<strong>Location:</strong>Nurse's Office<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Luke<br/><br/>"My understanding of Western culture is pretty limited," Doctor Lin Cheng admitted, "but often, cinema stories have a three act structure where the hero is meant to learn something over the course of a particular trial.  I've seen the Tobey McGuire Spider-Man, and it showed how with great power comes great responsibility.  However, the idea of redemption is still relatively new to myth, though it's not an unwelcome change.  Arachne learned her lesson and gets to spend eternity as a spider as a result.  The urban legend of the kidney thief means that the only second chance given is that the victim still has one kidney left."<br/><br/>She looked to Luke with compassion and admiration.  "Those who walk the myths get to decide how things go, whether offering vengeance or redemption.  That's not an easy path to walk, but the longer you follow a particular path, the easier Fate makes it for you.  Opportunities line up more and more to save those that might seem impossible, because the mythic hero<em>always</em>follows that path, and Fate abhors change once things become set in their nature."<br/><br/>Her expression showed that she had little doubt that he had discipline and compassion, just that she didn't know how well he understood such things and wanted to help where she could.  "If Fate finds you lacking in some way, it may decide to try to tempt you.  So it is for everyone.  Your path may well be demonstrated as being far easier as a result of mercilessness.  Usually, that's Fate offering proof that the best of us can withstand any temptation, but more than one Scion has lamented that they fell to an overwhelming and difficult situation where no mortal would have much of a chance of resisting either.  That too can cause a backslide, and if you or your Bandmates find yourself in such a situation, reach out for assistance."
