The Fates

The Fates are the 3 main Gods that are worshipped in Enrish religion. They are extremely ancient deities, and are said to be one of the first beings ever to exist. In reality, the Fates are the Recorders. The Fates are only the Enrishnii term, and the Fates are a more minimalised version of the Recorders. Nevertheless, they are the same being.

The Three Fates represent Time itself, and that it is a constant cycle that repeats: Life, Growth, and Death. They believe that they are in a cycle of rebirth and growing, and that they can only escape the cycle when they did enough good deeds and followed the Enrish codes. By escaping, Enrishniis would take their place in the Tree of Audiences, becoming a holy spirit and watch the history weaves itself.

## PAST/PRESENT

Past is often called The Candle Holder or The Candle Keeper. Past's avatar is seen as a deity holding a lit candle, with eyes that were of depth and billions upon billions of little spark of flames. Its candles represented a life, and whenever it is snuffed out, that bird withers and dies. But it always light it up again, symbolising reincarnation. But whenever an Enrishnii escapes the cycle of rebirth, Past will place that flame onto The Tree of Audiences.

Past is seen as something unchangable and a piece of history that will forever be remembered. It is an Enrishnii's duty to create a better future for someone's past. Furthermore, Past's avatar can be depicted as a wise mentor, who's job is to help those learn from past mistakes, hence the proverb: "Study the Past, Better the Future."

## PRESENT/GROWTH

Present is often called The Author or The Smoke Weaver. Present's avatar can be seen as a scholar or a writer who weaves smoke from Past's candles, bending the smoke into substence, and have it write out its own story - representing the present playing out. Some records say that Present has more than billions of feathers that is always growing, and each feather helps Present weave out a soul's life. The back of Present's head is said to be non-existent, and the essence of knowledge itself floats from Present's head like smoke.

Present keeps a library of divine books that retold stories of people and stories yet to come; legend says that the library stretches out into eternity and beyond. Present is the only one that can be changed amongst the Three, the closest to the living beings, and it is what determines the future. Present is important for growth and the betterment of oneself, and to improve the moment instead of dreading in the past.

## FUTURE/DEATH

Future is often called The Collector or The Patient One. Depending on the person, Future's avatar can be seen as a majestic colorful bird with feathers that, when looked at, sees a moment in the future, which represents the fortune or misfortune of your life that lays ahead, and its ups and downs. But behind all those color stands a tall lean Avian who holds an oil lantern, patiently waiting for the soul's death (hencewhy The Patient One title). Future is the one that snuffs out the candles.

Future was rarely ever depicted as a looming darkness that consumes. Instead it was depicted as a friend who smiles when the soul meets it. Enrishniis believe that there is no need to fear death, as every soul will eventually face it one day, no matter how long that soul lives. Furthermore, Future is seen as a friend because Enrishniis believe that they have been reincarnated countless times, therefore have died as much - so Death is the friend that awaits every soul in the end. Additionally, Future represents the end of the story, and what life you have led in your life. It decides whether you're worthy of The Tree of Audiences or not.
