You are... you're like a beating heart. A glowing lamp. I've never met anyone like you before.

Because if I see you defeated, then I think I will see Alban defeated, and if that happens, none of us can go on. To guard you is to guard the heart of this land of ours.

Wake the sleeper must, and confront his fears, or risk being lost in the dark places of the mind forever.

Good and bad; shade and sunlight, there's but a hair's breath between them. It's all one in the end.

Come, dear heart. Lean on me and let us walk this path together.

The greatest tales, well told, awaken the fears and longings of the listeners. Each man hears a different story. Each is touched by it according to his inner self. The words go to the ear, but the true message travels straight to the spirit.

You don't like it that I am the one you need to keep the wolf from the door; that comes as no surprise. But I am the one you have. At some point we'll both have to risk telling the truth.
