The journey of two travelers on the way to Sancre Tor.

The Road
How they walked together, the pilgrim and the soldier, on the road to Sancre Tor.

The road to Sancre Tor is an evil road,
there is no water and no life,
evil spirits haunt it,
evil beasts beset it,
evil men besiege it,
it is an evil road.

The soldier wielded her iron hammer,
smashing the skulls of wolves,
crushing the skulls of thieves,
destroying the skulls of braying bulls.

The pilgrim spoke in whispers,
abjuring the hungry ghosts,
placating the watchful saints,
deceiving the mocking sky-spirits.

Together they walked, siblings of fate and fortune,
journeying far on the road to Sancre Tor.
Glad to have the strength of one another,
each others' warmth in cold nights.

But the road to Sancre Tor is cold,
a bitter road,
it knows no solace in companionship.
