Of the gate-Stone of the Wyrd:
Obsidian the gods forbade
And stone they greatly feared.

Of her he loved so well,
To keep with her where she lay down
Inside the starry cell.

In a mountain made of fire,
Where all men are forbidden
Despite their great desires.

Where the third lies
Will never be told
By voice or tongue
Or sum of gold. — Sarah J. Maas
