She was far more beautiful than I had ever been. Her face was full and curving, like a golden crescent moon. She walked, and the light followed her.
Only shadows followed me. My heart was iron, cold and heavy.
But her heart—I could practically see it beating. Glowing with an insurmountable light.
Something in me had stirred itself and sparked.
If I could not live for myself, could I live for her?
For her, I embraced the shadows.
For her, I welcomed the dark.
I followed her like a silent wraith. I became her sworn protectress. Whether she knew it or not.

Morgan Pendragon.
The bitch who had left me for dead.
