A quiet aside, but perhaps it should be noted that the very best threads I've had in Mizahar as both player and a mod are those in which the unexpected happened. We can be so focused on the guarantee of our goals that we fail to fully enjoy obtaining them.
Caelum is on a road to redemption. I'd be massively disappointed if he got there tomorrow. Hell, I'd be upset if he gained fulfillment or sustainable love or ascending self actualization any time soon.
The point in giving your character goals isn't achieving them. The purpose from the beginning was nothing more or less than telling their story.
