And then the other half is left stronger, reunited for the first time in centuries, able to work together towards greater odds and ends, ultimately coming out stronger from the fires of loss, one of the most storied lines in existence Bonded and Together? We've met two other Hallr-children, and both were highly powerful near-top tier combatants. And they were both relatively young. Uniting the family and finding ways to work together, to teach each other would ultimately be a huge step towards victory.
We have been told we wont be able to defeat the Enemy in a single character's life. Death isn't the end. Having ten dozen Sten-tier family members to call on and guide us would only make our line stronger in the end, even if it's a temporary setback.
I don't think it's wrong to not want to fight Fafnir, and obviously vote for whichever you wish. But with the confirmation that we could survive even if we messed up and got Eitr-breathed, I think there's a lot more we can gain from Fafnir than the others. Yes, it's a foe our family already killed once. You could look at that as boring, or you could look at that as an excuse to find said family, or a way to become Sigurd reborn or any other manner of things.
Don't feel like you have to change your answers or your vote, and I'm not here to argue or make you mad, I promise. But any negative doom and gloom you can put out, I can counter with how it could actually turn out well and truly better. As much posturing as I did about it being for the glory and legend, I do genuinely think Fafnir is the most interesting option with the most fun implications. That's why I'm voting for and defending it!
