Jesse Spencer: What do these markings mean?

Walter Clark: You know what a legend is?

Jesse Spencer: Yeah, it's a story.

Walter Clark: Well, stories, you tell in a bar. A legend has a spiritual quality to it. Uh, it's ingrained in a culture by being passed down from generation to generation. This particular legend is Maa-Kalaratri. The Dark Mother. She's ancient, before time was time, before humans existed. She is the spider goddess. A creator of worlds, a weaver of destiny. She presides over the time that we humans are given on this earth, and she lives in the darkness between the stars. There was a time when the people began to lose respect for the mother, and so Maa-Kalaratri emerged from a crack in the Earth, decimated the village, destroyed the crops, and stole a child from the village's chief. The people began to offer up blood sacrifices to appease her.
