Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 5684904" data-attributes="member: 6669384">Consider a variation on the Green Knight's challenge.It's a simple contract:  You cut my head off, and then I cut yours off.  Once this is done, you may proceed.In Arthurian mythos, several knights accepted the challenge, thinking that the Green Knight was a fool.  He'd be dead once his head was cut off, wouldn't he?  Of course, he picked up his head and promised to be back in a month to collect his half of the deal.  And, of course, the knight who took the deal was nowhere to be found.In the Arthurian version, a young squire was knighted specifically so he could face the challenge.  And to the surprise of everyone he was there when the time came.  Then the Green Knight found himself in a quandry.  He'd been searching for a truly honest and honorable man, and he'd finally found one.  And at that point he had to admit he'd been bested, for he himself was the one who couldn't keep the bargain.  He couldn't bring himself to kill the only honest and honorable man he'd ever found.Of course, the LN Dragon need not have any such issue.  You want to save the world, you have to pay the price.</blockquote>
