You Of All Beings Know How Fate Works. What Happened To You As A Human Happened Because Everyone From Your Parents On Down Tried To Circumvent What Was Supposed To Be – Which Ultimately Was The Destruction Of The Atlantean Pantheon. There Was No Changing That Prophecy. But The Way You Suffered Was Completely Unnecessary. Had Your Parents Embraced Their True Destiny, You Would Have Been Saved Years Of Torment. Fate Will Not Be Denied. We Can Sculpt It, But In The End We’re All Pawns To Our Final Destinies. Good, Bad, Or Indifferent. (savitar)
