“What the fates have writ, men shall not erase . . . . How many times he [Lut] had uttered those words. But what exactly did they mean? That one’s fate was inalterably fixed? A man’s entire life? Was there no chance for redemption? Though he had never revealed this to anyone, especially not the elders, he’d long entertained the notion that perhaps not all of a man’s life was preordained. For, if so, what was the point of living? Perhaps, just perhaps, he dared to imagine, impediments were placed in our paths by the gods, and a man was judged by how well he dealt with those obstacles . . . . Instead of a man being wholly defined by his fate, perhaps a man’s very character was defined by his response to the fate that was spun for him. Couldn’t it at least be possible?”

“Le pâle sourire d’Ysaëlle fut sa seule réponse, l’accord muet taisant les élans protecteurs de son cœur. Nul à Bron ne souhaitait voir le bon peuple d’Ethyr abandonné aux cruautés du sort. Les temps à venir seraient difficiles ; la guerre, fatalité mêlée de domination et de deuils, c’était dans l’esprit du peuple d’Ethyr le manque, la terreur, les maladies, la douleur et l’agonie. Déjà, sa pensée doutait que la quête d’Axys, même couronnée de succès, puisse changer le sort qui avait frappé le royaume par la venue du Khazrug. Déjà, elle sentait poindre le regret et la peur, souhaitant que Célian restât auprès d’elle, sa seule famille. Néanmoins, Ysaëlle ne fit part de son trouble à personne, ne voulant pas décourager le groupe sur le départ par un simple pressentiment.”
