The Moonskull Verses Canto 23
Torn said, “I do not think
that the wind is attacking.
I believe that there is
a hidden entity, cloaked
with air and unseen.
As people were cut down around me,
I heard laughter ripple through the air.
I want to fight this foe
but I need magic to enact my plan.
Can one of you aid me?”
River looked to Shrub and she said,
“I can try to help but
do not blame me if we are all killed.”
Torn laughed and said,
“My ghost will hold no grudge
when we travel to
the Gate of Twilight.”
