Overflowing fruits and treats

Delicacies around the room

Sweet wine and beer warm in their glasses

Warmth radiating from the harth

Comfortable retreat from the world

In this mystical place

Unusual place

Two lone figures sharing each others company

Talking in the night

One searching for information

The other giving it without knowing

As the embers grow dim

And the night draws on

A pact will be made

And before the birds sing to the morning sun

The guest will lose omething dear

The hand of his daughter

To one hiden behind a cloak
