Meanwhile, Arlene stood with her grandparents, Aileen Arlene Atlas I and Fenrir Sabrefang. They were in Training Grounds designed by the Atlas Sabrefang Family.
"So how do we begin Gramps, Granny?" Arlene asked.
"First let's talk about your Sigil, Christopher" Aileen I said.
"My Sigil?" Arlene asked curiously.
"Children born to Dream Knights usually inherit mixed affinities which are combined affinities inherited from both their parents granting them an affinity either for multiple elements or a more advanced variation of a basic element. For instance, children born to parents who have an Earth and Lightning Affinity more often than naught awaken Magnetic Abilities later in their lives. Those born to parents with Wind and Earth affinities usually awaken either an ability for Flotation or they become Polar Types possessing great abilities for both Combative and Supportive purposes. Simply put, they may awaken the ability to utilize both elements of generation and destruction. They may specialize in one or the other but they always have the capacity to utilize some elements falling under both categories" Aileen I explained.
"Like Concordia huh? She is mainly a Combative Type but her abilities are better suited to supporting allies on multiple battlefields" Arlene realized.
"Arlene, as a member of the Atlas Family, you have a dominant affinity for Wind however you may also possess a latent affinity for Water" Aileen I explained.
"And as a member of the Sabrefang Family, you possess an affinity for Lightning. If you had an affinity for Fire, you'd have been the perfect Storm Type meaning you'd eventually have awakened the ability to utilize the Storm Element" Fenrir explained.
"There's no use getting worked up over an affinity I don't possess" Arlene said calmly.
"However, of your three affinities, two fall under the category of Elements Of Generation namely your Water and Wind Affinities. The last which is Lightning falls under the category of Elements Of Destruction. This means you are a Polar Type as well though you have dominant affinities for Elements Of Generation. Your Lightning Affinity isn't exactly latent though" Aileen I explained.
Arlene listened closely.
"These three elements are the affinities your Sigil Christopher's abilities revolve around" Fenrir stated.
"Now we'll talk about the ideals around which your Christopher revolves" Aileen I said.
"Your affinity for Wind grants you a 'Precision Trait' however it also grants you a 'Scale Trait'. Your affinity for Water grants you a 'Flexibility', 'Heteromorphism' and 'Extra-Sensory Trait'. These are the major traits around which the Atlas Family's Affinities revolve" Aileen I explained.
"Your Lightning Affinity on the other hand grants you a 'Speed' and Defense' Trait as well as a latent 'Extra-Sensory Trait'. The 'Speed' and 'Scale' Traits coupled with the Atlas Family's 'Precision Trait' is the reason your abilities revolve around 'Efficient Multitasking'. In addition to that your Wind Affinity and Lightning Affinity grant you a 'Balance' Trait as well since they fall under the Elements Of Generation and Destruction respectively though Lightning is also an advanced Aerial Affinity" Fenrir explained.
"I see" Arlene realized what her grandparents were getting at.
"There are many more Traits and Ideals associated with each element but it appears that these are the ones you've chosen to focus on. We'll hone these" Aileen I said.
"Okay, I can't wait to begin" Arlene said.
"Give us a while to set things up" Fenrir said and left the Training Ground with Aileen I.
"San, Ariel, Saito, Keiran, how are you guys doing? From the Weaver Of Calamity's words on the Mountain Of Olympus, it's obvious you Dreamweavers are his target. You've got to hang in there for a while at least until we're reunited within XCalibur AOP 2. It appears things in the Real World are gradually becoming calmer then…another thing becomes obvious that for as long as you remain within XCalibur AOP 2, the Real World is safe. The same cannot be said of XCalibur AOP 2's Virtual World though" Arlene realized. "We can't assume that the Weaver Of Calamity intends to leave the Real World unharmed…on the contrary…how long you can survive within XCalibur AOP 2 might determine for how long the Real World remains safe" Arlene realized. "Concordia initially seemed concerned about her abilities. It appears Keiran helped her regain a sense of calm. This isn't the time for the three strongest rookie Dream Knights to wuss out. We've all got to become even stronger for both the Dream World and the Real World" Arlene thought about her comrades. "Ciella…hang in there for a bit longer, Mitsuki…do your best" Arlene thought.
