6 Infinite Beings (2/2)
'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.
