This page or section contains details from the unpublished work [[Book shorthand incorrect]]!
This information has the potential to ruin plot elements of both published works and upcoming book releases for the reader. It should also be considered uncanonical and could completely change in the future.

Our interference so far has brought nothing but pain. My path has been chosen very deliberately.
