Mortal of Grace
 |
|
When Gwythonain, daughter of the Faerie Queen, comes across a mortal man in the forest, she is immediately taken with him. Her governess, Mayla, warns that she should forget this man, but Gwythonain returns days after day to watch him as he visits the grave of his dead sister and talks of the woes of his family. Finally, unwilling to remain unknown to Eógan any longer, she removes her cómhla, a pendant that is the faeries' gateway to an Saol Eile (the Inner World). Now visible to the mortal, she speaks to him, and they quickly fall in love. When he makes her a wooden carving of their family flower, she decides to give him a gift in return, and uses her fae Grace to restore his sister Wynne to the living.
Soon thereafter, Eógan is dragged off to war, and Gwythonain vows to await his return - a promise that becomes a curse when he dies in battle. Wynne promises to wait with her, and their they stay for decade after decade until one day a man named Keighlyn comes to Wynne's gravesite. To Mayla's surprise, he is able to see her, and they realize that he - grandson to Wynne - carries Gwythonain's Grace. In order to release the faeries from their vow, he sets off to find Eógan's remains, which takes him to the dun of Tighearna Morgan, the Immortal Lord, who found unending health in the magic of Gwythonain's cómhla, which he took from Wynne before killing her. Keighlyn exacts revenge for the death of his grandmother and eventually learns of the resting place of Eógan, who he restores to life with Gwythonain's Grace.
They return to Wynne's gravesite, releasing Gwythonain and Mayla from their vow, but find that Gwythonain has faded. Eógan returns the Grace to Keighlyn to be reunited with his love in death, and Keighlyn and Mayla leave together for the Faerie lands.
This play is an extension of the short script, "Duine", and is dedicated to Sharon Preator, without whom it would never have come to be.
