"No one can defy the Fates," Zagreus agrees. "Even their mother Nyx could only ask them to decide differently, and hope they would change their mind. And...I don't believe that's something that would do often. Maybe not even ever again."

That particular prophecy, however, wasn't one that Achilles would know. Not a prophecy given to his Father, and known only to those in the Underworld.

"Perhaps there is a world where the Fates decided differently. Somewhere where you did live out your life on Physia's soil. Though in that world...you probably wouldn't have ever met me. You might not have even met Patroclus. So...I'm glad you did choose that path."
