"Fate, Fate, fickle, fickle Fate, always messing with out lives, twisting us to her own needs, and playing out our stories again and again, for her own amusement."<br/><br/>"Clever, clever, but no. I was sealed away, locked in a prison, much like your nemesis, though for much, much longer. You have excellent choice in women, though; I was always jealous of your skill, there. You haven't met me, but, ahh, I've met you, many times, my old friend."<br/><br/>"Times? Times, oh, how I've lost count. Let's see... we first met in the age of Technology, though the rise of Power, then the Magic... then another cycle of each. So, yes, back to Magic, are we? Ahh... three times a cycle, although this is the second of this, and we met at the tail end of the first, so... this would be the fifteenth you I've met. The snake woman, though, she's relatively new. Only seven times. She skipped the third; I'm fairly sure she was experimenting a bit, there, as things got a little weird. Of course, that's just me. There could be more mes before, she's never said. She doesn't like me, after all, won't let me anywhere near her. Just makes me dance on her strings, ha ha ha."
