Sir Raven enters his chamber, his safe haven and sits upon his throne, as he had done previous nights. He looks heaven ward, and he sees the stars in their heaven. He closes his eyes and speaks quietly to his Goddess, once more.....

Goddess, please take this pain away
I humbly ask for your love and compassion
Please look after the maiden that has abandoned me

Goddess, I humbly ask for a maiden that will I can love, trust, and have her trust me enough to reveal to me her deepest feelings

Goddess, I humbly ask for a maiden that has a spine made out of stainless steel. Goddess, you know that I love completely, and gently. Goddess, please, take this sadness, and anguish away.

My most humblest of thanks, and if it be your will, please grant me my wish.

Blessed Be.

Sir Raven opens his eyes, walks heavily over to his wash basin and cleanses his tear stained face. He puts on his tunic and retires for the night for the blessing of sleep.
