Meanwhile, in Asgard...
The Three Seers sat within their sacred temple, hidden inside one of Asgard's great mountains, gazing upon the Threads of Fate as they read the destinies of the many races scattered across the world.
The Threads of Fate stretched before their eyes like rivers of light, their radiance shifting whenever the future of a race changed.
Then...
One of those threads suddenly changed.
The eyes of all three Seers widened at the same instant.
They had witnessed the fate of the Dark Elves rise dramatically in an extraordinary and unnatural way.
The Three Seers fully opened their eyes.
One of them spoke,
"What do you make of this? Why has the fate of the Dark Elves risen so suddenly?"
Another replied, her eyes still fixed upon the Threads of Fate,
"We know they attacked the Elves' Sacred Tree... but that alone cannot explain why their fate has risen so abruptly, nor why fortune now favors them so greatly."
The third...
Remained silent for a few moments before saying,
"Let us send one of the rulers to investigate."
Silence filled the temple.
The Three Seers carefully considered the proposal.
After a few moments...
They agreed it was the right decision.
Most of Asgard's strongest rulers had already departed on their various missions, leaving only a handful behind to defend the realm.
Sending even more rulers carried considerable risk.
However...
The Three Seers had complete confidence in their own power.
They never imagined that anyone in the world could surprise them or surpass their ability to perceive the flow of fate.
Therefore...
They decided to dispatch a small team consisting of:
Nótt, the Ruler of Night.
Ól, the Ruler of Winter.
And Jörð, the Ruler of Earth.
Their mission was to infiltrate the Kingdom of the Dark Elves, spy on them, and uncover the true reason behind the sudden rise in their fate.
The Three Seers had chosen these three with great care.
Nótt...
Was the Ruler of Night.
Within darkness, his power made him seem like a mirage. If he infiltrated their kingdom, no one would sense his presence.
As for Jörð...
She was the Ruler of Earth.
The Kingdom of the Dark Elves lay deep beneath the ground.
There, her power would become truly terrifying, granting the team a tremendous advantage.
And then there was Ól...
The Ruler of Winter.
He had been chosen to provide the team with overwhelming combat strength should they be forced into battle.
The moment the Three Seers reached their decision...
They sent a spiritual message to each of them, explaining the mission and revealing the location of the Kingdom of the Dark Elves.
Meanwhile...
Ól was sitting peacefully atop one of Asgard's mountain peaks.
He was quietly training, using his power to spread frost and freezing winds across the mountain.
But...
The moment he received the Three Seers' message...
He immediately stopped.
He closed his eyes for a brief moment.
Then calmly said,
"So... it's time to move."
The moment those words left his lips...
Ice spread across the entire area.
He stepped onto it and calmly walked forward, each footstep forming a long bridge of ice stretching from the mountain's summit to its base, allowing him to descend with ease.
Elsewhere...
Inside one of the dark prison cells of Asgard...
Nótt was quietly observing the mermaid whom Odin had captured.
He looked at her silently before thinking to himself,
"I believe she'll become useful someday... whether we decide to invade her kingdom, rule over it, or exchange her for something valuable."
While he was lost in thought...
The Three Seers' message reached him.
He frowned slightly.
Then, in a single instant, he vanished from the dark prison, thinking to himself,
"So... we're heading to the Continent of Mira."
The moment he disappeared...
The captive mermaid suddenly opened her eyes.
She trembled in fear, frantically looking around.
Then she whispered to herself,
"How... did I end up here?"
Meanwhile...
In a rocky region of Asgard...
Jörð, the Ruler of Earth, was hard at work, using her control over the earth to create something.
The rocks around her moved with astonishing precision, as though she were sculpting a magnificent masterpiece.
But...
The moment the Three Seers' message reached her...
She stopped working.
She let out a quiet sigh.
Then muttered to herself,
"So... I'll be going on a mission with those two idiots."
She sighed once more before adding,
"I only hope they don't make this mission harder than it already is."
Nótt was well known throughout Asgard for his endless curiosity, which often got him into unexpected situations.
As for Ól...
He was famous for his icy demeanor.
His emotions seemed almost nonexistent, and no one could ever tell what was truly going through his mind.
