The Path to Justice When it is dark, may you have light. The road you travel is cloaked with fear, A nd all manner of evils exist in the night. Keep your wits about you and sword near. A candle shines brighter in the dark than in light. Be not afraid to perish for your cause. There will be others... Sign in to see full entry.
