Little beings might twist and turn, desperately seeking to free themselves out of these shackles, Yet, Fate offers no hope. Neither does it extend any sympathy as there is little to no remorse. The Universe ties all things and beings together. There is Order in the subtle Chaos of intertwined threads.

The Goddess of Fate - Laima - carefully weaves new threads into the linen of Life. Her hands cup success and sorrow as it is poured into the Destiny of a new being. As Laima assigns one their Fate, she makes sure all creatures follow the path given. Throughout the journey, the Goddess of Fate oversees the humble sufferings as well as the great achievements of every living being.
