I’m so interested in the idea of chosen ones and the idea that it suddenly makes the person equipped to handle the villain. I want to write it different. The “chosen one” who really is just a kid, a trusting and kinda stupid kid, and they throw themselves into the fight because they’re chosen. They’re chosen. That means they’re going to win, right? And the other good guys are rallying around them, and the community is rooting for them, and doomsday is coming quick so they don’t have much time but they have a lot of faith and that’s what matters, right? The day of the fight comes and everyone knows the chosen one will win. The kid will win. They’re all counting on it.
But, then they don’t. Maybe they get hurt. Maybe they get killed. Because they rushed it, the good guys. They ignored the caliber to get to the result and the result isn’t good. Of course it’s not. The hero is a child. They didn’t stand a chance. Who even chose the kid anyway, and why would they possibly choose a kid unless they wanted the bad guy to win? Unless they wanted this destruction, this public tragedy. Unless they wanted all of this.
