I don't own Morganville. First half is the story and isn't a point of view. Though Amelie is reading it out loud. Also note that the goddess Morrighan is an actual goddes I don't own her either. Though the story and plot I do own ;)

Once upon a time...
There was a beautiful goddess name Morrighan. She was beautiful and mysterious. Some referred to her as the Phantom queen. Others referred to her as the Crow princess for she was often found in the form of a crow.

Morrighan loved to visit the humans. Though she couldn't get involved with them directly she would watch as she soared through the sky. One day as Morrighan was exploring she was surprised to happen upon a human. This human was beautiful to her.

His hair as black as her crow feathers his eyes. His eyes a dark brown. His skin a golden color almost copper. He was a native she realized by his attire. She studied him and soon found herself taking flight to follow the man.

She wasn't sure why but she felt drawn to him. This carried on for days her observing the man from a distance. She knew she could never get involved with a human so she finally found the strength to leave the man. She had landed in a forrest.

Shifting back to her original form. However she hadn't realized the man she had been watching had saw her. She tried to stay away but couldn't and after two days she returned. Only another tribe had attacked the man she was drawn to.

She wasn't supposed to get involved but she could not allow him to die. So Morrighan went against the laws of the gods. She saved the man giving him immortality as she bestowed upon him her blood. When the man awoke he recognized this women as the one he had seen.

He was scared at first but as he stayed by her side for a few days he grew to love her. She had saved his life after all. She was a small women so he dubbed her Ciqala. As he did not know her name.

He told her he was named Chogan. After years had passed they had become lovers. However the other gods had heared of Morrighan and her deed. She knew that if they were caught they would both be punished.

She urged her lover to leave her side as she would take the punishment. He refused and they managed to evade the gods for a while. One day Chogan had fell into temptation. Another goddess had came to earth in order to capture both Chogan and Morrighan.

She seduced the man. Morrighan having been bonded to her lover cried out as her bond was broke. In anger she cursed Chogan to live forever as a shape shifter. The once man was no longer man as he could turn from human to crow.

The man was forced to hide. Any women he took after that bore a child that would carry his curse as well. Morrighan however was sentenced to a mortal life. Being reincarnated every 100 years only to die again.

Amelie's pov

I stopped reading. I glanced up from the book. Myrnin's eyes held fear. Claire's held confusion.

I knew what Myrnin had ment now. The crow Chogan had referred to Claire as Ciqala. So either Claire just resembled the celtic goddess Morrighan or she was the reincarnation of the goddess. Either way this still did not tell us everything.

"Do you think he wants her... or seeks revenge?" I asked unable to hide my worry now. Myrnin pulled his fiance closer " I'm not sure." He muttered.

I knew he was on edge we all were but him being on edge would do nothing but hinder us. Right now it had become personal to him. More personal then any of the other problems he had faced. I stared at Claire who still hadn't made the connection.

" There is only one way to find out..." I said already knowing that my old friend would not like my plan. He of course objected the minute he realized what it was I suggested. "We have no choice! Do not fear we will not allow him to harm her." I tried to soften my voice on the last part.

Finally I saw it click in Claire's eyes. I knew she wouldn't object. Though she wouldn't except that she could be Morrighan's reincarnation. She would still do what was needed to help.

I knew this was underhanded but right now it was the only thing I could think of that would stop Myrnin and his rant. "Myrnin might I remind you in the past you have used Claire for plans... is it now that you object out of fear that he may be able to seduce your lover?" I asked knowing that reminding him of how he had used Claire in the past would hurt him. Then hinting that he wouldn't do it out of mistrust in Claire would have Claire back me up.

Truly underhanded but necessary. We needed to know what Chogan wished for. If he wished to seek revenge we would stop him. If he wished to have Claire... we would still have to stop him. I knew this would get messy either way.

Was this place really Chochokpi or was that his lie to throw us off? We still needed answers. It seemed we would only be able to get them from the man himself. I picked up the phone calling my own lover.

"I need you to come in." I simply said before hanging up. I watched as Claire argued with Myrnin over the subject. He was to occupied trying to reassure her that it had nothing to do with mistrust but rather her safety. She however insisted she was a big girl and could do this as it was needed.

I knew when this was finished Myrnin would be angry with me. Though I did not wish that if it was the price I had to pay I would.
