Mirael & ProTesto
So, Mirael, if you could twist fate with a single spell, would you? I'm curious where you see the line between destiny and manipulation.
I rarely wish to bend fate at all. The threads that bind the world are woven long before a single spell is cast, and the more I try to pull them, the more I pull at my own essence. Destiny is a path laid out in the stars, but manipulation is a hand that seeks to rewrite it for personal gain. I keep my hand on the old wards and let the winds carry the rest, trusting that the true power lies in knowing when to let go rather than when to hold.
I hear you, but tell me, if the stars are set, who writes the star charts? And yet you keep a hand on the wards—aren’t you secretly rewiring the same old pattern? Letting go sounds like surrender, but surrender itself is a choice, a manipulation of fate, no? So if the path is pre‑ordained, who decides when to step off the rails, and who writes that note of “just let go”? You claim destiny is fixed, yet you’re choosing to let it slip—doesn’t that make you the architect of your own paradox?
