of Avalon' with Angelica Houston as Viviane, (why did they cast her as Viviane?????) well, MY Viviane is different! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not....Hum, we'll just have to see!
Snuffles 55: Yes, I know, I should slow it down, but trust me, there's going to be enough detail, and I really really really needed to get the story moving, because there is a lot more interesting things that are going to happen than Morgane's early years, which are basically full of treats and things, so I'm speeding up to where her life starts to change!
Me Acorn and Sometimes Bananas: LOVED that quote, it was funny, it made me fall of my chair, and I almost broke something...the chair that is! Hahahah... Yeah, the spacing was weird, but I fixed it!
Teigr: Thanks! Yeah, I really tried to show that she really wanted to learn the 'ancient arts', which helps her become the person she is!
Michele: Hehe, thanks for bearing with me!
