[A strange silver chalice appears on the table. Rather than being round, its lip is shaped like a heart -- and filled with cold, clear water.

"Can a creature exist without a heart? Perhaps you know the answer, little heroes. The white swan asks for a symbol of love, but the black -- she must have all of your heart or nothing at all."]

WHITE SWAN: Symbol of love (poem, song, drawing, profession of love, whatever. be creative!)
BLACK SWAN: Heart (character becomes listless, cold, and unwell.)

[As always, you may choose either option, leave, or attempt something different.]
