"Yes, correct. Fate can lead you down only one path. If you have changed the path, you have changed fate. Say, I leap off a building, and you grabbed my legs. Some people would have seen it that I was not fated to die, but if you ask me, you would have averted my fate of certain death by pulling me back. Anyone can change fate ... it's just the degree. Mortals cannot ignore their own deaths, nor can they deviate from what has been predicted by the scrolls. A Fontaine just has more degrees of freedom" said Emilia, continuing to lean back.

Rather than being a layman, who can only pull leaves or flowers from a tree, a Fontaine like me is a garderner ... who can plant or weed trees and plants out as we see fit. That's the only difference between myself and any other citizen. You should be someone who can defy fate, given your powers were granted by a pentagon of Daedric Princes. Five Pacts. Like mine."

"My sister always has plans, and can see them through, but she isn't always the one with the best plan.

I have a feeling she already did something stupid" sighed Aeorin, as his tone turned serious.

"I wouldn't always trust Iori's brain to carry us all through the hard times. There's too much information she hasn't planned for, such as Freya being the Imperial Princess, and factors such as the powers of the elder council. If Iori had more information, she wouldn't be taking so many shots in the dark. There's a reason why people consider my planning better than hers..."
