Poem

I followed the road across the plain
Looking to hunt him down again
Up ahead there was a roadside tavern
Inside of which gathered a witch’s coven

The old hags were wary of my call
And looked suspiciously at my footfall
One spoke up in a craggy voice inquiring
As the others whispered together all conspiring

I told them I was looking for the dark man
And they said they had seen him in an earlier stand
Where he had demanded a potion to bind his wounds
They had complied and the man had regained health very soon

But I did not see one of them cast a spell
As the room changed and over I fell
Next a black panther crouched and looked at me
And I fought it to death in a power play to see

Then I saw the witches through the misty shade broke
I pounced on them with my blade to the one who spoke
Demanding them all to yield to me or they would find my blade
And they cowered away from me crying mercy for mercy made

They confessed to seeing the dark man the previous fore-noon then
He had left taking a potion paying with a silver coin at the agreement’s end
I searched their tavern leaving with a green cat’s eye amulet 
To use or to barter as I pursued the dark man on the path as it was set.
