EPISODE 337; THE SIGIL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM; THE FOURTH PHASE; THE ORGANIZATIONAL CLASS OF SIGILS; THE SKY GRYPHON HOUSE PART I; THE MOBILE SKY FORTRESS
Our Four Teams Mitsuki and Arlene, Saito and Ariel, Keiran and Concordia and Ciella and I sat within the Pendragon Game Studio discussing our progress so far.
"I see, so the Three Houses guarded by Dreamweavers are more intensely besieged by the Weaver Of Calamity and his Forces" I analyzed the situation.
"The Weaver Of Calamity sent his Nightmare Patrols to Scout our House but they didn't specifically seem to radiate aggression towards our House. It appeared more to us as though they were trying to assess our Potential Threat Level" Arlene explained.
"I doubt that's the only reason" Keiran said.
"What do you mean?" Mitsuki asked.
"Your House in tapping into the Phenomenon of Thought Manifestation has crossed a Major Hurdle that will be beneficial to all Dream Knights. You are in essence the 'First Generation Of Technological Dreamweavers'. The Power Of A Dreamweaver in a sense mirrors the Powers Of Creation and the Weaver Of Calamity's attacks are mostly centred against the Human Soul and Spirit which are the centre of Creation for the Human Race. His attacks against our Resources and Physiological Needs are just a means to achieve the end of eliminating this creative power" Keiran explained.
"Technological Dreamweavers huh?" Mitsuki mused.
I nodded.
"You have successfully decoded the principle behind the Art Of Sigil Creation so I would advise you not to let down your guards. The Weaver Of Calamity claims to be targeting us Dreamweavers because our Power has the potential to shape and alter reality and by claiming this Power for himself, he hopes to achieve the end of creating a World Of Endless Nightmares but in hindsight, you could say that our Power Of Creation, which is antithetical to his power to seed fear and destructive thoughts and tendencies, is a direct threat to his power. I reckon from this moment, we will be relying more on our power as Dreamweavers, and your House Mitsuki and Arlene will be relying more on the Phenomenon Of Thought Manifestation. You will have to further develop this ability" I advised them.
"You guys lost your House's facilities when you had to migrate. Concordia at least has Seraphim Kraken Andromeda and Saito's Team and our Team managed to move our entire Houses into Olympus. Are you sure your House is alright?" Mitsuki asked in concern.
"We still have the Blueprints to our House and we didn't lose anyone in the Weaver Of Calamity's assault, I'd say that's a win" I informed Mitsuki.
"That's a positive way to look at things" Arlene said.
After discussing our progress, we all returned to our various Homes. We spent a week resting and analyzing all we'd learnt so far. After the week ended, we received notice that the next Phase Of The Sigil Enhancement Program, the Organizational Phase had finally been integrated into Gameplay. We returned to the Game Studio. We discussed the Weaver Of Calamity's threat briefly.
"Yeah, we all heard his Threat. He most likely intends to revive the Souls Of Evil once we get to the National Class Of The Sigil Enhancement Program which means we will have to fortify our Houses against the Modus Operandi of each of the Evil Souls before the time comes" I explained.
Then we placed our Headsets over our heads.
"Welcome to the Fourth Phase Of The Sigil Enhancement Program. Guess what? It's Base Building Time once more" my Dad's voice sounded.
I sighed deeply.
"It feels like we've been walking through endless cycles of Generation And Destruction" I said.
"Think of it this way, the Human Body Grows stronger through repeated cycles of Cellular Degeneration and Regeneration. The previous levels you've been through so far mirrored the passing on of 'Genetic' and 'Hereditary Traits'. This level is mostly going to be about the development of 'Acquired Traits' and will mostly mirror the 'Lightning Element'. As you already know, Organizations are in a sense 'Families' not built on 'Genetic Traits' but more on 'Shared Goals and Ideals' which aim to be achieved through the Coordination Of Effort and Resources" my Dad's voice explained.
I sighed deeply.
"Sounds like homework" I muttered under my breath.
"I will now discuss the features of this Phase but first I must congratulate Mitsuki and Arlene's Team for unlocking the ability of Thought Manifestation, that was indeed a Major Breakthrough. Now you will understand Dreamweaver insider jokes a lot better" my Dad said.
"If that's the only reason, no thanks" Mitsuki folded her arms and sighed.
"As I was saying, in the Rupturing Phase, you all came to realize the Living Nature Of The Mountain Of Olympus. Well then without specifically giving you spoilers, I would advise you to attempt flowing your Energies into Olympus…though that's just the beginning. That's all I will say on that topic" my Dad's voice said.
"As usual, he's not giving us any helpful clues" Concordia's eyebrows twitched in irritation.
"As usual, I will guide you through every Major Level with a set of insider jokes…uh-um…I mean hints" my Dad's voice said.
"Did he just call his clues 'insider jokes'?" Concordia growled.
"That's all for now" my Dad's voice said and the line cut.
I found myself on the Summit Of Olympus with Ciella. The Citizens Of Our House occupied all the Halls within Olympus, specifically the Halls that aligned with their affinities. They had spent quite a bit of time acclimatizing to the Elements within the Halls and had familiarized themselves with the Elements to a great extent. They were also now greatly familiar with the Zodiac Systems. I had delegated my Dreamweaver abilities to all of them to make the reconstruction of our House's facilities easier and more efficient.
"Flow our energy into Olympus huh?" I wondered and placed my hands on the Walls Of The Hall within the Summit Of The Mountain, the Hall Of Light.
The Citizens of our House seemed to pick up on my intent and within the various Halls Of Olympus, they placed their hands on the Walls and focused energy into the Walls. Gradually, the Mountain Of Olympus began to expand. All the facilities our House had lost since the beginning of the Weaver Of Calamity's siege began to materialize within the Mountain in each Hall aligning with the Halls that could most efficiently sustain their activities, the facilities corresponding to the Twelve Zodiac Systems, Aries, Taurus and Gemini, in the Hall Of Wind, Cancer, Leo and Virgo in the Hall Of Fire, Libra Scorpio and Sagittarius in the Hall Of Earth and Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces in the Hall Of Water. The other Elemental Halls were higher order variations of these Fundamental Halls and thus extended the abilities of the Zodiac Systems that corresponded to their Base Elements. The Citizens of our House were amazed at the sudden restoration of all we seemed to have lost. I focused more energy into the Walls of the Hall Of Light. This Energy flowed to the Lower Halls and rested within the Hall Of Wind and gradually we began to feel an uplifting force, a gentle upward push. The Opaque Walls Of The Halls turned into their Pure Corresponding Elements as they simultaneously became Transparent from within allowing us to view our external environment, the environment outside the Mountain. To everyone's amazement, our Mountain Of Olympus was now a Mobile Sky Fortress.
"A Mobile Sky Fortress huh?" Ciella stared at the Sky, Sea and Land from within Olympus.
"From this Fortress, we can scout for other Clans and Villages on the Land and plan rescue operations for any of them that are under assault from the Weaver Of Calamity's Forces. We just need to expand our Scouting Capabilities. Being in the Sky should also limit the ability of the Weaver Of Calamity's Ground and Naval Forces, we only have to worry about their Aerial Forces" I explained.
"You seem to have really thought this through" Ciella said.
Within the Mountain, Twenty One Gates materialized, Nine Celestial Gates and Twelve Terrestrial Gates. Six Of The Celestial Gates appeared to be unsealed, Three were sealed. The Twelve Terrestrial Gates on the other hand were all unsealed with each corresponding to each of the Twelve Constellations.
