(They draw the sword from the stone or something like that.) Encourage them to use this fact to their advantage (saying 'I am the Chosen One!' gives them bonuses to Intimidate or attack rolls, for example).And when they've gotten used to this, introduce a mysterious figure as an antagonist. They don't have to be evil, just spooky. When the Chosen One confronts them, and declares "I am the Chosen One!", the mysterious figure just says this:"I am the one who chose."Proceed to make the Chosen One feel very small.</blockquote>
