ā€˜Ā  iĀ  shallĀ  giveĀ  youĀ  aĀ  riddle,Ā  andĀ  itĀ  willĀ  puzzleĀ  youĀ  untilĀ  youĀ  knowĀ  theĀ  answerĀ  butĀ  forgetĀ  yourĀ  ownĀ  soul.Ā  ā€™
ā€˜Ā  aĀ  bloodlineĀ  isĀ  nothingĀ  whenĀ  youā€™veĀ  outlivedĀ  civilizations.Ā  ā€™
ā€˜ Ā refusing Ā my Ā hospitality Ā isĀ  likeĀ  human Ā sin,Ā  andĀ  it Ā will Ā bring Ā worse Ā upon Ā you. Ā ā€™
ā€˜Ā  everythingĀ  hereĀ  isĀ  andĀ  isnā€™t,Ā  andĀ  thingsĀ  areĀ  andĀ  arenā€™t.Ā  ā€™
ā€˜Ā  onĀ  lonelyĀ  nightsĀ  iĀ  stareĀ  intoĀ  theĀ  trees,Ā  andĀ  aĀ  strangeĀ  faceĀ  leersĀ  back.Ā  ā€™
ā€˜Ā  theĀ  thronesĀ  hereĀ  areĀ  madeĀ  ofĀ  bonesĀ  andĀ  blood,Ā  andĀ  builtĀ  uponĀ  decay.Ā  ā€™
ā€˜Ā  aĀ  thirdĀ  timeĀ  isĀ  notĀ  aĀ  charm,Ā  butĀ  aĀ  bargain.Ā  itĀ  saysĀ  thatĀ  youĀ  wantĀ  somethingĀ  enoughĀ  toĀ  wagerĀ  yourĀ  sense.Ā  ā€™
ā€˜Ā  itĀ  isĀ  dangerousĀ  toĀ  thinkĀ  thatĀ  magicalĀ  beingsĀ  doĀ  notĀ  haveĀ  humanĀ  intensities.Ā  ā€™
