Page "Mort" Paragraph 4

When it is a princess ' time to die ( according to a preconceived reality ), Mort, instead of ushering her soul, saves her from death, dramatically altering a part of the Discworld's reality.

However, the princess, for whom Mort has a developing infatuation, does not have long to live, and he must try to save her, once again, from a seemingly unstoppable death.

Both the princess and Mort end up consulting the local wizard, Igneous Cutwell, for various methods of assistance with the crisis.
