"Of course, you certainly wouldn't know, your mother has spent the past decade trying to free you from the destiny foretold by prophecy."
"...Why?"
"'Destiny brings forth the hero, who will use themselves as a torch to illuminate the path for all,' said the Divination Master. If you've met them, you know they're always shrouded in mystery, speaking words that are hard to understand."
The ancient tree paused, then continued, "It seems your mother believes the hero in the prophecy will sacrifice themselves, just like in those epic tales of heroes... It appears your mother doesn't want you to become a hero; rather, she hopes you grow up happily and peacefully, but life seldom goes as planned, doesn't it?"
The ancient tree's gaze was filled with profound meaning.
The predetermined fate cannot be defied; no matter how one resists, the prophesied person will return to the correct path at the proper time.
