The SHARP edge of the knife cuts before he realizes what has happened. Finger to lips, MOUTH fills with the salty metal taste. The ETHIC of the brotherhood requires much, and he has had to be LITHE and swift as the tests have increased. It is as if he has had to TITHE in flesh, and he suspects that the more dangerous the test, the more certain they will be of his loyalty.

This HOUSE a temple
delicate CHIME guides prayer
Service is my TITHE
