The tale:
1
Long there was a pair of lovers. He was handsome, and she was brilliant. She was displaced from time, and he was a wild magician. They loved one another in the time of the Dark Ages, a dangerous and unpredictable era.

2
The man found a crystal deep within a cave. It glowed from within with a rosy light, and filled his eyes with its beauty. He thought to himself, “this is the only thing that can match my love, and so it must be made hers.”

3
He gave the crystal to his love, and she took it in her hands. In an instant, though the man did not know it, she was taken and imprisoned within the crystal. Something with rose-light in its eyes took her place within the world.

4
The false woman was possessive and hungry, and demanded love and food and comfort from the man, more and more all the time while the woman within the crystal beat upon the walls of prison she had found herself in.

5
The man found he had grown intelligent, thanks the knowledge his true love had taught him. He saw the falsehood of the rosy-eyed creature. And to survive in the rose prison, the woman found she had to grow wild like her love.

6
She survived by tooth and nail and wild magic, beating back the creatures within the prison, while the man snared the false echo of his love in a cunning trap of artifice. By the fusion of their talents, they defeated the echo.

7
The man sent the echo screaming back into its prison, while the woman clawed her way free of the rose prison. Together they shattered the beautiful temptation of the crystal, pledging never to part again.
