The Sleeping King

Description

There! there in thedark, the old King sleeps, until another fool comes to beg a boon. There he sleeps, until the intruder's footsteps disturb his rest. Upon that trespass, the lights shall spring up; a haunted glow shall dim the interloper's lamp. Warm shall be those lights, but the light will not warm the heart of that Stone King. With his sword held before him, he shall doom the petitioner to the same sleep as his own. It was never for us to know for what he should petition! Their flesh shall turn to iron, and they shall sleep before him, forever kneeling. Yet upon the instance of the next trespass, the floor shall be risen once more, and the body shall not be present. Thus shall the Stone King grow his army of Iron Beggars, until the Last Day comes.
