Chapter 2070 Bearer of Bad News
2070 Bearer of Bad News
"What do you mean?" Adrian asked as he did not know what the Fates were talking about.
"We are not here as goddesses that know you but messengers of the impending doom that you have a slim chance of turning into a blessing." The First Sister of the Fates stated.
"As more and more primordial beasts get unsealed in the world, our role as fate weavers have become extended to messengers as well. The fate that you have is uncertain in the future but there are some aspects that we can see." The Second Sister of the Fates stated.
"The True Ruler of the Skies shall descend to your territory and try to destroy it as there is a being here that can hurt it." The Third Sister of the Fates stated.
"I thought you must not challenge your own fate or else face the wrath of disastrous uncertainty?" Adrian stated.
"You are not the only ones that we have told about things such as this. Matters of primordial beasts could be said to be at the part of a gray area. Primordial Beasts have the ability to twist fate itself as they are beings that were birthed by the world itself." The First Sister of the Fates stated.
"You are just warning me so that you can be entertained. I know that observing and slightly altering something is the past time of you sisters." Adrian stated as he could see that there was some sort of anticipation from the voices of the Fates.
"You are not wrong but still very straightforward even to us. You should sometimes watch your words mediator as you cannot hide behind the protection of the Twin Gods. This is a message for you from us as to see if you can challenge fate and entertain our incredibly long lives." The Fates stated with a smug laugh as they vanished from Adrian's sight. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Adrian found himself in the midst of the chrysalis of Wisteria once again as the Fates returned his soul back to his body. He did not appreciate gods suddenly pulling him to their divine realms as if he was someone that can be called whenever. Since he is the Mediator of Death, there would be some instances where gods will call upon him as he is basically doing the duties of the God of Death Abaddon in his absence.
"Never mind the inconvenience, they at least gave me a warning that my territory will be attacked by the flying primordial beast." Adrian stated as he left some of his soulbounds to watch over Wisteria's chrysalis as he headed towards the elders.

"I thought that you were busy watching over your soulbound, brat?" Elder Ascalor stated as Adrian made an excuse that he could not do official duties since Wisteria is in a precarious position.
"I was but the Fates magically gave me a message of impending doom. This is also the reason why I am here because they did not say something that will be good for me or rather this territory." Adrian stated but the three elders suddenly became silent when they heard that the Fates has come to warn Adrian.
"Tell us exactly what they have told you without even missing a word." Elder Koronn stated as this was something that he seems to be quite serious about.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Adrian told what the Fates have told him without missing any word. He even made sure to replay the recording so that he will not miss anything. If he did not replay the recording, then Elder Koronn would have extracted memories of that incident in his head. This was the first time that the elders exuded a heavy and serious attitude.
Adrian rarely have seen the elders act like this because they would usually be serious but would still have the ability to joke around. They were never the type to be incredibly heavy and serious unless the literal world is ending. He even saw that they lost the playful banter that they have the moment that Adrian told them that the Fates came to him.
"At the very least their warning is straightforward." Elder Bronx stated.
"I still do not like that they give messages of impending doom but never tell you when it will happen." Elder Koronn stated.
"That is what they do as they want a show which is why I always hated them." Elder Ascalor stated with great seriousness and confidence because no one usually says the word 'hate' towards gods or suffer their wrath.
"This is a serious topic, but I just really need to say it. It seems that there is some history with the Fates as all of you suddenly became dead serious." Adrian stated.
"This is not the first time that our kind have been given the message from the Fates. I actually thought that they were still in slumber since they were severely injured in the succeeding fights after the War of the Gods." Elder Ascalor stated.
"The Fates have come to us for a total of two times. The first time is when the three of us were not yet elders or even born for that matter. The second instance was when the three of us were just recently given the position of elders." Elder Koronn stated.
"Can you tell me more about the two instances and the results?" Adrian asked as he wanted to know what made the three elders apprehensive about the Fates.
"The first instance was when the Fates came to an elder of the Daemos. They have told us that some of us will turn to evil and will commit atrocities to the world. The elder that they have talked about that warning is actually quite a devotee to the gods. It turned that elder paranoid and became unable to trust even his own kind.
The elder that did so judge every miniscule mistake to the point that he became hated one in the race. The elder is not the only one as he had followers under him that followed his ramblings about us becoming monsters. In the end, he was the one that became the monster and turned to become evil which started the first racial conflict of the Daemos.
The first civil war if you can call it that as the Daemos became divided. The ones that followed the elder that became deranged and the others that did not. In the end, the deranged elder was killed but many of our fellow kin died in the process. The surviving ones from the deranged elder's side were cast off and their Daemos Cores broken.
They no longer had the ability to wield Origin Magic in exchange for their lives. They were said to have moved eastward from that point on and never has been heard from since. They lived secluded lives from what the records tell us." Elder Bronx stated as he recounted the first instance.
"This is also the time when we no longer respected the Fates as they turned a sane man deranged because they warned him of what was supposed to be his Fate." Elder Ascalor stated.
"Still, what is there to say that the elder they warned was supposed to be the one that becomes deranged? I am not siding with the Fates as I know their shady practices and form of entertainment but even, they say that not everything is set in stone. They may be the Goddess of Fate, but they can only truly glimpse at what they have woven." Adrian stated as he is still a bit thankful for the warning because his territory might get attacked without him knowing or when he was not there.
"I can at least say that the only malicious intent in their warning is for them to see us fight that primordial beast to the fullest. The Fates wanted great action as that is the only thing they have as a form of entertainment." Elder Koronn stated as he still does not like the Fates.
"What about the second instance?" Adrian asked as the elders seem to want to shift the topic.
"The second instance that they have appeared before us is the reason why we hid in the Paradox Planes." Elder Ascalor stated as Adrian suddenly became incredibly interested.
Elder Ascalor told the story of how the Fates told the three elders in one dream that great persecution would definitely happen and that the already small population of the Daemos would shrink even more. Knowing that the Daemos could no longer afford to have their numbers be reduced, they devised a way by finding a special place in the universe where causality is at its weakest.
The three elders were young at the time, but they needed to do what needs to be done. They combined all of their power to find and transport the entire land where the Daemos live to the Paradox Planes. This made all of the Daemos become undisturbed by causality and fate which did not amuse the goddesses but the elders did not care that they found a loophole.
