It would be a good opportunity here for you to make a reference to how fate has ruled and the plan set forth by the prologue has come to pass. This way you are keeping that thread alive.
Don’t forget to state what day and time it is as well – the compressed timeframe of the events is something worth keeping in mind.
Don’t forget your quotations – but you’re welcome to embed them as you tend to – in fact that is better!
