A Seer cannot fix everything, Professor Amethyst told him. It is a hard lesson to learn and you are not the first to grapple with that dilemma. I have had this conversation over and over myself. But there are some things woven into the fabric of space and time that a Seer cannot control. Hitler, for example. You thwarted the plot of a rogue Seer who was interfering with time, aiding him to destroy. But Hitler is still the man you read about in history class. The things he has done cannot be changed. Unless you are acting against the sabotage of the rogue Seers, you must let it go. We cannot make everything perfect.

Hitler was going to kill me, Oliver said. But is death even possible if it changes your destiny?

The headmaster replied with a cautious tone in his voice. Even if your destiny demands you live, you can still die. Nothing is set in stone. But the universe will always try to find a way. If you die when there is more to your destiny, the universe will step in, pull on more threads, call to more Seers. Some things cannot be woven into the fabric of time. Especially the acts of rogue Seers.

Wait, Oliver said, as a sudden a thought struck him. Lucas was a rogue Seer. Does that mean his actions can be undone?

If Armando was killed by Lucas, a rogue Seer, did that mean there was a chance he could alter the timeline once more? That there was a better route the universe wanted it to follow?

The headmaster paused. A small smile twitched at the corner of his lips. Oliver got the distinct impression he was leading him toward a conclusion. Excitement raced through him.

Im right, arent I? he stammered. None of Lucass actions are woven into the fabric of time because hes a rogue Seer. Including killing Armando.

Professor Amethysts smile grew larger.

Armando was never supposed to die, Oliver said with sudden realization. Just like Hitlers bomb was never supposed to detonate. He gazed at the headmaster. You knew, didnt you? You knew all along?

Professor Amethyst nodded. Everything has a purpose, a reason. Nothing can be dictated. A Seer must find their own way to their path. And you have. Armando Illstrom is your guide not just because you are a perfect match, but because he, himself, is important to the universe. Your destinies are intertwined. You need each other. And the universe needs you both.

Oliver felt winded by the revelation. His mind swirled. Hed thought all hope was lost for Armando. But now he had to adjust to the reality that perhaps it was not. That he may be able to save Armando yet.

Armando is part of my destiny, Oliver stated aloud.
