[color=708090]	 It was -- with a stifled yawn -- that Fudomine Academy's newest Librarian Aide, Margaret Gertrude Karp (better known as Maggie) set to shelving the last book on her cart: ‘[i]Lying Hearts and Dragon's Fire,[/i]’ the title read. Holding it, she read the summary, “[color=f26522]First-sight romance and hasty lies, burning up two hearts, awakens a vengeful dragon in the soul of a desperate princess, and sends a foolish priest on a fearful race for survival.[/color]” Maggie rolled her eyes, and shelved the book; she didn't have time for such farces of fancy.

Maggie didn't believe in love -- especially at first sight. It was simply beyond her, since the things she'd loved the most were ripped cleanly, yet sloppily, away from her at a young age; this level of allowing herself to simply trust was an immense hurdle to pass, in and of itself.

	Maggie's entire world flipped, as she took in, unknown to her, a fellow colleague upon the Student Council. For a moment, her breath held, hostage in her throat, as she stared at him; eyes wide, mouth gaping, heart pounding. Habitual panic started to gnaw at her, as he radiated danger unknown -- not threat, not death, but affection. In a single instant, the concept of “soulmates” clicked with her.

And, she didn't even know his name.

However, she knew to run.

Thus, she ran for the Student Council Room...
