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.

What do you mean... demanded?

The world needs a savior when calamity appears. No one else can do what the Shepherd does. And if he fails in his duties, well...

[He rolls his shoulders invisibly.]

The world is destroyed, I guess.

[sandhate]

[ Snorts ] Oh, you guess.

How does your world select the "Shepherd"?

[sylphystia]

We try to make sure that doesn't happen, obviously.

[A pause.]

As long as you have the determination to make a pact and the ability to see seraphim, then you can be a Shepherd. There used to be a whole bunch of them.

[sandhate]

So, there's more than one. Or there was.

[ Dryly ] I don't suppose there wasn't a need for them anymore and they gave up that role?

[sylphystia]

Humans got busy with their lives and forgot about the lords of the land. When they stopped believing, they stopped being able to see us.

Sorey and Mikleo are the ruin nerds, so they could tell you more. I'm more concerned with the present.
