  Morna MicCormac -- Amergin Press Stories
Morna MicCormac 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.
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.
Morna turned her back on the corpse and never thought of the King again.  She went to her beloved, cradling his head.  She stripped the hateful deerskin cloak from his shoulders and summoned her horse.
