Paradise Violated
"Actually Chief, we're no longer part of the Terran Empire. I have seen the corruption of it and want no more part of it."
"Hmmm, yes. I did sense something slightly different about you. I am glad that you have seen the futility of the current power structure in the galaxy. However, if you are here for what I believe you to be, then we still have problems. I cannot allow you to steal my destiny."
"And what destiny might that be?" you say, fully knowing what the answer will be.
"The same you believe yours to be. To gain the power of the ancient Xont. Still, I do not wish to kill you right off hand, perhaps we can come to some sort of agreement."
"How about I just kill you right now?"
"You could try I suppose, but you would not make it out of here alive. Besides, you would fail, destiny cannot be changed. I have been chosen to bring order to the galaxy. I cannot die before my mission is completed."
"And you are sure of this? How do you not know it is ME, who is meant to do this?"
"Hahahaha! If I really thought that, I would step aside without hesitation, but you are notÂ…but perhaps this is a test? Is it possible that destiny has chosen two worthy candidates?"
"Impossible. I have been chosen, you are merely delusional." You say confidently.
"Perhaps you would like to convince me? I guarantee that is the only way you shall make it out of here without a fight, or perhaps you're still looking for a fight, but a fight between only us. A fight to the death, destiny will choose the winner."
Actually he makes sense, if you ARE chosen for this destiny, then you will win no matter what.
