Summary
There is an inherent flaw to tying fate to sapient beings, and when the scale of such a tie is multiversal, the consequences can quickly become dire. From the moment of his shattering at Fate’s hands, the Destroyer has been one half of the Balance meant to keep these consequences at bay – it is a vicious cycle, Creation’s ignorance begetting pain, suffering, and insanity, and with their mutual creator’s spiteful determination to keep the status quo, it’s only a matter of time before he breaks under the strain.
But while this god is resigned to his fate, one of the Powers that Be, one that watches over him, decides to take matters into her own hands. She will free him from Fate’s web, no matter the cost. Even if it means working under the nose of her more spiteful counterpart for centuries upon centuries. Even if it means striking a deal and giving her chosen to another higher being, something incomprehensible and terrifying that defies her understanding of the cosmos, with unknown plans in store for him.
It is fortunate, then, that this higher being understands the pain that comes of being chained to a Purpose, and refuses to inflict that same pain unto another so much like itself.
