Strange things
Have been
Going on lately
In these woods.
Something
Is hunting
Again, but this time,
It is an outsider.
I have come to track
This creature.
I have no clue
What type of creature
It is that I am hunting.
My name is Thornn.
That is all you need
To know…
Calathai, mi sada…
(Come, my love…)
I whisper
(Under my breath)…
I smell something,
Something unnatural—
Something very alien.
I see a shape
Out of the corner
Of my eye.
A wolf?
In these woods?
Impossible!
But I saw it,
And my eyes
Don't lie…
That is what I'm
Looking for…
I give chase
Upon my horse.
I have caught sight
Of the beast again.
I draw my sword
In preparation
For the kill.
Thwack!
The blade sinks deep.
The creature speaks
English.
"What did you
Do to me?"
It says.
"Goshta ma… I killed you."
I answer.
"But I'm not dead!"
"Ah, but you are now,
Glostow."
With one powerful stroke,
I decapitate
The thing.
It's dead,
Finally.
