FATE HAS SPUN HER WHEEL
"Into the deep woods, they had fled
Loggi and her Guigeman
She had been the second wife of Yonec
But no more
Now she had pledged herself to the noble knight
For a year and nearly a half they had been together in the dark forest
Making frequent love
To their great delight.
But then the preemption came
Fate spun her wheel.
They were no longer safe.
One Lord rises.
Another falls.
As she lay next to him, the vision came
He would die
Yonec would have his vengance
“I will die as you die. You are my love in life.
And you will be my love in death.”
