Gulping slightly, Raiden got up and went to the board. Lessons. Lessons. There was a definite one, but there had to be more than that...

Lessons in the tale "The Warlock's Hairy Heart:

Trying to avoid feeling anything will, in the end, backfire and end up hurting you even more.

Invulnerability may seem like a good thing, but it really wouldn't be.

To quote from the past, 'To hurt is as human as to breathe'. Take that away, and you're not very human.

The thing you view as a weakness (i.e. the Warlock views his friends falling in love as them falling prey to a weakness) will probably in the end be the greatest strength.

Using dark magic to sever your heart from the rest of your body is probably not in your best interests.

Don't cut out your heart in an attempt to become invulnerable and then put it back in years and years later to prove to a lady that you have a heart. You'll probably both die.

He turned away from the board, blushing a bit at not being able to find more lessons in the story he liked so much, and then, raising his hand just a tiny bit, he answered the question being asked.

"Miss Crazy Lady Bloxam got the living daylights scared out of her when she overheard her auntie telling her cousins this story... she said it was an accident, but I've fallen against keyholes by accident and I don't stay there long enough to hear whole faerie tales," he said doubtfully. "But apparently, because it scared her so much, she didn't try to rewrite it."

Thank Merlin.

He went back to his seat and sank into it, face still pink from embarrassment over not being able to figure out more lessons in the tale.
