This was all too much to process for Opehlia, but Diligence didn't care and kept going.
"While my impact on the world was severely limited, my ability to see the future remained fully intact. Even if I couldn't move, there were a few things I was able to do…"
Diligence let the water flower collapse and sent a small stream of water shooting off into the distance, hitting the walls of the gorge.
"Just by redirecting a lizard's path, I can change how an event plays out on the other side of the world with declining accuracy up to 25 years in the future… In your case, every time you snuck out to remove the ballots, a convenient animal was scampering nearby to help distract the guard."
'T-that…'
"I know it may sound hard to believe. But truly, fate bends to any and every will. Though it may not appear to."
Ophelia gripped the soil as she looked over toward the wall and spotted a red lizard scampering about, turned around by the water stream.
