-- Deep in a dark forest under a moonless night, a meeting takes place between two concealed people.
-- "It's been a while since we last spoke. What brings you here?"
-- The voice that responded was deep and resonated slightly as it spoke, "A longing heart."
-- "Oh? Well usually these things are a personal matter. I don't know how I could help. I hardly know how things work for dragons."
-- "It's different. My heart is longing for a human."
-- "A human? Well I do see a problem with this, as interesting as it may be. What kind of human?"
-- "It's a lady with golden hair and fair skin. She frequently sits upon a high balcony of the castle of Anovea."
-- "Well that's... wait... You just described the princess of Anovea."
-- "Is that a bad thing?"
-- "I suppose it's actually not much worse than any other human. It's just as immensely hopeless either way."
-- "It can't be that hopeless."
-- "Yes, it can be. A horse cannot simply love a chicken. Why did you have to become infatuated with her?"
-- "My heart acted without reason, and it moves me. The heart does what it wants and often ignores what the mind says."
-- "How could this kind of thing happen anyways? It goes beyond reason."
-- "The cave I reside in goes deep. The comfortable place where I sleep has a single opening large enough to see out of. This sole window gave me the ability to see her each day. It was the thing of beauty I saw each day in my ever monotonous life. I guess it just was a matter of time."
-- "Well you need to get over the desires of your heart. Forget about her. You must see how crazy it is."
-- "I do understand, but I still keep thinking about her. Whenever I'm not focusing on something, my mind seems to find its way to her somehow."
-- "Give it time. In time you will tire of thinking about her."
-- "I have waited. I have no calendar in my cave but the forest has gone through the seasons twice since my mind took favor of her."
-- "That is troubling but you're simply going to have to forget about it."
-- "I came to you for assistance in this matter not doubt."
-- "What could I possibly do?"
-- "You know as well as I do what you can do. You have enough books to fill your basement of shelves, but only one of those books has a solution."
-- "No. That book is not to be used. It's dangerous."
-- "It's your job."
-- "I don't do that kind of work anymore."
-- "That's a shame. I came here under the assumption that you were a man of answers and power. You're not who you used to be. What happened?"
-- "I set that kind of work aside."
-- "It's time to pick it up again."
-- "If you insist, I will."
-- "I do insist."
-- "So be it. Give me a few minutes."
-- The silence went on for about half an hour until the deep voice broke it. "Is everything ready?"
-- "I am. But you must know some important details about this first."
-- "Go on."
-- "The book says this will only last for one cycle of the moon. After that, its affects wear off."
-- "I understand. Thank you for your help with this. Let's get this over with."
