Brother Preserved Egg's prosthetic limbs were indeed mighty, in a full burst of energy, the steel at the lower levels of the Corrosion Pool was smashed open with a few "clangs".
Indeed, there, a crudely made piece of paper was somehow floating atop the still-hot molten iron, completely unaffected.

"The Candle"
Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a girl.
She was ugly and poor, and her parents had left her at an early age; she had lived alone and miserably for many years.
Because of her looks, she had no friends and, of course, no one liked her, so her life was incredibly lonely; she always dreamed of having someone to keep her company.
Perhaps God heard her prayers
...Perhaps.
In any case, on a winter's night, a drunkard barged into her home.
