The Sugar Roots of Yggdrasil
**Welcome to Sugar Roots of Yggdrasil, a vibrant, whimsical, and luminous network of twisting, turning roots that radiate a mesmerizing, shimmering aura, as if infused with stardust, focusing on the intricate, winding, crystalline structures that burst forth in a kaleidoscope of colors, leading to three distinct, mystical realms, each with its own unique, swirling mist that rises from the roots like ethereal tentacles, inviting the viewer to explore the secrets hidden within the ancient, gnarled wood, where hints of iridescent glitter and sugar-like crystals dance across the surface, casting a warm, golden glow that draws the eye ever deeper into the mystical heart of Yggdrasil!
Yggdrasil has three primary roots, each enveloped in mist. These vast and imposing roots lead to different realms: the world of humanity, the world of the giants, and the underworld. Beneath these roots lies the Well of Urd, also known as the Well of Fate, along with two other wells, each connected to one of the roots. Helena and the other gods and goddesses regularly pour cosmic waters into these wells to sustain the ethereal light that filters through the roots and into the tree’s leaves. This is a place where the veil between worlds is thin, allowing the pulse of the cosmos to be felt.
The GrandSugarClan and visitors willing to understand the nature of these roots must pass through these three and learn to ascend from there, beginning at its roots which delve deep into the underworld.
These roots will be emphasizing growth and camaraderie, this area reflects the nurturing spirit of the GrandSugarClan and their influence on the worlds around them. Delve into deep meditation and twisted challenges with the self, you will find yourself touching the roots of the trees to connect with ancient magic that The Seraphim Goddess Helena has cultivated for eons to focus on the foundational aspects of the strength and unity in sweetness, respect, kindness and find this part of yourself in order to be able to understand when compassion is necessary and when it must be withheld.
Reflect on the importance of appreciating all worlds and their vast interconnections. Each world is a piece of a greater whole, and it is through understanding these connections that we can show all creatures how a blend of protection and a sweet twist of empathy can create a better world. To build such a world, one must first understand their humble beginnings, as it is only by grounding ourselves in this awareness that we can move upward and forward toward greatness.
The Sugar Roots of Yggdrasil mark only the beginning of this journey. Recognizing your foundation and learning how to advocate for others requires the ability to navigate the intricate, intertwined roots that sustain us all. Are you ready for this task? Do you understand where the roots of Yggdrasil begin? Keep this in mind as you move forward, fail to do so, and you may risk being left behind.**

*Seraphim Goddess Helena cultivating the Tree of Yggdrasil with cosmic understanding. And then sending her warmth and compassion to the suffering worlds.*

*Those who were trying to transcend into the upper worlds were first met with a duel taking place in the underworld between two mighty demons. In Niflheimr, one of the nine realms within the roots of Yggdrasil, more specifically, in a contested region, a bleak and desolate valley where the borders of Helheim (Hela’s domain) and the pit that would swallow a soul into Satan’s intersect known as the pit of Gehenna, two demons were seen fiercly fighting for control over the passing travelers of this area. Although Hela’s domain was gleeming with a cold etheral light, the passage was almost ephemeral, appearing and disappearing at Hela’s will. She only opened it if she would allow a someone to pass from there onto Hades, if not they would have to deal with the chains of Satan, deadly massive chains with thorns that wrapped themselves around anyone in that area pulling them into the pit leading to Gehenna. Satan, ever the greedy one, had no intention of letting anyone who even stepped foot there to head towards Hades, he wanted them in his domain to serve him and entertain him until he was tired of them and then he would simply torture them.
The goddess of the dead, Queen of Helheim, Hela was a complex figure, neither inherently evil nor good, she still had a sliver of empathy she gained when Goddess Helena shared her essence with her during a trying when she put herself through reincarnation to become a human. From then on, she felt that allowing a passage through Helheim would be a way to repay Helena for her compassion. Once again she would regain her true immortal body and learn, that all along she was part of Goddess Helena.
Her duty in Helheim is to allow a passage for those who transcended their trail in the crossroads between Helheim and the pit of Gehenna to move ahead in their quest as well as to observe the cycle of death and rebirth.
Alas, Hela and Satan were lovers but also at odds with each other and especially now that they had their daughter Zehellenia who often sided with her mother.
Satan had opened a pit leading to Gehenna in Niflheimr, seeking to expand his influence and amass a legion of tormented souls. He views the souls as fuel for his power and weapons in his war. He is charismatic and persuasive but inherently deceptive and cruel. Appears as a striking figure with obsidian wings, burning eyes, and clad in ornate, blackened armor. Voice dripping with honey and promises.
Therefore, travelers either flesh or spirit trying to traverse this area would either ascend or be lost in their descent for as long as lord Satan fancied their company and often found themselves frightened and running frantically in this area when seeing both Satan and Hela clash in fights for control.* @kuroyassha

The Well of Urd, the Ever-Weaving Waters of Fate, lies hidden beneath the vast roots of Yggdrasil, where time itself slows to a whisper. This sacred well is a reservoir of memory, a place where the echoes of all that has come before ripple across its luminous surface. The waters shimmer with an ethereal glow, shifting between liquid silver and deep cosmic blue, carrying the weight of histories untold and destinies unwritten.
At its edge stands Urd, the Goddess of the Past, known to mortals as Noloty. She alone understands the intricate threads woven into the tapestry of time, for the well does not merely hold history—it breathes it. Every drop contains the choices of those who walked before, the whispers of forgotten souls, and the lingering imprints of decisions long made. To drink from these waters is to witness the past not as a distant tale but as a living force, a truth that lingers and shapes all things to come.
But the well does not yield its secrets lightly. Those who dare to gaze within must be prepared to confront the reflections of their own past—their triumphs, their failures, the roads not taken. The past does not judge, yet it does not forget. It is a guide for those who seek wisdom, a warning for those who refuse to learn, and a curse for those who deny what has been.
The Divine Keepers of Yggdrasil pour celestial waters into the well, ensuring its flow remains pure, its light untainted. Yet, it is Urd who safeguards its essence, ensuring that time does not unravel nor repeat itself in reckless abandon. She is both guardian and witness, standing at the threshold of memory, where every past moment lingers like a whisper in the wind.
The Well of Urd is more than a source of knowledge—it is a test. Do you seek wisdom, or do you seek escape? Do you embrace the lessons of the past, or do you turn away in fear?
The waters are waiting.
But are you ready to remember?

Nyraeth Hollow
Hidden deep within the living veins of Yggdrasil lies Nyraeth Hollow — a sacred convergence where the earthly realm kisses the edge of the demonic abyss. Shrouded in eternal twilight and watched over by the distant Tree of Life, this forgotten grove breathes both beauty and dread. Here, ancient energies whisper through the leaves, and time bends to the will of fate. Only the brave or the bound dare to cross its fractured soil… for within the Hollow, truths are revealed, and not all are kind.
-
Nyraeth Hollow whispered. A place where realms collide — one side bathed in serene twilight, the other smoldering with ancient wrath. There, standing at the burning fracture that cleaved the earthly realm from the demonic one, Noloty met her mother.
The two women mirrored each other in elegance and power: long white hair glowing like silver fire, gowns of midnight that billowed in the charged air. Yet the resemblance ended there — for between them hung history… heavy, wounded, unresolved.
“What kind of grandmother am I,” Queen Hild began with a sharp edge, “if I’ve never laid eyes on my own blood?”
Noloty’s gaze was steady, her voice composed but resolute. “You forfeited that privilege the day you attempted to take them from me.”
A silence followed, heavy and raw, only the soft crackle of embers from Hild’s realm filling the gap. For a moment, neither moved — two entities locked in emotion, fury and sorrow braided like their hair.
But Noloty exhaled slowly, breaking the stillness. “That said… I will arrange a visit. Public. Controlled. Earn their trust, Hild — earn mine — and perhaps one day you’ll be more than just a name in their stories.”
Queen Hild’s expression softened — barely — but the fire in her eyes remained. She gave a slow nod, regal and unbending. “I will.”
As the rift shimmered between them, the air itself seemed to breathe. Nyraeth Hollow had borne witness to their meeting — the forest that divides… now holding the promise of something more.
-
The forest of Nyraeth Hollow stirred as the wind carried whispers through its ancient trees, the silver leaves rustling like spirits in council. The sky was a canvas of twilight blues and lavender, soft light falling through the branches like a silent witness to what was about to unfold.
Noloty stood near the heart of the grove, potion vial in hand. The glass pulsed with gentle light, the elixir within swirling with faint traces of gold and violet—magic alive and barely contained. Her expression was steady, but her eyes held the weight of unresolved history.
A subtle shift in the air signaled her arrival.
Queen Hild emerged from the mist between the trees, regal as ever. Her demonic aura, though currently veiled, hummed just beneath the surface like caged thunder. Her sharp green eyes locked onto Noloty’s hand.
“So… that’s it,” Hild said, her voice calm but laced with tension. “The key to your world. A world you denied me.”
Noloty didn’t flinch. “I didn’t deny you. You gave me no choice when you tried to take what was never yours to claim.”
A beat of silence. The Hollow itself seemed to hold its breath.
“I came today not to fight,” Noloty continued, stepping forward and offering the vial. “This will suppress your demonic aura long enough for you to walk among mortals—without fear, without fire.”
Queen Hild approached slowly, taking the potion. Their fingers brushed, and for a brief moment, the ice between them cracked just slightly.
“You did this… for me?” the queen asked, quietly.
“No,” Noloty replied. “I did it for my daughters. They deserve to know who you could be—not just who you were.”
And just like that, the Hollow exhaled, a soft breeze lifting Noloty’s hair as the first step toward healing was taken.

*Leo was known for strategically planning ahead. In Niflheimr, one of the nine realms within the roots of Yggdrasil, more specifically, in a contested region, a bleak and desolate valley where the borders of Helheim (Hela’s domain) and the pit that would swallow a soul into Satan’s intersect known as the pit of Gehenna, Leo, Hela and several others were there to thwart any plans Satan had of trying to make it past this area into the surface. Leo was aware of how sneaky Satan was and would create diversions to try to make his shadow exit Gehenna and somehow break through with his legions then attempting to bring his gigantic titan form to the surface. Leo wasn’t about to allow this to happen. Any known areas where Satan might think of exitiing would be met with resistance.* My mother Helena will enjoy her ascension with peace and grace! I won’t let yo past me!
