And Kelan spoke to Varik's face
To heap on elder all his praise
At such a plan as one had done
When creeping spell the jedi spun
To show their foes the face of ghost
From ancient men the former boast
As leaders sending village forth
To turn their paths on all their course.
"The plan that elder made was well
To guard this place that peasants dwell.
Yet more from even their own kind
By using tricks their word to bind.
Thus showing ghost were none were made
To make them do as Jedi bade."
And all the air that Tarlson held
Did rush from lungs where breath did dwell
Escaping out and forth to world
As fear in place of pit did curl.
And Varick spoke fulfilling dread
Confirming all that Kelan said.
"The plan was good and filled with wiles
Though some revile the use of guile.
Yet still we've saved a many death
And left the bandit train bereft.
If only such a secret stay
And keeps the threat of strife away."
And hearing once again there lie
Did Tarlson's rage at such defy.
Then swept he out again to night
To try and all his anger fight.
