Prologue: Yesteryear

"Why are you here?"
"I want to make a deal…"
"A deal you say? What kind of deal?"
"An important one. Sort of."
"Sort of?" A pause. "This is another of your games, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"Artemureus."
"Finn."
"What do I have to do?"
"Sign here."
"Helpful Artemureus. Really helpful."
"What did you expect? A care package? A fuzzy blanket?"
"What does it say?"
"Interesting question."
"No, you're just crazy."
"I'm not denying that."
"Just tell me. So I can sign it, and leave."
"Why such a hurry?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that I just LOVE spending time with sarcastic and cynical bastards, I guess I'll be staying then."
"Good to hear it."
"Get on with it Artemureus."
"Don't rush me."
"Artemureus."
"Finn."
"Artemureus."
"Finn."
"I don't have time for this. Tell me, or I walk."
"You'll
regret it."
"We'll never know, will we?"
"Alright, alright. Here's the deal. Your second great-grandchild will marry my first. No matter what the age gap."
"Any reason for this?"
"Not particularly."
"Remind me why we do this?"
"Amusement."
"Right. Amusement. We wont even be around then."
"Not my problem."
"Alright Artemureus, what's the catch?"
"Catch? What makes you think there would be a catch? Have I ever done such a thing?"
"Hmm… Let me think."
"No answer necessary."
"Didn't think so."
"Fine. If your child disagrees, all the fortune and estate shall be mine and vice versa. But if they both disagree, all the money and property is forfeited to the Ministry."
"You're crazy."
"We've already been there. Are you in?"
"I guess. Have I told you you're crazy?"
"Many times my friend, many times."
"I'm sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your friend."
"Finn."
"Artemureus."
"Finn."
"Fine. Give it here."
"Gladly."
"Why do we do these things?"
"Amusement, my friend. Amusement."
