Ost, a promise
Neh, a loss
Pat, a gift
Denz, a cost
Kor, a fire
Radu, a frost

First a touch
Quiet embrace
Then a voice
From unseen face
Next a warmth
Surrounding, deep
Silence then
Its' secrets keep
Now a light
Reveals a grin
Claws and teeth
That draw you in

Seven doors surround her heart
Seven walls set her apart
Each door opens with a key
The seventh one will set her free

Riddle me this, oh Sphinx - what is that seventh door, who holds that seventh key, what comes next? *faint, distant smile... she goes back to chanting quietly, almost under her breath*

Ost, neh, pat, denz, kor, radu, jast... ost, neh, pat, denz, kor, radu, jast... ost, neh, pat, denz, kor, radu, jast...
