Fates At Work

Kyran immediately understood what Ruin meant when he told him he had been played. He even knew who had played him, and everything that happened thus far started to make much more sense.

The Fates.

They manipulated everything that happened in the Blade Dancer plane, which resulted in Kyran failing to execute his plans.

Kairos mentioned that Kyran was immune to the Fates' intervention, and he had no reason to doubt the former. There had been instances where their well-woven paths were torn just from his appearance.

Of course, Kyran did not know that his supposed actions changed predetermined fates. In his opinion, he was only doing what he could to protect his people and was unaware that most of his actions succeeded because the Fates could not touch him.

That had been the case with Flos's and Obstruction's unexpected death.
