I met a dragon in the dark; this was our conversation.
Can I ask you a few questions?
                                                Ask away.
What do you fear?
                                      The most present danger.
Illness?
                          No.
Death?
            No.
How, how can you not worry?
                                              I don't know. I just live on.
Do you fear the darkness?
                                              I am the darkness.
Do you fear being alone?
                                              I have always been alone.
Do you fear being forgotten?
                                              What is memory?
Immortality, of course.
                                            Is it really?

...
  No. Everyone dies.
                                          Why do you fear?
I don't know. It's how I live.
                                            Do you fear death- or darkness?

No.
                                            Come with me and you will not be forgotten.
...

                                      Come with me and you will no longer be alone.
Let's go.
