Three shots into the air

Made Raven yelp in despair.

Crooked Smile tiptoed to the edge

To check the street

And wrinkled his nose

At the sight of Blue Moss,

His archenemy.

"What are yea gonna do? Raven asked,

Beating him won't be an easy task."

Crooked Smile bit his lips thoughtfully.

"Nothing. Let's just wait and see –

He can't linger here for all eternity."

"And... if he can?"

"Boy, the senior snorted with laughter, don't wet yourself again.

I fought him many, many times –

Actually, more than I can count;

And he never ever..."

"What?"

Crooked Smile frowned, then pled:

"This eve, Raven, go early to bed."
