The Adventures of Etain

Etain was the most beautiful human or proto human manifestation of the WG in the old Eriu of her day. For that reason, and not the less because she came of a good family, (her father Ailill was King of the Ulaid), Etaine was much sought after as a wife, even by those who were not mere mortals. Besides her heart-rending beauty, Etain had these characteristics; she was the most graceful server at table to have ever been seen, ever, and she was a fair nurse. And as if all that was not sufficient, consider the fact that even when Etain was transformed into a large fly, she made all the boys feel swell.

All righty Ray. That is quite enough.

Huh? I'm just gettin' started, tyin' up loose ends, as it were.

Um hmmmmmmmmm. But aren't you forgetting that "The Adventures of Etain" was to be a collaborative effort. Several of us wish to participate, and here you have begun without us.

Well not actually, I was just spelling out loud.

Yes you were doing just that Ray, spelling out loud without the rest of us. And I suppose you know a great deal about Etain?

Easy that, quite a bit!

Don't take that tone with me Ray. Nancy will send along something worse than a bosom asp just to yer attention if ye continue in that tone.

She will?

Yepper, fer sure. Now let's all sit down for some nice treats and discuss this like civilized Druids.
