Quote by Virginia Chandler

“The Lord and Lady of the Fair Folk sat at our own table, dressed in robes of red and black, their faces painted in patterns with ash and oils.

As if there were parts of me missing and only they knew where to find them”

Oh yes, I had the usual sword in the stone, lady of the lake, and Holy Grail images, too, I assure you.”
