“Step forth and be welcome. Step into my light.

You may rest here for a moment or two.

But be warned, and be wary. Out there in the night.

The darkness, it is still waiting for you.

 

I am no friend to mortals, but I mean you no harm;

You are safe while you stand in my presence.

But you cannot trick me with whit or charm,

I advise you not to commit such penance.

 

My manners are patient and my prices are fair.

But, if you steal from me then be aware,

I am still a beast like any other,

I will leave little more than bones for Brother.”
