“The phenomenon of pair bonding has long been misunderstood. It is neither a matter of fate nor of romantic entanglement. The magic does not choose their bearers based on love or longing, but rather on resonance; on two minds, two souls that call to each other in ways unseen. It is a bond of compatibility, of understanding, but it holds no inherent sway over the heart.” Citing ‘Legends of the Realm’ by Trella Thumbwig, 1263.
