2019 Lore Tournament - Day 19: The Harder Path vs Halfway Between the Stars and Earth
EDIT: Soraka moves into the quarter finals with 25 to 11 votes #####~~ Happiness all around~~
I don't know why, but the last few days were really fun. Every time when I interacted with someone, it was so nice - online or IRL. We got stuff done, and now everyone is posting pics of their cute pets. It's so nice sharing this with you and all of the boards. [katarina-love]

#####... and Fate did not choose you.
Today once again is about fate and determinism - Ashe doesn't really believe in "Fate", she just does what she thinks is right for her people. Soraka shows us that there is indeed a path laid out for humanity, yet so often humans deviate from it.
In the first story, The Harder Path, Ashe of the Avarosans initiates their harvest festival and then visits the crowd, sharing food, drink, and tales of hunts past. Her resolve is tested when raiders from the Snow Followers arrive, but she welcomes them to the family.
In the second story, Halfway between the Stars and Earth, Soraka is enjoying her tea on Mount Targon, when a visitor is outside. She scares away the wolves and brings the young girl inside. Tea Time. In the meantime, she tells a story about the fate woven in the stars that humans ignore far too often.
