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.

It's difficult not to believe it when they haven't once been incorrect.

[a pause]

That's difficult to say. They enjoy trickery, so what they say can often be misleading. If it were something I didn't wish to happen... I would hope that what they predicted had a happier interpretation.

You would go on hoping for a different answer when you already got one that you know can't be wrong.

Then you don't truly believe, do you? You believe them, as long as it suits you.

[bloodbiter]

No, I believe what they say will happen. But often, how it will happen and when it will happen is unknown, and there are often multiple ways to interpret what they have said.

[sandhate]

[ He's reminded of his lessons. Ways to interpret meaning from the Force. It doesn't bring up any good memories, really. He's always struggled with this aspect of his teachings. ]

And multiply ways to be wrong, I'm sure.

What are these creatures like? Humanoid?
