Branwen, daughter of Llyr, through the eyes of Trevrezent

Hello my fellow grail friends. My name is Trevrezent, and I am the Hermit-Uncle to Parzival. I have said it once, and I'll say it again: The Grail chooses its company. I am not one to brag very often, but I am known as a very wise man. I have taught many a lesson in my lifetime. One might say that I am more of a teacher than a hermit.
Now, when I think about the story of poor Branwen, all I know is that no one can ever win the grail unless he has been summoned to it by God. Bendigeid Vran must have been on God's good side to be able to even come in contact with the grail, never mind the fact that he destroyed it. All I know is that part of the reason so many people close to Branwen died (including herself) is because of the Grail. Man can be both blinded and destroyed on his quest for the grail. Only god can decide a man's fate.

Dear Trevrezent, your work as loyal teacher, advisor, and thinker is praised by God. I myself performed similar work during my brief time on earth. Your philosophy on fate is a truth only us old hermits can utter. Young men will search for the grail, but not until they turn their quest inward and upward toward God will they find meaning. Branwen is a gentle, loving soul whom is rewarded in the afterlife. Dear Trevrezent, fellow advisor, I give you my best advice: love, love, love.
