Everyone is born with a blank slate. Everyone has a story waiting to be engraved on its solid finality. Every thought, every action, every word is carefully etched onto it. It is my duty to keep track of their fates, hence my name. If they choose to rely on my sister Destiny for their lives, I force them to choose a path.
You would think that I would be bored with this job after centuries of the same basic story: two people oblivious to the other's feelings, afraid of being hurt on a life-long quest for acceptance from peers or overbearing parents. Blah, blah, blah…But I have observed one quite enlightening fact: No story is ever the same.
He was just another boy born in a small town, perhaps destined for greatness. She was just another girl born in the same town as another anonymous face in the crowd. Destiny had doomed these wretches to an utterly boring, lonely existence and as Fate I seemed to agree with her. But appearances can be deceiving.
