Heroes and fate

The next day, you’re walking with the girls from the workshop towards the meeting with Andrew and his workshop. Supposedly, the place this friendly competition will be in is normally a forge for the armory. Hayley explains as you walk. “Everyone who normally works there got called to the Forgefather’s forge. Apparently they’re making something grand for the prophecy. There’s rumors that the Golden Magus will be coming soon.”

You smile. “It seems weird, talking about prophecies. But this stuff seems legit?”

Helja nods. “The divinations are old, but they’re mostly accurate. It helps that most of them are vague or obscure. That’s why this is the only one people know about, it’s fairly clear.”

Marin chuckles. “It’s pretty funny that the most clear you get is ‘some dude is arriving someday’!”

You laugh. “Well, it’s more than I’ve ever seen, so I can’t laugh too hard. Do we know anything else about the guy?”

Hayley shrugs. “The only widely known thing is that the Daughter of the Forge will be his companion.”

Sanni smiles. “Based on what I’ve seen of her, she doesn’t seem thrilled by that.”

Helja nods. “She doesn’t seem to like being fated to accompany someone she knows nothing about. But none of us know her personally, so who knows.”

You shrug. “Can’t say I blame her. Who wants to be told your bound to a specific person wether you like it or not?”

Marin nods. “Even if they are a hero. Some heroes are assholes!”

Hayley laughs. “Enough of that for now, this is the place!”

In front of you is a huge building, bigger even than your normal workshop. The door stands open, and Hayley leads your group inside.

As you enter, a male voice greets you.
