Kathryn's Love Part Vii - the End

After the Second of Epona Plains
Part Seven

Gundar Nills..the Victor.
Your witch I'll burn 
At the full moon
So precious to you
As my son was to me.
And Damn you all
For eternity.

So Gundar Nills
Ordered his men
To tie poor
Kathryn to a tree
In the forest
Of the Mystic 
Mountains.

He sensed that
His love was in dire need
And rode all the
Day and into the night
Until his horse could go
no more.

On a hill the Young Prince
saw down in the valley
It was Kathryn
that night, 
Burned at the stake....
He was too late
To save her.
He mourned.

Gundar Nills, 
The Viking King,
Had his revenge,.
His son was 
Atoned for at last.

But our Wiccan Princess...
An amulet she
Wore that night.
He said it had the power
To protect her
He said...
No fire or pain
Would she ever know...
As the flames grew around her..
You could hear 
A sweet voice singing....
Until she just vanished....
Like smoke in 
the air....

Our Prince
gathered his strength
And rode threw the night
To face Gundar Nills,
The Viking King,
A challenge
Was made
And honored.
 
At the Bay of Epona
 They met for one last time..
They both fought
With shields and daggers
Circling each other
Until at last
They rushed head on
Like thunder.

Gundar Nills drove his blade
To the hilt....
He thought he had won the day
But to his dismay...
He felt the point
Of the young Prince's
Knife pierce his Blackened
Heart.....as he fell.
Gundar Nills, the viking King
Was dead.
.
But alas our Prince 
was mortally wounded......
 Oh  Kathryn...he sighed with his 
last dying breath,
My love will always yours.
From the day we shared
In the meadow......
Till this...
And our Prince closed his
Eyes forever.



Many did witness what happened next.
The heavens they did open
And Kathryn appeared
In a bright flash of light,
and took her lover 
home.

From that day to this 
You can see on the
Mountain,
Over looking the bay,
Carved deep
into rock....
Our Prince standing
Guard...
With Kathryn at 
his side.
