In the dark and dreary forest
Stalks a beast that none can tame,
A creature born of nightmares
And fear itself by name.

Its fluffy fur and big round eyes
Might make you think it's sweet,
But then it tracks your pounding heart
And marks its every beat

Fingers, elbows, hands and knees,
And arms and legs and feet.
It eats them with delightful trills,
For every part’s a treat.

We baited out the loathsome beast
It gorged and slurped their veins
We locked it deep within the earth
Bound in Infernal Chains

We shut the mountain
Barred the door
We broke and burned the keys
So give thanks to the Darkin Blade
He chained a fouler beast

It poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague unto our houses

Actually, poisioning the water supply did give some people mild diarrhea but it also turned out to be a great source of vitamin c.

We found this written on a bloody scrap of parchment while cleaning out the board-game closet in the office last year. When we moved the shelves we found it scrawled all over the walls too.

It's probably fine.

Thanks! Most people who saw it scrawled on the bloodstained walls over and over and over again were kind of freaked out but it's been playing ceaselessy in my head since then and yearns to be spread. :)
