In a twist the spirit (eventually called Fafnir in the True End) doesn't actually want to do so (since she sees Sable as a beloved father) and helps aid Sable is avoiding possession even at the cost of her own life.

Added DiffLines:

* ObliviousToLove: Sable isn't focused on romance and repeatedly fails to notice when others are. It's not so bad in the main game but by ''Man And Elf'' and ''A Dragon's Treasure'' his inability to pick up on, respectively, Lisha or Drakan's intentions is becoming frustrating to everyone around him.

* MayflyDecemberRomance: A problem faced by the long-lived elf Lisha and the ''very'' long-lived half-dragon Drakan in their relationship with the human Sable in their respective routes and stand alone games. [[spoiler: Solutions are found in the stand alone games in both cases; Lisha reveals that the elven equivalent of marriage increases the lifespan of the parties involved and with a human it would do little for her but bring Sable up to an elven life expectancy while Drakan's mother uses a dangerous magical artefact to imbue Sable with draconic qualities including increasing his lifespan (though, being the TricksterMentor she is, she hasn't told either Sable or Drakan by the end of the game).]]
