So, Wraen had managed to awaken more independent thinking cells inside Arcturus's mind and, what he suggested to her revealed a lot of, what he thought in general. It was true - some things were pre-destined. Like she would never bear and give birth to young, but compared to, how huge the life was, it was but a small speck. 

She did not reply immediately, she looked around for something that would help her visualize, what she was about to say. A twig would be perfect. Wraen got to her feet and left the cozy den, to expand her search and finally she caught sight of, what she was looking for. She disappeared in the darkness briefly and was soon back, carrying a piece of a small branch. 

This she put right in front of Arcturus's feet and told him: "The only thing in this story and in life that is truly predestined is that you are a wolf. You can't change it, no matter, how far back you go in the past. You will always be one. However, have a look at, how this twig looks like. It starts in one piece and then it branches off. That's, what your life looks like. It can lead you in many directions, depending on, when and where you make the choices."

"Starchaser could have died before he met the Gray witch and the witch with no saviour around could have withered away herself. Starchaser could have done more research on, what the dragon was like, climb up the mountain being more prepared. Or - he might have asked the Fairy queen for an advice.

And do you really know, why he wanted to climb that mountain? Was it pride? Was it for fame and glory? Was it truly for noble reasons, greater good or... maybe he wanted to become a fearsome dragon himself? If they had taken a different path, Drake might not have got gravely injured and together they would have fought the dragon and killed it. Or maybe Drake would decide to betray Starchaser, being a spy of the dragon's for years.

There are many ways the story can go - and you have the opportunity that not a lot of people do - to return to past and reset that story. Make them choose differently and see, where it leads then," she finished her explanation.
