Your imminence - when you invade, as we are told you will, be sure to never leave the shade - the sun can make you ill. Who said that light defeats the dark? It’s often the reverse, the all too curvy story arc with prose instead of verse, without any unicorns but full of blood and gore - the viewer blinks, the reader scorns, but both sit tight for more. The light gets dark, the dark goes light, the markets go awry and villain forced to be a knight might break and fall and cry, and all for what? A piece of land? An ego scratched to bliss? And even if all goes as planned, some things will be amiss, no mater how you beat the drum, what monsters you befriend - but in the end the end will come; it always comes, the end.
