  • A precious object without the strength to protect it is easily taken. Strength without something to protect is easily wasted.

My dearest friend, anonymous writ,
I'm never short of rhyme or wit

That which is not known is not known
For lack of knowledge's application
So one must go in on their own
Else reach the wrong destination
For if you seek to go in lost, you cannot have illumination
Else you go to someplace known, and plans fall to ruination.

Mentions of fate and bravery
Are of little interest to me
WHen the skies sing it's in Harmony
To the songs I play in my key
I'm no hero who seeks to be immortalized
I am the one who writes of them
My immortality comes from my song
And the hopes that you will sing along.

Fen the Fun Faun,
Singing Satire of a Satyr

The next two songs you forced us to sing are sung, fates are rewritten.

What other fates do you intend on changing? There are more songs to sing- do you leave those choices up to the singers or will you force our hands once again?

I was not forced.

I had a hundred thousand moments where I could have chosen differently.

Just because there might not be a truly good outcome does mean there is not still a choice.

An arani declared the song would be sung. That means there wasn’t a choice.

Why does the Arani not just intervene directly? They could have, just as easily changed these fates in the way the song did and by saying we will sing these songs, they more or less committed the effects of these songs to happen. However, as far as I know (please correct me if I am wrong), Arani cannot imbue...songs with their abilities.

However, Arani aren't the only race connected to fate are they?
There is hardly any information on them but Ordrim also have some sort of connection to Fate.

So, as I prepare to try and use how I changed fate to rescue someone I care about; these questions still spins in my brain:

Why does it take two beings capable of manipulating fate to accomplish this goal?
Why these subjects? How do these subjects connect to the larger picture?
Cennius, seemed to know the song was about him? Were these subjects aware of their connection? If not, how did Cennius know this song would help him?

Don't get me wrong, I am usually one to spit in the fact of not having a choice, but I'm now fully interested in the motivation behind this all and if only by singing the songs we will find out how these seemingly random players are acting upon this stage of fate, I think we should ensure that they are sung.
