What do you give for what I have given you? What must I give, Ancient One? That which you hold dearest and would least willingly give. I have nothing of my own on this world. What thing can I give? A thing, a life, a chance; an eye, a hope, a return: the name need not be known. But you will cry its name aloud when it is gone. Do you give it freely? Freely, Ancient One.
