Durin had lived two lifetimes, amounting to nearly one hundred and twenty years, and had seen all sorts of people.
There are those who are fated to be king-slayers and regicides, yet act with unswerving loyalty.
There are those who are determined to serve only one master, yet find themselves walking the path of a servant to three surnames.
It's like that saying, all things are predestined, not one iota is up to us.
In his previous life, when Durin was young, he didn't believe in any of this. To him, destiny was what the heavens had given; then why did he and his friends encounter Mentor Mars in their most desperate hour, and ultimately survived that killing field and escaped to the heavens.
Until that night, Durin saw the girl he was most enamored with betray everyone, and saw the little brother he wished to protect the most... betray him.
They offered too much money, so much that with this one job, we could make our escape and fly high.
