\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a dangerous world, son. One that should not be traversed lightly. When the sun goes down, you best be home. Safe inside with doors locked. There are few places left of peace. Bright pinpoints of light in the darkness. Best to be in one when the darkness comes calling. But even those places are fewer and farther between than they once were. The world is changing. Growing cruel and dark. You must be strong. But not yet. Not yet. For now, you must be safe.<\/p>\n
Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry, son. The darkness won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come here. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a tale, you see. An old tale. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a reason that bright places like Homewood still exist. A very special reason. For centuries, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve watched over us. The grey sentinels. Watched over us and kept the darkness at bay. You remember that. When all hope seems lost and the gruekin\u00c2\u00a0come scratching at your door, the grey sentinel will save us. The Shepherd protects his flock.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
