Trina came up with this gem, and I thought it was to good to be left in the vault.


Late in the evening all the wizards are gathered, as is their wont, around the massive dining trestles in the refectory of BU. The comfortable murmur of several dozen people who know no one is going to try to murder them until their stomachs are full.

Suddenly, the lights vanish.

There is general confused murmuring at a higher level, interspersed with an occasional scream as a low level wizard makes a break for a higher level under cover of darkness.

A spotlight appears at the end of the hall.

There is a woman in a deep red sequinned dress caught in its glare.

The woman raises her face to the audience, and in a husky and gentle voice begins to sing....

 I am Wolfie, hear me roar
 My fav'rite trick is to ignore
 All the cruel attacks they launch and to pretend
 'cause I've heard it all before
 And I've been down there on the floor
 No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes I am wise
But my wisdom feels no pain
I will not pay the price
Just look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am Wolfie....

You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
And you may wake up to find I've reaped your soul

Oh yes I am wise
But my wisdom feels no pain
I will not pay the price
Just look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am Wolfie....

I am Wolfie, watch me grow
hair from my snout down to my toe
As I spread my evil-library-domination-plans across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Till I make you raving loonies understand

Oh yes I am wise
But but I still love to give pain
I'll never pay the price
Just see how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am Wolfie...
Oh, I am Wolfie
I am invincible
I am strong

I am Wolfie
I am invincible
I am strong
I am Wolfie....

There is a moment of hushed silence as the woman finishes her song. Her head drops, hair once more covering her face, and she stands totally at ease for the second before the light vanishes again.

Pandemonium breaks out.

By the time the candles have been relit, there is no sign of her anywhere.
