It was once said that a soul could be lost forever. If you believe in such a thing. But to believe such a thing, would required to believe that it could also be saved.
The past speaks in riddles, and the shadows remind us of the lost. The eyes are said to be windows to our souls. If you believe such a thing.
But honored, yet feared was the man who could save us from our misdeeds and ill fortune. A man who was said, for a penny or for a pound, could eat the sins of the dead. A man that could light the way through the dark and back to the truth.
