"Bring peace to Chantes, and restore the sun."

I've seen and heard a lot of talk over how we're meant to accomplish this task.

To those of you who are new and those who have been here from the start, I'm curious- ideally, how would you like to see such a goal accomplished?

There is a difference between altering fate and preserving a timeline which has become frayed.

[ It's a fine line, but it's there all the same. ]

The place where Heroic Spirits are recorded is displaced from space and time. Though I am here, my eternal 'true self' still rests within the vault where heroes of many different eras also reside.

It was a choice I made -- to remain apart from the cycle of life, death, and rebirth in exchange for power, a miracle I could not otherwise obtain -- and even if I were to go back in time to that very moment, the time when I made that choice or before, this 'self' of mine would not disappear.

There is no sorcery I know of, in this world or any other, that can break such a contract.

That is why my answer remains the same.

[ It cannot be done. ]

Do you hear that? That's the sound of you killing the hope boner.

Rules in certain worlds are rules in those worlds. You've been outside enough, haven't you? Some things are harder to change when resonance is involved. Belief can be a powerful thing when it seeps around the seems.
But it's just ideas.

Luckily for you you're about to learn a great deal about other worlds.

[ don't let fate win, Archer. ]

Consider this an opportunity to let that boner raise high.

[ A "hope boner"...really, Loki?

Archer stares at the message for a long moment before he answers. Yes, he knows belief is powerful. It was the one, slim chance he had of success -- if he could break Shirou's spirit coupled with the paradox involved in the two of them existing together in the same time, one slaying the other, then...

But no. Hope is something that's been crushed far too many times for him to trust it. He'll watch and see what happens, take any opportunities presented, but hope?

He doesn't think he can take another disappointment. ]

You have a way with words.

[ It's hard to tell if that text is meant to be sarcastic. Mostly, he just isn't sure how else to describe it. ]

Only time will tell.
