Destiny brought them together, and it's destiny that will tear them down. They were destined to be great, to unite a people and to lead a nation to glory. But their fall, too, is written, for those who care to read it. They'll be unraveled by betrayals layered one over the other, starting even before the beginning of the golden years that will propel them all into legend.
There's nothing to do but huddle together, listening for the tread of destiny approaching. They all recognize the end, when it comes. They stand and greet it together. After a lifetime of dreams and magic and secrets, there's dignity in this death. They submit to it, and in doing so, help to preserve the greatest secret of all: that sorcerer and kings and knights though they are, justice and virtue and power though they represent- they never could quite fill out their selves of legend.
But oh! What a legend they will make.
