:"As Kertigen was crafting, preparing for a faire, |

- Then the caravan embarked upon the fest'val road.
- From the shadows a Panther struck and seized the Raven's gold."

- He steals gold, he steals goods, where will his hand not stray?'
- Chadatru promises justice swift and stalks off into the night,
- While star-strewn hair chuckles in the shadows out of sight."
- "To Hodierna did Kertigen rant, complaining of his loss.
- 'Just make more, my Raven dear. What was taken is but dross.'
- 'The Panther is a menace, he e'en robs some of their life.
- He will be stopped, I swear it,' said the Raven to his wife."
- "It takes money to make money,
- It takes love to foster love.
- It takes a thief to catch a thief,
- E'en from the stars above."
- "To the Heron and the Goshawk, Kertigen pled his case.
- 'What's in it for us?' they asked him, greed written upon each face.
- 'Justice,' replied Kertigen, hope built within his voice.
