,Fjò*Sródfw¢ ZÔ`ö*j ) ¡In the far corner of the tavern, you spotted this extremly ugly old woman. People avoid her in a wide circle, but she don't seem to care... She looks very sad and... lost. You could almost feel sorry for her, if only she's not so ugly.-Hey old witc.. þþ woman! Why are you so sad?-Why do you care? Get away from me!-Yeah! You're right, old hag! I don't care! You're so ugly that you could destroy the castle just looking at it! HAAA HA HAAAA HAAAAA!-Why wouldn't I care! I care for anyone who needs help!-Really?.. Yes! Maybe you COULD help me!-What's your story, old woman?-First of all, my name is Gedryn and I'm not so old as I look. But, let's start from the beginning. þÿMy story is long and sad... þNot so long ago I was young and beautiful, and I just Transited to the third level of magic. Nobody in the world got so high in rune casting at my age. And there was an old and ugly wizard. She was very old, very jealous at me and very, very powerful...-Hmm, I thought that the great magicians are too smart for such feelings as jealousy... I guess you never know..-Do not interrupt me! Where was I?þþ Ahhh, yes. And so she put a spell on me and stole my beauty! I will be ugly as long as I don't find a real man who we'll kiss me, but the kiss has to come from his heart... Do you know anyone who's man enough to help me?-Yes, of course!-No. I don't believe you. Goodbye old hag!-Hey you.... yes you behind that screen.... What do you think I am?!? A Lesbian?!? Let's go from here!-No! There's no way I'll kiss this old witch! I'd die first! Let's go from here!-Ahh, what the hell! She is a woman in trouble, after all. I just hope that the kiss won't turn me to frog, or something!Vantan leaned towards the old woman and... kissed her. Of course, nothing happened. But the old lady didn't seem to be satisfied! She said:-No, no, no! I told you that the kiss have to come from the heart! You'll have to kiss me again, but this time, for real, you know... like lovers do!-No way! You already got one kiss to many! Goodbye!-Hmm. I guess I didn't really tried... All right, here it goes!This time Vantan concentrated and he kissed her with all the barbarian passion and all the romance of a real man... At first, nothing happened, but then, you just couldn't believe your eyes!-Thank you Vantan! You're the man I've been searching all my life! Take me and I'll follow you to the end of the world!-Hello again. Have you found anyone who will help me?
