Treyliu's Journal Entry: The Love of Fate
Added Wed Jul 18 18:59:22 2012 at level 51:

They call me the Kingpin, the irony of which is not lost- as it seems the
winds would bring me wealth whether I seek it or not. So this is my fate. So
be it. So I would will it. And so it is.

Yet with wealth and notoriety also comes certain costs, it seems.

I often wonder about the aspects of my fate that Lord Fjarn has foretold. As
the time has passed, it has become increasingly clear to me what was meant. I
would have an easy life, but my choices would make it exceedingly difficult.
I would seek love, yet I would find hate...

Just as the winds bring me gold and treasures, friends and great adventures-
the winds also seem to carry all manner of life's beasts to hunt me down-
wyverns and gorillas and lions and nightmares coming from the air itself.
They bring me nearly constant struggles and warfare, enemies that do not
understand the many ways in which our destinies are interwoven and evil
creatures with no honor guiding their souls.

Yet I continue to do all that I can to embrace my fate, with the winds of the
balance as my guide. And I do love the winds just as I love to watch the
ocean waves and the falcons soar in the breeze- and yet so often the return
for my love is cruelness and brutality.

There times I feel that the winds hate me, yet I can only press on and keep a
certain faith. Perhaps I am being tested. Perhaps this is all part of my
destiny. I put myself up against the strongest forces and I trust the winds
to guide my blade- and so often the winds guide my enemies to victory
instead. I know not why things are the way that they are.

Am I not attuned properly? Is my faith not sincere? In my heart I know this
is not the case as I still feel a love for the winds. My faith perseveres. I
embrace my fate. I love my fate with open wings despite the hate and
hardships that it entails. I press on toward my destiny.
