Our lives are not our own. We live them for our parents or for ideals. If we live them for wants we are selfish sure but those things end up controlling us more wholly than our friends and family ever could. I wish I had a choice, I wish I could truly choose what my destiny would be but if there is anything I have learned traveling along with a magician and the daughter of time travelers its that destiny is the greatest manipulator of all. It's all going to end someday and there's nothing we can do about it. All the bad things about this world, it was inevitable. Since god made Adam the human race has been slowly inching forward to extinction by its own hand. There's a line from Fight Club that sums it up perfectly, "on a long enough time line the survival rate for everyone drops to zero". That is our fate, our destiny, to die in the hail fire of the nukes when one country decides they're pissed off enough that the world will feel their fury. That they are tired of being looked down on and will take what is theirs. The sad part is, they don't have a choice. It's their destiny isn't it? They are just pawns in the grand scheme of things.
What I am doing, maybe it's destiny or maybe I'll be spitting in the face of god. That's what they call a win for both sides, either I am finally able to make some lasting change in this world or it was destined to happen anyway. In the event of my death, Nico, I love you. I wish things could have worked out and betraying you hurt me to no end. I am sorry for my deception. This message is meant for all of my fellow runaways. You truly were my friends and I hope even as I'm writing this that I failed and you guys survived and will read this. To my parents, I wish things could have gone differently. Nico, if I die, do not try to resurrect me. In any event I'm sure the spell won't work, it's fate after all. Chase you were like my brother. Karolina, you I hope that you've been able to get past your insecurities and enjoy life. To Molly, you are a really cool kid; Wolverine would be a lucky guy if you got hitched. To Gert, your parents… when I was reading the Yorkes copy of the abstract I learned that they knew of you're the impending events but were unable to act, I won't go into detail but, they did love you, I'm sorry. I guess this is kind of a will now so I've attached a code to help decipher the abstract. Nico…
"ALEX!!" shouted Nico, "We've got to hurry if we want to stop the rite of thunder". "Sure", he said, "I'll be right there".
And the boy left to find his fate, his message has not yet been found.
