FOR THE COUNCILLOR ONLY

What can you really know of magick?

As we come up from the ground to be wise-men walking, magick was there to keep us humble. Some men chose to live by their pride and fear. For that, magick shunned them and they watched their empires rise and fall in darkness.

We went about making our own way.

That way’s come with sacrifices. Magick ain’t nothing but sacrifice. Power, love, riches -- all is forfeit to fate if some bigger end’s to be had.

(Tell me, D… Whose ends do you think fate’ll see through?)

Magick can do a great many things in the right hands, but no man can do all. Even for the best bred or the most well-read, some things are far too much for one man to bear.

And some… Some are chosen for more.

But magick or no, gifts are sometimes put into hands that’s ill-made for them. Sometimes, we’re to sit and weather storms while the elements rage on around us. And sometimes, we’re wise to remember that strife ain't but a season -- a notch on the wheel.

All I know is this:

Fate has chosen her child. A friend comes bearing the face of a stranger. A witch will scour the valley and scale the mountains in search of the truth. The daughter of the Lake comes to meet destiny and Eren must be ready to greet her…

Else, Eren is lost.
