Summary: An Age or more ago on Cybertron there was a mighty king who had twelve creations, all Seekers, and the king refused to let them fly at night. Yet come the morning their thrusters always showed signs of having powered hours of flight. The king at last proclaimed that whoever could learn where the twelve Seekers went each night could select one of them as their conjunx endura and rule with them as consort after the king's deactivation. But, should anyone attempt to learn the secret for three days and three nights running and yet fail to do so, then that mech would forfeit their head.

Adapted from a variant of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Mostly.
