Living With Manannan

Gwydion III created this little poem about Gwydion’s life with Manannan in King’s Quest 3.

KING’S QUEST 3’S
“LIVING WITH MANANNAN”
BY GWYDION III

From the mountain top I gaze,
At the land, all grey with haze,
I live up here with Manannan,
Whose power is a roaring blaze.

I am a slave to Manannan,
A servent for to place his work on,
He barely gives me what I need,
I have one set of clothes to don.

I’ve cleaned and cooked and swept and fed,
While he lays there on his bed,
If I could find the perfect time,
Than Manannan would soon be dead.

I feel a cold and chilly breeze,
I should go in before I freeze,
For if Manannan should find me here,
He’d beat me to my knees.

If just the perfect chance should meet,
I’d cast a spell, cast it with heat,
I would not have a lot of time,
But Manannan, I will defeat.
