This one's a little dark and edgy, but MAN it is so EPIC. From the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons, a 'conversation' between the heroine and one of the queens that rule over the multiverse. Of course, this comes right on the heels of the heroine proclaiming that she's just a nobody and after all she's been through she'll be happy to go back to being a nobody. This queen, though, knows far better than she what awaits her.
Quote:"You are so like me when I was your age. Your fatal error is thinking you can still run. The boy is prophesied to become The Rising King, the Ruler that destroys me and my compatriots. The heir of the Old King Zoss. The Prophet, I should mention, is never wrong. Yet..."BTW: This queen? She is not a nice person. At all.
"Yet?!"
"...Yet here you are, wielding his missing power.
"That's the problem with power. The moment it touches you, destiny sinks its claws into your pretty little flesh. And oh, by the Rotting Gods it will tug. You will be torn apart. And each part will be scrutinized and picked clean. It will hurt, of course. And fear of that pain will become your master. Yes, I do know your fate, girl. Against your will, you have become a slave, lashed by unseen chains to a story you cannot write and want no part in.
"You will lose yourself.
"Fate will warp you beyond recognition, little miss nobody. You will become malformed. And you will hate every second of it. Such is your path now."
