Royal Blood. Raven's Heart. Part 2

"We are all prisoners of fate. But sometimes eras arrive, great eras when the world changes. Look closely, and you will see the signs. You will see how people rise above their destinies, and even the gods bow before their power, before the voluntary and reckless sacrifices in the name of another. How the struggle continues to the last drop of blood, to the last breath and death in defiance — and fate retreats, and the preordained breaks. This never happens by chance. Look. Observe. Remember. This only happens when the world has already cracked and those are needed who will sew it together again."
