You find yourself at the foot of the temple of the Fates. The sky is dark above you, and there are no stars.
The atmosphere seems heavier here. It weighs on you, and you get the feeling you shouldnt be here.
But you won't turn back.
[[You have something to ask them.->Moirae]][after 1 second]
You take one step across the threshold of the temple, then another. You can feel the weight of the universe around you. It's enough to make you tremble, and an electric current of something between awe and terror runs through you.
You still won't turn back.
You move as if compelled; as if your legs knew where you wanted to go before you did.
And you arrive in front of them. Billions of luminous threads spread out before them, stretching across the temple, hanging from every archway, moving like snakes away from you as you move through them. They answer only to the call of three women.
[[The Fates.->Your Fate]][after 1 second]
[[Nona]], [[Decuma]], and [[Morta]]. Three sisters with one eye between them. Each dressed in white robes that burn with starlight. Each with storm-black hair that flows around them, as if the world were underwater, and the only one who hadn't noticed was you.
They hold your future in their hands.
You step forward.
You have a question to ask them.
[if Nona]
"He is always thinking of you."
[if Decuma]
"He will come in his own time."
[if Morta]
"He has always returned to you."
[if Nona && Decuma && Morta]
[after 4 seconds]
...You think your question has been [[answered.]]Nona: true
--
[after 1 second]
Nona, the spinner of the thread. She takes the eye and looks at you, curiously.
[if Decuma || Morta]
[after 4 seconds]
"At this moment, he is wandering the Earth, but he's never stopped thinking of you."
[if Decuma || Morta]
[after 8 seconds]
[["Like you've never stopped thinking of him."->Your Fate]]
[unless Decuma || Morta]
[after 4 seconds]
"I know your question, boy."
[unless Decuma || Morta]
[after 8 seconds]
"At this moment, he is wandering the Earth, but he's never stopped thinking of you."
[unless Decuma || Morta]
[after 12 seconds]
[["Like you've never stopped thinking of him."->Your Fate]]Decuma: true
--
[after 1 second]
Decuma, the measurer of the thread. She takes the eye, and looks up at you, briefly, and uninterested, before turning to her work.
[after 5 seconds]
She speaks anyway.
[unless Nona || Morta]
[after 9 seconds]
"I know your question, boy."
[unless Nona || Morta]
[after 13 seconds]
"You will wait for him, and will want him to return, but you must wait."
[unless Nona || Morta]
[after 17 seconds]
[["He will return when he is ready."->Your Fate]]
[if Nona || Morta]
[after 9 seconds]
"You will wait for him, and will want him to return, but you must wait."
[if Nona || Morta]
[after 13 seconds]
[["He will return when he is ready."->Your Fate]]Morta: true
--
[after 1 second]
Morta, the cutter of the thread. She takes the eye, but only uses it to inspect a thread. She does not seem to acknowledge your presence.
[after 5 seconds]
Then, she speaks.
[unless Nona || Decuma]
[after 9 seconds]
"I know your question, boy."
[unless Nona || Decuma]
[after 13 seconds]
"You have loved him for a long time. And known him even longer."
[unless Nona || Decuma]
[after 17 seconds]
"You were children when he moved away. But after years, he found you. As adults, your paths diverged. He worked, you went to school abroad. But after years, you found him. He left to see the world. And you wanted to stay."
[unless Nona || Decuma]
[after 23 seconds]
[["But he has always found you."->Your Fate]]
[if Nona || Decuma]
[after 9 seconds]
"You have loved him for a long time. And known him even longer."
[if Nona || Decuma]
[after 13 seconds]
"You were children when he moved away. But after years, he found you. As adults, your paths diverged. He worked, you went to school abroad. But after years, you found him. He left to see the world. And you wanted to stay."
[if Nona || Decuma]
[after 19 seconds]
[["But he has always found you."->Your Fate]][after 1 second]
You have always loved him.
[after 4 seconds]
...And you miss him dearly.
[after 7 seconds]
But you trust him.
[after 11 seconds]
And you know that, when the two of you are ready, you'll find each other again.
[after 15 seconds]
You always have.
[after 19 seconds]
And if you're worried, you can always ask [[the Fates.->Begin]]
