Gradually, in our various lands, we had begun to set up Ideals as well as Methodologies we hoped would lead us to their realization. In time, we received a new notification.
"Congratulations on completing the 'Operators And Assignments' Level. By doing this, you implemented the Clan Based Coordination System. That System is the building block for principles guiding both logic and management as well as Family Principles And Units. You still have a long way to go. In this level, you are going to begin to master the basic processes of Alchemy. Each of you must find the means to transform Sheep into a Mothership via Transmutation. Twisted minds will never grasp this concept hence you will not even need to rely on Stealth…however…please do! You need the Eyes of a Child but the Heart of a Father to see that of which I speaketh. To even stand a chance in this level, it is a prerequisite for you to have nullified the Basilisk's venom completely in the 'Cancer' and 'Scorpio' Levels and immunized yourself via the 'Aquarius' Level. That is the basic requirement at the very least. You must also have the support of a village of NPCs in the 'Gemini' Level. That diabolic Basilisk has set a very wicked jinx for you. A jinx that will behead the Wife if the Husband evades and behead the Husband if the Wife evades. Will Adam sacrifice Eve or will Eve sacrifice Adam? To avoid this jinx, the Husband And Wife must utilize the legendary Fusion Jutsu called Mutual Trust and obviously, if the Husband is an Immortal, the Wife is also an Immortal by integration and immune to the Basilisk's Fatal Gaze/Breath! To avoid this jinx, you must risk getting jinxed! You've fulfilled the requirement for acquiring Shelter And Food. To complete the First Level of that Pyramid called Abraham Mother's Laws Needs Theorem, the next thing you must acquire is Clothes! It's time to be fashionable! When it's hot, you wear light clothing, when cold, heavy clothing! Time to use them Temperature Adjustment Parameters and blind the Basilisk like no man's business! Protect the Bloodline with your Life! Weavers…your time to shine…has arrived! Time to be fashionable, the fundamentals of blending in! It's finally time to summon the Legend Of The Seven Seas! Dodge that Weaver Of Calamity with everything you've got by falling into its trap with a Life Jacket…and bait!" my Dad's voice sounded.
"Time to fish huh?!" I said with a smirk in my land.
In Keiran and Concordia's lands, Keiran had a very serious expression on his face. Concordia checked the Skills List and found two Skills. One of them was named 'Aries', the other was named 'Virgo'.
"Very interesting, 'Aries the Ram' and 'Virgo the Virgin', where Sheep become a Mothership. The Legend Of The Seven Seas is obviously Sinbad. When Dad says the Basilisk has set a trap that beheads the Husband if the Wife evades and beheads the Wife if the Husband evades, he's obviously referring to the events that occurred in the Garden Of Eden. The name 'Sinbad' is a big enough clue and if 'Sin' is really 'bad' then the name actually connotes 'Virtue'. Aries and Virgo obviously revolve around Virtue. The only way to evade this jinx is if the Husband and Wife proverbially become One through Mutual Trust. If the Husband is an Immortal, the Wife automatically inherits Immortality since they share a single body. The Husband is the Head Of The House who protects the family like a Shelter. If that Shelter is lost, the entire family becomes vulnerable. The Wife defends the Bloodline. If she is lost before the birth of her first child, the Bloodline will be completely annihilated and future generations cannot be born. From what Dad said, the Basilisk does not have a single target but rather two targets. The first is 'Virgo the Virgin' who defends the Bloodline, the proverbial Mothership. The second is 'Aries the Ram' who defends the House as the Shelter of the Family. To protect both Aries and Virgo, Aries must become the Mothership and Virgo must become the Ram, the legendary substitution jutsu known as the reversal of roles or the 'Cross Stance!' Keiran realized.
"I see" Concordia realized. "So that's why you stopped me from utilizing Elements Of Destruction but said San could utilize them" Concordia realized.
"I figured it was something like this when I previewed the sequence of events and heard the background to XCalibur AOP 2! Union Of The Worlds but even I didn't realize at the time that the Basilisk might actually be pursuing multiple targets" Keiran said seriously.
"Our objectives seem to have slightly changed as well. This time, it's not ourselves we must blind but rather the Basilisk. From what you just said it's obvious you think I'm one of the targets. Who is the other?" Concordia asked.
"The first is probably you because Sheep live in a Pen. Ironically, Lions live in a Den and your Family House is the House Of The Pendragon. You are most likely 'Aries The Ram'" Keiran said.
"'Aries?', Not 'Virgo'?" she said.
"'Aries'. San is most likely 'Virgo' because he wields the 'Tome Of Thirteen Rules'. However, if we reverse the logic, your sigil is the Kraken Andromeda which is a combination of the Kraken, Ruler Of The Seas and Andromeda, the Greek Princess plus the Kraken Mode takes on the form of Twin Tomahawks while the Andromeda Mode takes on the form of a Barrage Of Arrows. So you could be one or the other or you could be both. It's the same with San, not only does he wield the Tome Of Thirteen Rules but our grandfather, his predecessor, the Nightmare King is well renowned for his Archery. An Archery Skill that never misses its target regardless of the gaps in History. So San could also be one or the other or he could be both, at the same time it's completely possible that both of you are actually none. It's a Pyrostellis Luminares Formation, a formation my Dad used to throw off Zanfar's senses in the past" Keiran said with a smirk.
"Sounds more like a combination of Union, Intersection, Disjoint and Null Sets to me" Concordia stared at Keiran with an amused smile on her face.
"The goal is to get the Basilisk to bite the Null Set. I guess that's what my Dad meant by it's time to use them Temperature Adjustment Parameters and blind the Basilisk like no man's business. Zanfar and his minions interpret everything in terms of extremes. If it's not White, it's Black, if it's not Black, it's White. Occasionally, even they try to set a trap by combining the two and distorting them however every Dreamweaver and truly wise man knows that White Light can be diffracted into Multiple Spectrums. The Fusion Of All Colours can also result in the colour Black. The only difference is that both colours are at different ends of the Spectrum and are the only colours that cannot completely absorb each other hence the saying the elements interact in a Circular and flexible instead of a linear and rigid manner" Keiran explained to Concordia.
Meanwhile, I rested on the ground, staring into the Sky while Ciella sat beside me.
"Sounds pretty serious huh?" Ciella asked.
I took in a deep breath and sighed.
"Really, there's no need to panic Ciella. The moment I crushed that Basilisk by planting my Scale into its Skull was the moment the victor was decided. If it's wise, I won't even have to resort to reverse tracking methods. If it's foolish, it will try to disregard me while deluding itself into believing it has the upper hand only to encounter a rude awakening at the very end of the game. It's another one shot gambit with the potential for Mutually Assured Destruction however…I have no doubt that Basilisk will definitely lose" I said with a serious look on my face.
Ciella noticed the look of absolute confidence in my eyes.
"He's confident…but not conceited. He's aware of the risks" she realized.
"For now, my siblings, especially Keiran and I will have to work on some clothes for the rest of the Family. It's time for Dreamweavers to become fashion designers" I said with a sinister chuckle.
In their location, Keiran smirked as well.
"It's time to implement a Chainmail Of Flowers!" he said. "Mom…" he said as his voice gradually became more focused. "…it's your Birthday!" he said with a very determined smile.
