lyrics

Sloan and Isaac set out at first light
Sloan says that he didn't sleep last night
Into Forsyth Forest the duo goes
Isaac has a few things he needs to know, so

He tells Sloan to tell him his tale
"Tell me a bit about yourself"
Sloan looks up and clears his throat
"I'm not sure what you want to know

But my daughter Ellie is my life
I've lost all contact with my wife

We thought we had a lead up north
Just dead ends leading us back and forth
That brings us to the latest verse
You and I travel to the heart of the curse"

"So what's in that case that you won't let anyone touch?
So valuable, yet you can't pay me much?"
"It's value, I'm afraid, lies just in my heart
For you it's of no use; for me a crucial part"

Isaac decides to let that be
Relics of Sloan's wife likely
Is a myth of light within
Even the shadiest of men?

"Where is your daughter? Is she safe?"
"I took her to her uncle's after we escaped"
"And your wife? When did she disappear?"
"I'm sad to say that it's been two years

I hate to leave my Ellie alone
But yes, she'll be safe while I am gone
So I hired a hardened scar collector
All I knew to do to protect her"

"I am truly sorry about your wife
I hope that you can rebuild your life
I hate to pry, but I have to
Ghenim saw something shady in you"

Sloans eyes dart away
"What exactly did he say?"

"He said you're sad but you fight it back
Mostly to spite Silver's attack
Ellie is indeed your main concern
And that's the bulk of what he learned

But why is your magic force waning?
The curse, of course, has your life draining
But spirit grows when we are pressured
Your power should be beyond measure!

He also said that Silver's death
Will offer you closure at best
The hex won't go- the strange part, though
Is the fact that you already know

You claim to have some special plan
He claims the curse will spare no man
It's clear that you've been lying to me
So why is it that I'm not worried?"

Isaac decides to let that be
If nothing else, then for Ellie
Is it a myth of light within
Even the shadiest of men?

Ghenim's spell will keep Isaac free of Silver's curse
It was that or Sloan's gift- clearly Silver is worse
Isaac recounts fights near and far
A fable spelled out in scars
