We're discussing heretical texts. Call me Kyo.
Why shouldn't you been chosen? To say such things mean you should be. My grandfather told me to beware a person who longs to be in power. Because they should be taken far from it.
The Fire Crystal skipped a generation. My father wants that power so bad. I don't think I'll do well at my responsibilities but I'd rather hold it than him.
I'm not someone who is good at kind words. So I doubt sharing my experience is much help.
I think you are afraid, rightfully that maybe it is something horrible. But maybe it is not. Maybe it is something more wonderful. The first chosen of song to love someone maybe in spite of him wanting power for himself (or not, I don't know, you priests have a better grasp of it than I do). That is beautiful.
And if it is something horrible. We're here. Although Gaius is better at this soft stuff than I am. And you are still chosen. You can still help people. Create a new system that takes the best pieces of the old one.
This is all probably really bad advice. I'm bad at this. I never trusted the system.
