When I was very small, the ancient empires were strong. There were many of us back then, little Nations with only a vague identity, caught up in the wars and struggles of the ancient empires. I passed through many different hands, and I don't remember all of them. There was Rome, and Gaul, and I can remember other faces, but they've faded into time and out of memory.
I don't remember things back then properly. I think Italy and Romano remember better than I do, maybe because they had Rome to guide them, even after he fell from power. After Rome fell...
Things changed. It wasn't the ancient powers fighting anymore. It was me, and it was my triumphs, my defeats, my choices, my glory. And people--my bosses, my generals, my farmers, my priests--they all told me things. They told me I would be great; that I would fail; that I was doing God's will; that I was sullying God's image; that I was a boon, a witch, an miracle, a monster. I had oracles who told my fortune and future, and prophecies read about the end of the world. They said I was the future, that I was the past, that I was the present, and they promised me things, many things both good and bad.
But there has only one thing that all of these people ever have in common: they believed what they said to be true. I've lived my entire life with someone telling me what to do, with someone saying they know what will happen if I do or don't do something. And if there's anything I've learned, it's that--no matter where I am--just because someone says something is true, it doesn't mean it has to be. What becomes the truth is largely up to you. There is no one hundred percent certainty.
So, yes, I think it is possible to change your future.
