When upon the door I did gaze Gorlois was. Why was he not leading his army in battle my mind did wander in that moment. Beyond him I did see our daughter, Morgause hiding herself behind a curtain with a look I did not understand. Why did she not call to him as always she would if from her bed she had awakened?

              “Igraine.”

              “Husband why be thee here and not upon the battlefield from where you did go?”

             “I have come to spend the night with my wife for in case it be the last…”

              ‘Why would he say such to me? Surely being the great warrior he was the battle would be won with his leadership.’

            He did look like my husband yet something did feel off about him I felt as closer he came after closing the door. Surely he would not leave the battlefield to lay with me and leave his men to fight
