Played By Fate Novels & Stories

"The more you try to fight fate, the more it comes back to bite you in the back." "I disagree with that," I said sharply. The words came out more forcefully than I'd intended, but I didn't care. "I was murdered in my first life in cold blood. This second chance I have had... I have changed things. I have defied fate." Dayo shook her head again. "Fate is like energy. It cannot be created nor can it be destroyed. The wheel turns, but the wind, situation, and road will determine which direction and the speed at which it turns. You cannot defy fate. You can only pass it to another or push it forward."

I look through her. The Veil has split over the mortal forest. The edges writhe like exposed nerve. Light and shadow fuse into a colour no god has ever named. When the voice comes, the Mirror hums so violently that the gold inlay on the table rattles like teeth. > “THE FIRE WILL CHOOSE ITS END.” The god of war’s iron fist dents wood. The goddess of oaths flinches. The Pale Judge doesn’t blink. If it were just Fate, I would know where to stand. Fate is the architect that hides its chain in the mortar. Fate is the law you hate but still obey.

There was something in his eyes—something that made the fire within me coil with curiosity. I had expected fear. I had expected terror. But he wasn’t afraid. And then, the king stood, lifting his goblet high, his voice booming across the courtyard. “Tonight, we celebrate the beginning of our kingdom’s future! A future free from the darkness cast by the last dragon’s shadow!” The crowd erupted into cheers. Goblets clashed together. Laughter rang out. I growled. Fools. Did they not realize their enemy hovered above them? Enough. Time had come.

'Soon, we'll see her,' He growls, his voice sounding deep. 'Soon.' That also means we get closer to having her make a decision. It feels like fate doesn't want us together, as ever since we met, she has always had to make decisions that border on ending our relationship or moving on with it. There are a lot of boundaries surrounding us, and it feels like the closer we get to breaking one, the farther it pushes away from us. I feel Thane's excitement die down as we get to the floor, and just like that, the trail I was following disperses. It leaves me wondering if I had just imagined her scent because I wanted to find her badly.

“I've answered the question with the ghouls so what else do you want to know.” “You still owe me an explanation that.” Catalina said as a matter of fact. “Very well then. Charles what is your question?” Fate looked at me, from above us, scrolls were sorting themselves out and selecting a few. The chosen ones floated down to the table and arranged itself. Catalina stared with wide eyes. “Why did you create her? Can her fate not be changed? Is there something she can do to save the world if her fate can't be changed?” Fate’s eye shifted from Catalina to I then back to Catalina. “I will take her first so she won't be grumpy and ruin her pretty face.”

His car still smelled of him, like some expensive car freshener, and Khyle was already growing oddly fond of it. _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> He had a growing feeling that fate was sitting back on her high and mighty ass, clutching her stomach and laughing hysterically at the both of them. _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> Well, Khyle didn't believe that fate was something set in stone. He believed that for the most part you made your own fate, shaped the course of your own destiny. Even when the world seemed to have other plans, you always had choices. You had to stay the course for the things you really wanted, fight for your dreams.

And that was precisely what the great Goddess of the Luna feared. Because in the game of life and power, there were secrets that would be revealed—secrets that surpassed fate itself. And if there was one thing the Great Goddess had learned, it was that you could not defy fate. “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,” she said. “Our players are doing their part, but we have no idea what might actually happen. Often, fate plays at being so unpredictable that even we gods tremble.”

) Asha is guiding the flow of the battle by giving commands. Fylgja, the weakest of them, was injured by one of Dómr’s ice crystal magic. Forsjá immediately pulled her back to take cover at their battle formation, healing Fylgja’s wounds with her magic. As Dómr shoots more ice crystals, strangely, some ice crystals missed their targets and some breaks to pieces before they could reach them. It seems Felix and Fortuna defended them with their good and bad luck manipulation ability. Since his magic failed to land his target, Dómr shifted to close combat by lunging towards their formation— and was blocked by Pearl’s invisible body.

The alpha's grinned widened, "precisely." "That's impossible. Fate gives you one person you're mated to. Or destined to be with. This can't happen. " The alpha shrugged again, a gold coin spinning easily between his knuckles. "Fate fucked up."

Chase the ordinary life you want." And then black out.
