Thy Fate It Was (джен)

“With the Gauntlet I can grant him a new life. He will forget all he has been and all he has done. He will grow up again, not as the spoiled favorite son of an all-powerful tyrant, but as a common man, a mortal, prone to the struggles and woes of all. He will not have a magic weapon that makes him all but invulnerable; he will be subject to the same dangers as all, and thus can learn sympathy for those who must fear. And one day I may even give his power back to him, if he can learn to use it to protect instead of to oppress.”
Nought hast thou won, | for thy fate it was
Brave men to bring | to the battle-field.
