he never dreamed

He never dreamed he would become a ruler. Or a hero. His name…that was just a coincidence. After King Arthur and the knights of the round table…or something like that. Medical history he knew back to front. Other bits of history…he didn't care to know so well.

Still, he figured his parents had named him Arthur for no particular reason. Maybe it was a grandfather or a great-grandfather or something like that. Or they just liked the name. But not because of that King Arthur in the legends. Not because they'd known that, one day, he would preside over the entire world as the new Architect.

He'd never thought that. Never dreamt that. And he didn't know his parents well enough to know whether they had thought and dreamt it; they'd died when he was too small to remember them, and he had only photos and their wedding video to remember them by.

But now, his name seemed an awful lot like fate speaking, even back then.
