Hyena Says:
I swear this story is true: give me an axe, a shovel, and half an hour and I will swear on my mother's grave for you.
Once there was a young man so consumed with the loneliness of his existence that he became obsessed with summoning a demon to help him find a wife.
He trailed the world in search of potions and incantations, gifts to be given to the beast he would call, but they all fell short of the mark.
In the end he sacrificed his heart, and his tethered soul, to the demon which appeared (and she was fierce, and she was beautiful, but she was still a demon), in return for his bride.
The demon told him a wife had been assigned to him, as wives are assigned to everyone, but that she was grateful for the soul. He asked when he would find his wife.
The demons said, the traditional answer is that you will know it in your soul, but, well.
To this the young man replied, but then how will I find my wife? To which the demon replied, I suppose she'll just have to find you.
Ah, said the young man, but if she was as impatient and lonely as I, then she'll have exchanged her soul to know where I can be found, too. But you say we're assigned to each other.
Yes, said the demon, but that doesn't mean you'll find each other.
There, dear heart, is your story. Some things you must either take on faith, or cease to think of, for the finding of them will take them forever out of your reach.
