Look, disappointed as I am to be deprived of a “monster-filled epic”, is no one going to talk about the fact that the guy translating this has the same name as the title character and science tells us this means he’s an immortal who guards the doors between earth and the realm of shadows?

Look, I don’t want to idly throw suspicion, but if the “Song of Hornik” was supposed to be about werewolves hiding among us and this guy Hornik said, “No it’s about pretty flowers,” I might start looking for the mark of the pentagram.

I’m pretty sure he’s the guy on the left, which means he has a magic beard. I’m just pointing this out.

Attack of the Methos. 'how do you know it belonged to this legendary immortal?' 'you can see where he spilled garum on it after a cat bumped into his leg when he had a hangover.' 'you can tell that from one stain?'
