"It is possible that late in that night, as the huntsman sat at his bench at the inn with his cup and his plate, with the glow of the fire and the shouting men around him, he drank too much and told his stolid companions that while hunting he had stepped into the path of the elven, bespeared Queen of the Wood, beautiful and terrible as a warship with her red hair like a cape around her, and that she had, in her great mercy, let him go."
"Into the Wood" by Walter Gilman,
based on "A Song of Ice and Fire" by GRRM
