REPETITION OF FORM
THE FURIES’ FIRST CHALLENGE

There is more to music than melody and more to poetry than rhyme.  In Morningstone there is a wealth of word art, "spells," if you prefer.  It is enough, for now, to display the form, to help you to recognize it when you encounter it again.  This first time MORGAN meets the FURIES, they are less than friendly.


 
FIRST FURY:  What brings you here? 
MORGAN:  You want the truth? 
SECOND FURY:  That is slyly spoken. 
THIRD FURY:  Like a deceiver spoken. 
FIRST FURY:  Intended, perhaps, to mislead? 
MORGAN:  Mislead?  I find truth serves me well enough . . . 
SECOND FURY:  Truth serves not. 
THIRD FURY:  It is its own unbending master. 
FIRST FURY:  The Tomb of Every Hope. 
MORGAN: Then, I must serve Truth!

 
As he drives away, Morgan, puzzled by their hostility, watches the smirking Furies in his rear view mirror.  Suddenly, Morgan, who has really been asleep at the wheel all along, runs his sports car off the road into a ditch, a rude awakening, indeed!  For more about the Furies and the First Challenge, CLICK ON THE MYSTERIES.
