[ How much does he really want to talk about this right now? He's exhausted and wounded and really just wants to clean up and leave this stinking, burning city full of death and uncomfortable memories. The idea of talking about his identity (and someone else's) doesn't really sound great right now.
And yet. ]
There was a prophecy I overheard when I was a boy that whoever went to the king that day and declared themselves a warrior would become a legend...I immediately went to the king to do so. I missed the ending of the prophecy that said this legendary status came at the cost of the short life.
I didn't care. I lived my life as I pleased...And I did become a legend. Things got messy towards the end...I killed my own son without knowing who he was and I ended up being killed by a woman I should have killed myself.
[ Berserker shrugs. ]
That destiny should have been mine, anyway...The only thing that changed that destiny was that woman and something known as the Holy Grail. She wished for a version of "me" who would be a perfect king for her. Her wish on the Grail twisted who I should have been into an apathetic killer who only knew how to conquer and destroy.
[ Confusing? Yeah, a little. Super revealing? Very. ]
So...Destiny will sort itself out unless someone purposefully interferes with its course.
