Does anyone know what happened to the old man
who lived in the mire below Beggars Hill?
Some say he was a wizard, or perhaps a druid.
Are druids really evil?
I can't tell the difference.
They say he had a daughter
who was brought to the village as an orphan.
Do you know how many orphans we have in this village?
Enough to overrun America, for sure.
They run among our people like pathogens run
in the air around a hospital.
She could be around us right now.
I bet she has the talents of her pa.
Magic never looks good on a man, but for women,
it seems to fit. They are all witches in their rite it seems.
Perhaps she will survive,
and maybe my own boy fall for her scarlet eyes.
