"We control your destiny, foolish mortal! With a whim, we can end your life or allow you to live. Search your memory, Kratos. The sword which you stand on delivered your victory against Ares; without it, you will be the one who dies this day, not Ares! We can change your past and set your future; this is the power of the Fates!"
