There are a lot of questions and interests about other worlds lately. I have one question that I'm interested in right now. [ Alright, Ankain you can do this. Forget about that scolding Obi-Wan voice in your head telling you that the future is always changing. ] Does your universe-- do you believe in fate?

[ Oh, great. It sounds like a load of bantha dung when he actually hears it out loud. Awkwardly: ]

Destiny.

[ That doesn't help, which is fine. It's fine. It goes against the Jedi teachings and feels wrong just saying it. Nevermind that things are different with each universe, so it can't be really applicable, right?

Whatever, roll with it.

He adds, without pause, a completely unnecessary definition. ]

That certain things needs to happen in the future.

Destinies would be a more apt word. There are . . . many paths, many branches in time. Prophecy can limit that, narrowing those options.

It can be good . . . for a little while, to achieve a certain outcome.

[sandhate]

[ he had down a damn definition, leto. stop it. ]

The way you put it... It sounds more like a matter of choice then destinies. You choose your fate.

[precedented]

We always have a choice. The heart of the matter is whether we are willing to soldier that choice, even when it gets difficult.

Love your choices. It is a beautiful thing.

[sandhate]

[ He thinks about punching Leto in the face for a second before deciding it would be a wasted effort. ]

Of course. Love my choices.

And if I make the wrong ones?

[precedented]

[ You'd just hurt your hand. Even the metal one. ]

Then you make the wrong ones. At least you are making them and not someone else in your stead.

[sandhate]

[ He considers that for a moment before speaking ] History repeats. Isn't that what they say.

Making the wrong ones. It opens a door for more mistakes.

[precedented]

They say a lot of things. That doesn't make them true.

[ Leto wants to laugh. Chosen Ones, prophecies and their own self-import, he thinks to himself, his lips curling. You'd think the universe would fall apart without them.

Isn't that right, Father? ]

And? It must be nice to live a life where you never make mistakes. Unfortunately, no such life exists.

[sandhate]

I can't afford these mistakes.

[precedented]

[ Blithely. ]

Then that will be your first mistake.

[sandhate]

[ Wow son.
