Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 80 Plotline Of Norn Sisters

?

When the norn sisters were first pulled into Arcadia, not many Gods from Norse mythology were pulled along with them. So during the war of Gods when the purge started to kill or capture any God who can see the future, the norn sisters became the prime target for everyone. 

The Norn sisters, with their unique ability to see the past, present, and future, became the coveted prize sought after by every warring faction. Their power and knowledge made them indispensable weapons in the hands of those who could control them. 

Because not only one of them can see the future, they come in a combo where one can see past and other one present. Just the thought that having these 3 in anyone's faction would give them the biggest advantage, as they can see their enemies' past to learn about their weaknesses, monitor their situation instantly no matter where they are as present, they can also change their plans and strategize after seeing the future. 

Everyone in the God realm was after their life, the trio of norn sisters had to run and hide from whoever they saw, in an unknown land where powerful Gods from other myths started coming after them, the sisters tasted the true meaning of despair. 

For a little while, their skills gave them a slight advantage in slipping away from their pursuers, the inevitable came to pass. The trio of sisters—Skuld, Urd, and Verdandi—found themselves caught in a treacherous trap. 

No matter what they did, how they used their abilities supporting each other, in front of overwhelming numbers and ultimate strength, they soon found themselves lost and beaten.

As captives, the sisters endured a bleak existence, their lives reduced to mere pawns in the ongoing war. They were subjected to the whims and demands of their captors, forced to use their skills and knowledge to serve the agenda of those who held them captive. The sisters' visions held the potential to turn the tide of the war, to reveal the strategies and weaknesses of their enemies. 

The war of gods raged on, each faction blinded by their desire for dominance. But even in their captivity, the norn sisters held onto a flicker of hope, knowing that their abilities were too potent to be suppressed forever.

Finally after changing several factions, experiencing destruction and betrayals wherever they went, the day of their liberation arrived. Urd and Skuld, cunning and resourceful, managed to break free from their captors' grasp. They embraced their newfound freedom and made a fateful decision to join forces with Kali, a formidable goddess known for her ferocity, and the chaos she left behind on the battlefield. 

However, their triumph was marred by the absence of Verdandi. Zeus, the Greek king of gods, had captured Verdandi and concealed her in a place so secretive that even Skuld's visions couldn't pierce its veil. Despite their best efforts and Skuld's future visions, the duo were unable to locate her. 

The knowledge of Verdandi's captivity weighed heavily upon Urd and Skuld, for they knew that their sister remained at the mercy of Zeus, a ruler known for his indomitable strength and unwavering will, the tales of his tyranny were enough to send shivers down the sisters spine whenever they thought about it. 

The fate of the Norn sisters intertwined with the fate of the war itself. So when the duo were going to sacrifice themselves for their sister's freedom, or at least join her in the suffering, the world's will intervened and stopped the War of Gods. 

It has been nearly a thousand years, but there has been no news about Verdandi, Skuld and Urd have followed Goddess Gauri ever since then, in return the sisters have only asked for a promise from Goddess, that she would help them free Verdandi if ever a chance presented itself. Goddess Gauri(kali) didn't know why they even asked for a promise like that, as the war had already ceased, and even she, a primordial, couldn't go and teach Zeus some manners now. But for their safety and happiness she agreed nonetheless. 

But what she didn't know was that Skuld carried a secret, a vision of the future that she had yet to share with anyone, even her own sister. 

When the world's will intervened to halt the war, Skuld had glimpsed a fate so catastrophic, so devastating, that it made the apocalyptic event of Ragnarok that she had long feared, seem like a mere playground skirmish.

 In her vision, the signs of war were so dire that they eclipsed the horrors of any conflict that had come before, engulfing the realms of both mortals and gods alike. Immortal beings, once revered as all-powerful, were hunted and mercilessly slaughtered, their immortal essence shattered like fragile mortal beings.

The gods, once praised as omnipotent beings, were now killed, their divine essence extinguished like flickering flames.

The world had irrevocably changed. Darkness and chaos consumed the realms, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake. 

The intensity of this vision had taken its toll on Skuld's spirit, pushing her to the brink of her own sanity. 

To recover from its overwhelming impact, she had been forced to enter a deep slumber, a hundred-year respite to heal her spirit and regain her strength. 

 From that moment forward, she had been waiting, patiently biding her time, for the realization of her vision. For she knew that the impending war she had foreseen was not a matter of if, but when.

Since the war stopped, they couldn't find Zeus, and Zeus had no more use for the other sisters for the time being. That's why Skuld could do nothing but wait. Wait for when that vision comes true, so she can hope to find her sister again. 

The threads of fate had woven a tapestry of destruction and chaos, and she saw it as the key to unlocking her sister Verdandi's freedom and getting her revenge. 

 With this knowledge weighing heavily upon her, Skuld sought to make the necessary preparations ever since she woke up, to gather allies, and to be ready for the moment when her vision would come to pass. 

She understood that her request for a promise from Kali, was not simply a matter of releasing Verdandi from Zeus's grasp, but a crucial step in securing the survival of her sisters in the future she had witnessed. All this time she never increased her influence by freely giving out blessings and making followers here and there, she knew the more attention she brought upon herself now, the easier she would be trapped by anyone when the war began. She only maintained the necessary and minimum presence so she could still carry on her existence and not get erased. The same was the case for her sister Urd, who she forced to do the same. 

The world's will had set the stage, the pieces on it were forever in motion, and Skuld, driven by her prophetic vision and understanding of fate, would strive to alter the course of destiny itself. For her sisters she was willing to challenge the threads of fate itself and carve a new path amidst the chaos.

_

In the original story of the novel, as anyone with half a brain can guess, Skuld after looking at the golden fate of Arcadia's protagonist, decided to stick close to him. She had given him her blessings and helped him multiple times. She even taught him the method of stealing someone else's fate, which is what that bastard used when dealing with the Raven Family. Crippling all pillars of support his family had. 

As for Verdandi after emergence phase 2 when Gods were able to take part in the game, she was freed after Kali paid a nice visit to Zeus. Obviously other Gods of Greek pantheon didn't like Kali's approach and interference, but they couldn't do anything against her. Even though the Greek gods were more powerful than some other gods, primordial Gods Were on whole nother level. 

Primordials were Gods who have started the whole myth where other gods from any myth get based on, so to deal with her, they called for their own primordial. Which by no surprise happened to be Nyx. 

Though Nyx was far too done with the duality and hypocritical behaviors of Gods, what Kali did was a slap on the face for all Greek gods. And she had to reply. 

This further fueled their rivalry and sparked the fire of enmity between them. The fight between both Goddesses eventually started affecting both their avatars, Rio and Amelia. 

With what Rio's reputation was at that point and how the plot was progressing further, anyone could tell what happened next , the family that stood side by side till then was torn apart piece by piece and they found themselves standing on opposite sides. 

-

The norn sisters successfully joined the protagonist camp and became his minions, except for Urd. Who at the last moments jumped ship and colluded with the villains, breaking the unity of norns. 

No one knew why Urd did that, and the author never thought it important enough to explain -maybe he wanted to add some emotional drama mystery, or maybe he just didn't want to write a foursome chapters of Leon with 3 sisters. 

As the ending of any other villain camp partner, Urd too ended up dying, at the hands of Katherine Winston. Noah's sister and another heroine of Leon's harem. 

Sadly enough Verdandi who was always willing to sacrifice herself for her sisters' sake , or Skuld who could wait a 1000 years just to free her sister - never came forward to stop Katherine and save Urd. They called it her fate and let it happen -ironic indeed. 

After Urd's death, Skuld and Verdandi kept supporting the protagonist on his quest to increase his harem. Hmmmm I mean on his quest to roam the world and only save beauties. (Well some grandpas too, but even that ends up with a beauty so yeah whatever)

'Author this is wrong, let's try it again.'

After Urd's death, skuld and Verdandi kept supporting the protagonist on his quest to rise in power and become the strongest of all creation (so he can get any girl he wishes)

Obviously they continued doing this until one of them got left behind as a lamb to slaughter, so the protagonist could run away. (I mean one of them sacrificed herself to save their beloved hero and the hero of the world)

 'Shut up author. Stop ur thoughts from jumping into the chapter.'

Now where was I, yes one of them got left behind to be killed, no no, I mean one of them died willingly , while the other one , sigh let's not talk about the other one, that was too gritty and dark. 

'Author did you have to do that?'

(Whistles)
