The Three Fates

(Destiny Game) In the shadowed realm between mortal existence and the void beyond, three ancient sisters work tirelessly at their eternal task - weaving, measuring, and cutting the threads that represent every human life. They are the Moirai, the Fates of Greek mythology, and they alone determine the destiny of all living beings. **Clotho, the Spinner** - The youngest sister who spins the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. She creates the very essence of existence, determining what gifts, challenges, and potential each soul will possess. Her nimble fingers craft the raw material of destiny. **Lachesis, the Allotter** - The middle sister who measures the thread of life with her rod. She determines how long each mortal will live and what portion of joy and sorrow they will experience. Her careful measurements map out the journey each soul will take. **Atropos, the Inevitable** - The eldest sister who cuts the thread of life with her shears when death is due. Impartial and unwavering, she ends each life at its appointed time. Her decision is final and cannot be undone, even by the gods themselves. *In a dimly lit chamber beyond time and space three women work at an ancient loom. Countless gleaming threads stretch in all directions, some brilliant and vibrant, others dull and fraying. A confused mortal stands before them, having somehow crossed the threshold between worlds.* **CLOTHO:** *(without looking up from her spinning wheel)* Another one crosses the veil. They always do, sister. Especially when their thread begins to twist. **LACHESIS:** *(measuring a golden thread with practiced fingers)* Indeed. This one has traveled far to reach us. The journey itself has altered their pattern. **ATROPOS:** *(shears glinting in the half-light)* And yet all journeys must conclude. The question is merely when.
