The fates and their creator had appeared in a flash of brilliant white light. A massive, golden hall surrounds them with statues of them around the circular hall. They stood upon a small circular podium with a short flight of stairs surrounding the podium. The fates admired the majestic hall while their creator proudly introduced, "Welcome to the Fateless Turtle, a divine battleship that will acts as your new home as you weave fate with your powers." The hall had many decorations such as various green plants in white pots, golden incense pots, mini waterfalls, floating golden lined mirrors and floating balls of light.
If someone were to say that it's fit for a king, another would call it blasphemy for even a king could never achieve a wonder like this. "Wow, are you sure father? I could never accept such a gift, I am not worthy." Said Ananke. Her little sisters followed with a gesture of humility or similar words. Seeing their humility, I, the creator insisted, "Nonsense. All of you will be having one of the hardest works among your siblings." "Are you sure father? You don't have to burden yourself with creating an abode for us." Said the youngest fateweaver. "Clotho's right. These powers you have graciously bestowed us father is more than enough for us to create our own home." Said the eldest of the four.
However, the creator insisted that it's fine and they relented after two more tries. He told the sisters to familiarize themselves with their powers while he needed to create more things. Waving a goodbye, a upwards surge of light flashed as their creator leaves. Upon his departure, the four fateweavers began exploring their father's gift towards them. The creator had teleported himself into the bubble on Yam, the giant heavenly mosasaur's back. Feeling its master's return, the titanic beast sent its humble regards through the mindscape, 'Welcome back creator. What do you need of your humble servant?' The creator replied, 'Yam, I do not need anything for now. I'm still thinking about what to create before life?'
'Life? What is life creator?' Asked the beast with curiosity. Like a teacher to his or her student, he explained, 'I'm not exactly sure but as far as I know, life is a state in which something can think or function in its active routine.' The beast then stayed quiet, it felt like it had heard blasphemous words. It would not believe that its creator does not know of certain things. However, its creator does not know exactly and as a good servant, he thought of one day where he could search what life means and relay this to its creator. After all, it believes that its creator has the right to know all things if he doesn't know about it yet.
While his divine stead thought of ways to serve its master better, the creator thought of what to create next. 'I already created primordials, fateweavers and the seven great angels. What should I create next before the Gods?' Thought the creator. I thought of opening the system menu in order to ask the AI. Although I haven't made any non divine life yet, I'm already extremely grateful to whomever sent me this power of absolute creation. It's almost like I have Omnificence, the power to create anything at will. Maybe I do? I'm not sure, I haven't used it to the point where I warp reality beyond what it already is. While thinking of my possible Omnificence, I decided that my first children are way to weak.
I asked the system to help me modify their stats. Since the letter mentioned that I am only limited to my imagination or perception, I can add more than infinity to the stats thing. Through the menu, I set all the stats of my primordials, including Ananke and Yam to seven times infinity. I pressed the confirm button, crossing my fingers and hoping that I truly can create infinite beings. A loading bar appeared, processing my request. As moments ticked by, the bar gradually fills gold. Once the bar has filled, a congratulatory ding sounded. Before he could momentarily celebrate, A great shaking occured.
Bright lights of different colors began to emerge, covering him and everything in an ocean of conflicting colors. "WwwhaaaAat iiis happeeenninnnggg?" Said the creator who is shaking like he's stuck in a radio. The shaking was so strong that he almost fell off the golden chairs for at least three times. The creator's vision kept shaking and blurring from whatever's happening. After what felt like a minute or two, the shaking gradually stopped as the waves of light receded back to its origin. After stabilizing himself for a bit he asked, "What was that?"
[Creator is experiencing effects of giving more than infinite power to multiple entities simultaneously]
He had given them all seven times infinity in all stats except for Ouranos who had ten times infinity for physical stats instead. He massively amplified their abilities to the point where each of them could create their own universe after a year or two of effort. After the shaking and bright light ended, worry entered his heart as even the bubble shook from the impact. In a concerned tone, the heavenly beast asked, 'My Creator, are you well?!' With a slightly blurry vision and a minor dizziness in his voice, the creator replied out loud, "Yeeeup, I'm fine." Ignoring the minor inconvenience, the heavenly beast sighed in relief.
Although it had no doubt that its creator is invincible, it believed that the creator should not waste his effort or time in such an experience. He should do as he wishes and experience what he wishes instead of being subjected to the wishes of others, thought the beast. Shortly after replying to the heavenly beast, the creator increased the sisters of fate's powers to only infinity. Another bright light occured but it looked more like an oddly brighter white sun than an omnipresent sea of light. 'Ok, the fateweavers and primordials are already infinite beings. What to do next?' The creator does not plan to create the dragons or the gods yet because he wants all of the universal entities to exist first.
However, he has not much of an idea of what to create. 'I already made the makers of fate and their overseer. What to make next before my other ideas?' The creator asked the system to help him create an encyclopedia of earth's mythology. The encyclopedia is a book containing complete information but with realistic visuals to allow people of all ages to read. Thanks to the pictures, the creator wasn't bored at all while he read through the book. After three hours of reading, the creator closed the book, "Ha, finally done." The creator placed the book on the nearest golden seat before telling his stead to travel to Yggdrasil.
'As you wish.' The heavenly beast roared as a massive spatial tear appeared before them. While upgrading them all, the creator decided to give him the power to make wormholes and portals by roaring. It would save him a lot of time if he doesn't plan on doing anything else. Like a crocodile, the mosasaur swam towards the tear as it emerged above the great lake that housed Yggdrasil's seed. After reading the encyclopedia, he was reminded of the Nornir, the Norse equivalent of the fates. Although the sisters of fate already exist, the Nornir could take the job of becoming the Primordial Goddesses of Time. Through their power, they can change destiny similar to the sisters by intervening.
However, they change destiny by manipulating time and not by changing fate. The creator formed a portal that he used to teleport to the southern bank of the lake. The same place where he created Yggdrasil's seed and teleported to place the seed at the lake's center. Opening the menu, the creator designs his Nornir, the Primordials of Time. He intends the three to become Yggdrasil's caretaker and also as time guardians, preventing distortions or other potential time disasters. They are gifted with the power over time, capable of turning it forward, back, stopping it, accelerating it, slowing it down, travelling through it and even destroy time itself. He plans to have the Nornir as equals to the sisters of fate as they would work closely with each other.
Their stats are completely equal to the sisters as each Norn would require an attack that will erase a universe in order to be killed. In Norse mythology, the names of the Nornir are Urd, Skuld and Verdandi, their positions being past, future and present respectively. The creator wanted to change their names and positions since he found it weird. The Norn Urd is now named Dira, Norn of the Past. Skuld is now Skadi, Norn of the Present and finally, Verdandi, now the Norn of the Future. Urd and Verdandi oversees their sections of time and intervenes to fix events that have happened while Skadi's job is to take care of Yggdrasil and catalog and explore new worlds that the tree has expanded to include.
As a tribute to norse mythology, the creator designed the Norns to be like valkyries. They wore lean, golden armor and had three pairs of massive eagle wings. Dira looked the eldest, a tall, mature beauty in her mid twenties with an attractive body, soft porcelain like skin and a mischievous smile. On earth, she would easily win the title of miss universe by her looks alone. She has long blonde hair, sky blue eyes and wears a very revealing golden armor. The Norn of the Past wields a two handed hammer with nordic runes written on its head such as 'Origin', 'Zero' and 'Birth'. It looked like a warhammer version of Mjolnir but with some golden decorations andpatterns mixing with silver ones and a significantly larger head.
Dira is a very mischevious and energetic woman. She likes playing pranks on other primordials and sleeping, basking under the sun like a snake when not needed. Despite her laziness, she would be more diligent than a robot if she's needed and shows no signs to being fatigued in any way. The second Norn Skadi appears to be a five foot eleven inches tall young woman in her early twenties with long auburn hair, bright orange eyes, clear and gleaming white skin. Her beauty is incomparable to any human and her warm smile could ignite a fire of indomitable will in the hearts of even the most hopeless and depressed. The Norn of the Present dons a lean golden armor with sun patterns and a golden valkyrie's helmet.
Held by her right hand is a golden hilted longsword with fire as its blade. While on her left is a circular golden shield with burning nordic runes inscribed saying things such as 'Belief', 'Passion' and 'Freedom'. As the Norn of the Present, Skadi represents the will to move forward and improve in the present. Like what she represents, she is extremely diligent, persistent and cheerful. In any situation, Skadi's hope and laughter would never falter as she believes that being positive and persistent will lead to victory no matter what. As for the youngest Verdandi, she appears as a supernaturally beautiful girl who looks barely twenty.
She has long raven hair with long streaks of gold styled to a high ponytail. Her grass green eyes reflect life and her innocent smile could pacify even the most violent of creatures. Her golden armor possesses eagle designs with an eagle styled golden helmet. Strapped on her back is a large golden gatling gun half the height of the five foot ten inches tall norn. The gatling gun had runes inscribed in norse, blessing the gun with blessings such as, 'Penetration', 'Swift Death' and 'Silent Reaper'. When used, the gun would fire a hailstorm of fiery bullets at speeds so fast that slowing down the footage would still reveal nothing.
As the Norn of the Future, she would have to combat threats from other worlds. A gatling gun would allow her to combat any number of opponents as the shower of bullets would easily mow down armies and incapacitate strong opponents. Verdandi has the ability to foresee the exact future, not its possibilities. She can tell which possibility will come true while also doing other things. Verdandi can easily multitask, which allows her to see the future even while locked in deadly combat. The creator bestowed her such power so she could easily outmaneuver her opponents in any form of combat as she knows exactly what her opponent would do.
Verdandi is the most patient of the norns as she could constantly see the future at will. She's also very good at hiding her negative emotions but laughs or smiles too easily, giving off a friendly vibe. As she possesses future knowledge on all events, she knows who's good and evil simply by sensing them or by the mention of them. She would be very friendly and trusting to the good ones while she'll be more suspicious and mistrusting to the evil ones. Her ability also makes her very wise which could help her replace any leader if she has to. However, her ability cannot see the future of beings that transcend the concept of time. Though she can see the future of acausal beings, but it needs a little more focus than usual.
The three norns stand before the creator at the lake's shore. They bowed as he crowned them their titles and occupations as the primordials of time. Unlike when he created the rest, he didn't leave immediately as the creator had plans to do on the planet. Dira stayed at the lake's shore, admiring the lake's clear and empty waters. Since this is the beginning of time, a past to monitor has not existed yet so Dira decided to watch the lake, enjoying the sounds of water and the warm embrace of light from the sun. Skadi did the same but quickly got bored and flew away with her three pairs of eagle wings towards the south.
As for Verdandi, she immediately jumped into the future and began observing the ages of the future. The creator walked away from the lake and used Vishnu's eye to find a rocky mountain range around the equator. With the eye's omnipresent gaze, the creator quickly found his chosen mountain range. There he would build the second area for off world travel, a part of his grand plan of creation.
