The Durst Manor Rhyme
A verse written in blood on a wall of Durst Manor.
Malron’s Account
When the last of us stepped into Durst Manor, the doors slammed shut, every light went out and six chimes rang. By torchlight we found this verse written in blood on a wall of the first floor2. The beast it warns of slept beneath the house.
The rhyme
As it was written on the wall:
Beneath this dwelling lurks a beast
Who hungers for a bloody feast.
He sleeps until the midnight chime
Then wakes to feed his dark design.
If morsels seek to flee their doom,
Then bring toward his secret room
A gift to soothe his savage mood
But mind the servants of his brood.
