So you say you have a wish. One True Desire. And, of course, you call on me. Because that's the way it works. Well, some might say you've earned it. Traveled far... Fought hard... Killed many... So many... All searching for Their One True Desire. But it seems you came out on top. One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Sparkling in the sun And now here I am Because that's the way it works. So you've Succeeded Won Defeated All who's goal you shared. You'll get no praise from me, Champion. I'm simply here to grant you Your One True Desire. Because that's the way it works. So what'll it be? Money? Fame? Love? Power? I haven't got all day. Tell me Your One True Desire So I may sleep once more Because that's the way it works. Well there you are, Champion. Your One True Desire. And those cursed, blessed trinkets To which I have been bound Scatter, and sparkle no more. Give to me my year of sleep Before you begin your search anew (I know you will.) To ask for your next One True Desire Because that's the way it works. So I take my leave, But I'll see you again, Champion. Not you, perhaps, but you're all the same. Traveling far... Fighting hard... Killing many... And calling on me For Your One True Desire... Because that's the way it works.
