Sometimes your fate is etched in stone and your only choice is to learn to live with it. Sometimes you don't even know what your fate is until you're staring it in the face. And sometimes, what you thought was your fate can change in the blink of an eye. It's what you do in those moments that defines you, for that is the role of Fate in the universe.

Author Notes
Persistent vs Transitory:
Illyrian genetic modification adapts the population to its environment, rather than the other way around. It’s an environmentally responsible tactic that lets the Illyrians leave their environs unchanged as they establish a colony.
As a result, they’ve learned that some modifications can and should become persistent, meaning they become inheritable characteristics. The Illyrian healing ability is one such inheritable characteristic, as is the ability to breathe in an atmosphere low in oxygen and high in other gases that would prove detrimental to unmodified humans.
Some modifications are considered transitory, meaning they modify only the person receiving the gene therapy and are not passed down to offspring. Examples would be enhancements to sight, hearing, strength, or other physical characteristics that would benefit colonizers but would be unnecessary in an established colony.
