"You know kids, you didn't mind when Captain Liberty took you down. He did it with honor, with respect, and followed the rules. Not you kids today. For you, it is all about The Power.

"The Dark One, he looks like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off high places. When he looks at you a certain way, your humors freeze and your urine burns. The grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He's always outside. He came out of time. He doesn't know himself. His names are legion as are his faces. He's afraid of us. He is always on the outside looking in; hating people who have good fellowship and good conversation and friends - things he can not have. We're inside. He knows magic. He can call the Night Beast and live in the shadows. He's the king of nowhere. But he's afraid of us. He's afraid of . . . inside."
