A human woman, a knight who hunts dragons, finds a dragon trespassing in human territory. She demands to know why he is risking death there. He reveals he has searched twelve years for her, the human who saved him. He declares that dragons choose one mate for life and has come to claim her. She protests, citing her duty as a knight and the impossibility of their union, but he counters that her past mercy proves she doesn't truly believe dragons should be killed. He suggests they can try to be together, leaving her to confront this life-altering proposal.
