The Ballad of Lenore (Part 14)

In the hands of Rosephron

A huge and musty book

He opened to the middle page

He turned it to me and said "Look."

Then Rod pointed to a rune and said

"Tell me what you see."

The rune stood up, out from the page

And pointed straight at me

I looked down upon myself

On my armor, face and hands

Were shining runes, like in the tome

Connected with glowing strands

Well, I guess I always knew that

They are my power to make be

I shine those runes a-purpose

Not always do they see

"They are what drive the sylphs

They read you like a book

And you are writing the story

Trust your power, no need to look"
