· TO EVERYONE ·

[carmesi]

Several moons ago when we first headed into Nocwich, there was a fortune teller named Lady Elin. I'm sure many of us went to her tent to have our fortunes read. Perhaps you've forgotten what it was she said. I know divination is met with a lot of skepticism.

Would you be willing to share your fortune with me, if you remember it? I'd like to know if it relates to anything in your life, whether it be from your time before Abraxas or since being summoned.

[and because you cannot expect something without putting yourself on the line...]

She would say "I see" and "you hold a tie to". For me, it was 'many lost souls under the night sky' and 'old lands that find new roots'. It makes me think of my home country. Many hundreds of thousands died because of the war waged in it. The country no longer exists.

I don't want to bore you with more details, but that is my basic interpretation of it.

Even if it could be pretty personal, thank you for reading this. I'm just being curious. If you want to talk privately, my name is Wanda.

The second part could be promising? Putting roots down is never a bad thing.

[carmesi]

I certainly don't see it as a bad thing, but maybe I just find it hard to believe that it could become a reality in the near future. Perhaps it is to say that my people are to put roots down in the other countries they've found asylum in.

[chosenfordarkness]

What if it's talking about your people here?

I don't know how much stock I put into their fortunes. I've had enough of people dictating my life.

[carmesi]

We all know our stay in Abraxas is hardly permanent. Long-lasting, sure, but...

[how many have left without a word?]

Would you humor me if you remember what you got, at least?

[chosenfordarkness]

Truthfully, I wouldn't mind if it were. I'm rather comfortable here.

She said she saw a flame between two walls of stone. And that I hold a tie to bridges between unstable ground.

[what if there was a spell to keep them all here? her magic could encompass such heavy toll, but—

hm.

he's giving her much to think about.]

[carmesi]

Does any of that hold any significance to you?

[chosenfordarkness]

Somewhat.

Back home there was this prophesy about bringing balance. This is a little too similar for my own liking.

[carmesi]

I am also not a fan of prophecies.
Was this prophecy one that came to pass for you?

🔒

[chosenfordarkness]

In a way, yes.

🔒

[carmesi]

[so... yes?]

Well, maybe the fortune won't really hold any real weight while here. I'm just trying to figure out if they do, and if so — to what extent.

🔒

[chosenfordarkness]

Perhaps not the way they wanted it to go.

I certainly hope it doesn't. I don't like the implication that someone not from our worlds having jurisdiction over our fates, no matter how insignificant.

🔒

[carmesi]

After what happened last, we don't really get a say on what or who has a jurisdiction on our fates. The idea of being able to divert from that is more important, I think.

🔒

[chosenfordarkness]

Unless the diversion is also connected to our fate. Until proven otherwise, maybe it's better to assume it's not quite so rigid.

For our own sanity.

[carmesi]

You might be right.

What's your name, by the way? I don't remember ever talking with you before.

Anakin Skywalker. I'm in Thorne.
