As an author, I first met Daeg
during the height of a bloody civil war in the fantastical kingdom of Seodrass.
He was the leader of the knights and struggling to save his kingdom from an
evil tyrant. Though I saw a war-hardened veteran, I also felt he had a deep,
sensitive side to him. I decided to ask Daeg to help me give some advice to a
few people in our world regarding their romantic lives.
Me: Sir Daeg, thank you for helping
with this project.
Daeg: My pleasure, Person-I-Do-Not-Know.
Me: Let’s start with the first
dilemma. Dear Daeg, I am very conflicted and need help. I am a single woman who
recently started a new job. I work with a man I am very attracted to, but he’s
married. He seems very unhappy in his marriage. Do you think it would be okay if
I let him know I was interested in a relationship with him since he’s so
unhappy?
Daeg: No. Next question.
Me: Dear Daeg, I live in South
Carolina. I have recently been offered a music recording deal, but it would require
that I move to New York. I also just recently started dating a man. I think he
could be the one, but if I move, I’m sure it would kill the relationship. What
should I do?
Daeg: Are South Carolina and New
York close to each other?
Me: Not really. It’s expensive to fly
and driving would take an entire day.
Daeg: Your people can fly?
Me: Err, well we ride in vehicles
that fly so I guess.
Daeg: Amazing.
Me: Yeah, so what should she do?
Daeg: If she has only known this
person for a short period of time, she cannot truly know if she could love him
or not. Love requires an extensive courtship and time. She should accept the
deal. There will be other men.
Me:…
Daeg:…
Me:…
Daeg: What is it?
Me: You have no idea what’s about to
hit you.
Daeg: What do you mean by this?
Me: (averting my gaze) Nothing. Let’s
just move on to the last question.
Me: Dear Daeg, I recently found out
my husband has been having an affair. I am stunned. I need advice on how to
handle this situation. What do you recommend?
Daeg: (reaches into boot top and
produces a dagger) I call this one Derrine after one of the castle servants.
She looks delicate, but she is formidable. I am willing to loan this to you to
take care of this situation as long as you clean it before you return it.
Me:…
Daeg: (wicked grin)
Me: Welp, that’s it for now. Thanks,
Sir Daeg.
