All Comments on 'The Tattooed Woman Pt. 10'

Okay, so the tattooed woman has indeed some connection to Morrigan as I suspected. The crows presumably reacted to her approaching. Very telling also the following exchange: 'Cassie stared in amazement, "I wonder what she was like." The tattooed woman stared at the shrine but made no answer.' That's a hidden cue if there ever was.

At this point I assume that she is either Morrigan herself or her daughter. The latter is more likely though. For once, when she told her story some chapters ago, her mother was described with an aura of supremacy, befitting a goddess. And from a storytelling viewpoint, it also makes sense to introduce both mother and daughter. If she was Morrigan herself, who'd be her mother? Second, it's fitting that the tattooed woman falls into a peaceful sleep under the care of her mother represented by both the shrine and the image on the wall.

You bet that I'm looking forward to learn more about the truth behind that woman.

And I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I'm having a lot of fun writing it, and like any writer (I think) I love getting favourable feedback.

All the best, and Merry Yuletide.

Great story! Thank you for taking the time to share with us.

It just keeps getting better and better.

Great story! This line gave me a good laugh: As one Ashunara and Nyx slowly turned to regard the swordsman. He looked between them both with a dawning expression of horror, "Aw shit."
