Mayhaps! They can be mischievous like that!
"I will be the one to slay the beast!"
"Slay the beast? You are not a man of great strength, nor are you a knight, what chance do you have?"
"It has been foretold that one of my description would be the one to do it. Look upon the night sky and you will know I speak no lies. If is written in the stars, my love."
"Your love? I am not your love any longer, you cast aside love when you tried to pursue this dream of yours."
"You are my love still! We have been bonded by the strings of fate! We bathed together in the river Doren, drank from its waters under the moon on Serro's Eve, broken bread on the same eve surrounded by family and friends! Such bonds are not so easily forgotten! Nor are they cast aside or erased."
"That was the case, in times of old, but the ages have changed and now what once was considered sacred is but a memory, a small footnote in the scriptures of history."
"Bah! Do not speak to me of history! The writings that lie in those scriptures tell naught but lies, lies and slander! We who were there when these things happened know the truth, and we know the lies of these scriptures. Surely you have not forgotten what it was like, what it used to be? You and I have watched over countless kingdoms as they rose and fell! Why should this one be any different? Nay! Pray not tell tales of the scriptures of history! Look upon me and tell me, have you truly forgotten our love?"
"Do not speak of such things! I have not forgotten what it was like, but I know the world must change! If our kind is to survive, we must adapt with the times and embrace the new ways! To live in the past is folly! And in that folly, our demise!"
"Then perhaps we should allow our kind to end. Better that than to live the way of men."
"Surely you don't mean that! We have lived for eons, why should we end now, instead of learning new ways to survive?"
"Aye, I do mean it, and there is the reason; new ways to SURVIVE, not to LIVE. Why should we carry on if it's only to survive? We who have lived for so long, always with love and life in abundance? We who have stood before trials and tribulations, always coming out on top? Nay, we should not embrace the new order if all that we gain from it is 'survival'."
