---===* Shadowulf *===---  

He is not a thief, you say,

For he is to be trusted.

He is good, you say,

For the mark of man rests on his head.

He is gentle, you say,

For he treats well of the maidens,

and respectfully of the lords.

Many would believe this of him

and many shall

and perhaps even I do

...to some degree.

But...I have seen his eyes.

A wolf may be a friend, a brother,

even loyal onto death...

but look in their eyes.

There you will find a vision

of the last hunt,

and a dream, perhaps, of the next.

Do not misunderstand me, children,

such wolves are still good, and still loyal,

but do not offer them the blood scent lightly.

I would not care to flee the wolf.

Nor, strong as I am,

would I flee it for long.

I know of few such men.
