““What does that mean? I do not have the heart to tell you but know if only half of what is whispered of this damnant is true, his evil is twice all the hate of the ages. I do not wish to strand you, but if I tell you now, my words might deflect your courage and prevent you from becoming the man you must. But I promise, I will tell you all that is yours to hear before you grow too doddered, before old age frosts what it doesn’t rub away, lest this secret freeze the warm wealth of your heart. Just know at the banquet for this particular revelation, plums are better than prunes.””

David Jetre
