How we met?
Me and he.
Hawk and Ezra.

Two days afore
Two wanderers met.
Me and he.
Hawk and Ezra.
Hawk wandered
Sans an aim.
Ezra wandered
Sur* an aim.
Ezra'd heard about
These hills and heights.
And this ain't
Any tourist spot.
A calm and peaceful heights,
Then it is.
Thus he chose,
To wander here.
And I felt right
To care for
An orphan -
Ezra.

Thus came we,
Me and he,
Hawk and Ezra,
To this village heights.

And, now,
We got a sharper aim.
Open the door.
First,
To the Quallete's Abbey.
Then,
To the David's Abode,
Where, years seven afore,
Was a family murdered.
Brutally. Horrifically.
A father,
A mother,
And a son.
Rephaim and family.
Murder - how?
Murderer who?
Unknown.
The case file
Would be below
Dust with the law.

We walked.
