The Caged Game

"Do you know why the river outside Turan City is called the River of Romance? Because so many romantic stories have unfolded in this city. So many talented men and beautiful women, so many famous beauties and renowned generals. Late at night, beneath a bright full moon, they drifted along the river in a boat. When they looked into each other's eyes, they shone brighter than the moonlit waters outside the boat. They thought theirs would be a story unlike anyone else's. The river rippled, its sound like the measured beat of a water clock. Dawn came, and the dream ended." Theme: "I insist on pursuing it."
