DO NOT FEAR THE DARK - A Selinian children's poem regarding the Caxqette.

...

Do not fear the dark,

for it’s the light they lurk within. They hide in plain sight, through smiles and a grin.

Do not fear the dark,

lest they smell all your fears. Potent and sour, the taste of your tears.

Do not fear the dark,

Selen grows hungry. The wilds thrash and drool, all violence portrayed bluntly.

Do not fear the dark,

A caxqette won't discriminate. Rich or poor, all kinds they will terminate.

Do not fear the dark,

It won’t make a difference. Brave or a coward, you pray it spares you this instance.
