A woman confronts the dragon who jumped from a great height to save her, protesting his reckless act. He declares her as his destined mate and insists she must be his dragon knight alone. She resists, arguing their different lifespans make such a bond unthinkable. He reveals the bond would make her live as long as he does and vows not to outlive her, confessing his devotion stems from her saving him from a trap twelve years prior.
