”Carry not your body nor presence any further through this gate.
Part not this sweet hollow of time and place and put not your foot upon this hallowed ground, your destination unknown, your intentions kept close to your vest, for I shall keep this place clean.
I will move with all direct speed in your way, rare back my sharpened hooves and wail them upon your head and body.
Whether or not thy own will is powered by the ludicrous thoughts exponentially flitting through your mostly vacant head, bare thee and listen one last time:
I am the keeper of this property, this is my domain and I will see that this place shall be swept clean and free, from the likes of you or your preponderance to magnify your own inabilities to fight.
Good Day.”
