I've chased Cassandra for millennia, though she's denied me and our bonding. I'd have given up long ago, if her resentful love didn't seep through our connection.

Now she's finally conceded to be mine, but at what cost? I don't want to own her because of a bet; I want her to accept what she feels for me. What we are to each other. What we have.

All I'm asking is for a chance to win her over. If I fail, I'm prepeared to forfeit the bond and my existence.
