The old witch told me that I couldn't escape the curse. That it was my Fate. I knew a secret she didn't. We each have our own Fate tied to our souls. I know how to loosen that knot. Now I'll keep swapping these Destinies until i find one I want. Maybe I'll just keep a few of them to myself.
That leaves someone out there with no Fate at all. No oath etched in the stars & preordained. I'm not brave enough to do that. Too much freedom. Freedom to achieve greatness, but also to fail.
