Primordials (2)

[Primordial Two]

The one responsible for the creation of elements like fire, water, air, and earth. 

Is eternal and exists within the world's natural elemental phenomena like volcanoes, hurricanes, and so on. 

Any more information is not available, and many around the universe have tried their best to summon the primordial but haven't succeeded so far. 

Most believe that the primordial is dead and think the primordial being eternal is a hoax. 

[Primordial Three]

The Chrono Serpent — A massive, serpentine entity that flows in and out of reality, representing the unbroken passage of time. Its body is covered in symbols of clockwork and stars, and many believe it to be coiled around the universe itself.

Ancient records state that this primordial exists outside time. It is alive and can intervene in time, but its influence is subtle and often invisible. Rarely seen, but its effects are felt everywhere.

Time exists because of this entity and is said to have been derived from it. 

Nobody has ever seen the primordial completely, but glimpses of a small part were seen at times. 

Everyone believes that this primordial exists due to the existences of constellations like Jörmungandr in the Norse Pantheon, Quetzalcoatl in the Aztec Pantheon, and Ouroboros in the Greek and Egyptian Pantheons. 

There's many cults out there that worship this primordial and try to derive power from it. They haven't succeeded so far, but they still keep trying. 

[Primordial Four]

The Cosmos Leviathan.

The void and space were derived from this entity. 

Alive. 

Swims through the void of space and is said to have a translucent form with galaxies and stars visible in it. 

Legends state that it has disappeared to the farthest reaches of the cosmos, but in the present day, most believe that only the one worthy could see and interact with this primordial. 

The first ancestor of the Leviathan Family among the Seven Sins was successful in drawing power from this primordial. It is for this reason that the Envy tribe among the demons is the second strongest, coming right below the Wrath tribe. 

[Primordial Five]

The mind and consciousness were the creation of this primordial. 

The primordial has no name and is omnipresent within everyone's consciousness and sentience. Is the reason why dreams, inspirations, and intellect exist. 

Although records state the primordial as eternal, for as long as there is consciousness, the primordial will live, but everyone officially classifies this entity as dead.

This is the most ignored primordial because there's not a single cult out there trying to harness the power of this entity or wanting to see or feel its existence. 

[Primordial Six]

Fate. 

Alive. 

Gender, species - unknown. 

The primordial is somewhere out there and is said to have multiple arms holding scissors, threads, and needles, weaving the threads of fate. 

It is said that this primordial is the reason as to why things happen in the way they do. It is also this very primordial that is so powerful that it could erase anyone or anything from existence. 

There's uncountable people out there worshiping this primordial and deriving some power from them and doing things. 

Many are actively searching for the primordial's location and hope to take control of all threads of fate as doing so is believed to make them omniscient and omnipotent.

The primordial has never been seen before, but their power and presence could be felt by people proficient in the fate and destiny related Paths like oracles, witches, prophets, and so on. 

[Primordial Seven]

The primordial from whom chaos and destruction is derived. 

Is said to have a monstrous, ever-changing form that embodies destruction and entropy. 

The form constantly mutates, with features of many beasts and creatures swirling within it, breaking apart and reforming.

The primordial is alive and dormant. When it'll awaken is unknown. Its location is unknown too. However, there have been ancient records stating its awakening. 

Different pantheons have different stories of destruction and often link it to this primordial. 

The Norse Pantheon believes that Ragnarok would occur when this primordial awakens.

The Angelic and Demonic Pantheons believe that Armageddon would be triggered by the awakening of this primordial.

Everyone takes this primordial seriously, and constellations from various pantheons try to cut down every cult or individual that tries to awaken this entity. 

The stability of the universe is directly tied to the dormancy of the primordial. 

If this primordial so much as sneezes, a vast portion of the universe could be obliterated, wiping out many pantheons in its wake.

"…and fun fact: Primordial Three, Primordial Six, and Primordial Seven are many a times interlinked with each other."

El finished her explanation on primordials and took a sip of tea to wet her dry throat.

Everyone in the room, including Julien and Eleanor, were amazed by the explanation. 

They asked El many questions on this and she patiently answered them for the next twenty minutes. 

Finally, Julien got back to the main topic, discussing his two companions' constellations.

"…so, Jackie already knows who his constellation is. Now it's your turn, Amelia."

After saying so, Julien directly addressed the question lingering in her mind. 

Why the name of her constellation was 'Demonic Inquisitor'.

"This title belongs to the Archangel Uriel. She only offers contact to the ones who are pure and faithful, like you, and tests them with her title. Most of such Players would avoid a constellation with demon in their title, and this would mean they weren't the ones for her."

"Oh my…" Amelia gasped. "I was about to do the same. I humbly apologize…"

"Don't sweat it, young lass." El interrupted her and said. "Nobody has ever accepted Uriel's contract despite being given to many. The reason is, she always gives it to very pure and innocent Novice Players who always think along the lines that a demon was trying to trick them with this."

"It's actually Uriel's fault for using such a title as her constellation name, not yours for rejecting her. You've done the right thing by thinking this way. Had you not, your purity might have been questioned."

El then winked at her, which Amelia obviously didn't see.

"…I am talking about your goodness related purity, not the virginity one."

"El!" Eleanor glared at her. 

El raised her hands and said, "Aye, I was joking…"

"Not funny…" Eleanor shook her head and said. 

To speak like that to a pure nun, that was definitely not right.

"Yes, yes, my apologies, moral officer." El chuckled and joked. 

El then placed her head on Julien's shoulder and hugged him from the side.

"Alright, continue on with your conversation. Daddy's going to take a lil break."

Julien and Eleanor both had gotten used to her calling herself daddy. They weren't fazed this time and ignored her.

Julien continued, "Right, so it's Archangel Uriel and…"
