"Not that I know of ... other than Freya here actually being an Imperial princess" said Aeorin.

"They are keeping quiet, and only attacking in the same manner as they always did. I know the Emperor is planning something, but what he wants I do not know."

"Free from the hand of fate? That isn't something I can answer even if it is what our ancestors tell me. While it is impossible for the Elder Scrolls to predict the future of a Fontaine, and we can even avert a future written in one of the scrolls, it really depends on what you define as Fate" said Emilia, as she leaned against the cherry tree.

"You could say some things a Fontaine has is fated, such as how we are born into this family, or how we only acquire one power, and cannot change our powers no matter how we try. It wouldn't be a lie if I said that we were born due to the circumstance of fate. But the moment our power awakens, we are free from what many would see as fate, because we can rewrite it, and deny supposed destinies."

Emilia looked directly at Cecil and continued "however, this is under the assumption that fate is a single path, as most people see it. If you are a clairvoyant mage, this is probably true for you. But if one thinks that fate is a multi path system, with many ending possibilities, and one can see all those possibilities, then we cannot be said to have escaped fate. Although being a Fontaine, rather than following the most likely possibility, as a mortal does, we can choose which path we want to take ... or even draw a new path if we want."

"In the end, it's really a chicken or egg problem. Fontaines are fated to defy fate, or is it because we defy fate which is why our destiny is already written by our own hand? I don't know."
