After completing the Family Class Sigil Enhancement Program, we spent some time in the Real World. It was a bright and early morning in Dream City. My family sat at table eating breakfast. Suddenly, we heard a knock at the door. Saito opened the door and found Mitsuki, Concordia, Arlene and Ciella.
"It's you guys, come in" she greeted.
The four girls were ushered to the Dining Room where the rest of us were.
"What's up you guys?" I greeted happily.
"The Tribal Class Of Sigils with regards to the Sigil Enhancement Program has finally been integrated into XCalibur AOP 2! Union Of The Worlds. It seems this chapter is going to be slightly different from the first two chapters of the Sigil Enhancement Program. Let's head over to the Game Studio and try it out" Concordia said enthusiastically.
So the eight of us headed to the Pendragon Game Studios and prepared to play the next chapter. We placed our virtual headsets over our heads and the console was turned on.
"Welcome to XCalibur AOP 2! Union Of The Worlds Chapter Five: The Summit Of Olympus Part Three: The Tribal Class Of Sigils! The Rupturing!" my Dad's voice rang.
"The Rupturing?" I wondered.
"You ascended the Mountain Of Olympus defeating the Weaver Of Calamity's Forces while turning the Climates within the Mountain Hospitable. However, what you failed to realize was the fact that time flowed a little differently within the Mountain than outside it. The feat that took you relatively a few months to accomplish within the Mountain occurred over a timespan of Four Hundred Years outside it. The Weaver Of Calamity's forces that were driven out of the Mountain secretly began to plot their vengeance and began to realize that since they failed to defeat you in battle, the next best way they could defeat you was to destroy everything you had tried to build. For the first hundred years, things were relatively peaceful in the lands below. During those hundred years of peace, your deeds were forgotten by your people and the legends of the Guardians who had once defended them faded into myth. Once hundred years had passed, the Weaver Of Calamity commenced his assault on your Peristylia. The first phase of the assault involved cutting off access to the Sea now filled with Phoenix Tears which was the source of your Peristylias' immunity. This time however, your people were not taken hostage, at least not directly. The Weaver Of Calamity's Army couldn't approach them since Phoenix Tears now ran through their veins so they predominantly resorted to long range ambush. The second phase of the siege was to mount fortifications all around your Peristylia thus cutting off access to your Hunting Grounds and Farms as well as your Trade Partners. Now your people were basically living by a thread, doomed to die out once their resources were exhausted. The Stellar Systems that had once protected them had been forgotten, passing into myth.
Fortunately, as you battled the Weaver Of Calamity's forces on the Mountain Of Olympus, the Mountain which was sentient though you had not realized it yet had begun to recover from the evil climate placed on it by the Weaver Of Calamity's forces" my Dad's voice narrated the backstory.
"The Mountain is alive? What sort of plot are you cooking up now?" my eyebrows twitched in mixed feelings of amusement and irritation.
"Indeed, the Mountain is alive! The Mountain realizing the danger to your people on the land below erupted in anger and in a fit of rage was ruptured into four equal parts" my Dad said.
"He split it! He split the Mountain!" I screamed in shock.
"The Mountain is throwing a tantrum!" Keiran screamed in shock.
"What an obnoxious plot twist" Concordia said with a bored look on her face.
"I'm way past the point anything Uncle Zan says surprises me" Mitsuki said with an amused look on her face.
"Drifting for four hundred years over the Ocean, each quarter of the Mountain eventually attached to one of your continents and over time the fragments of the Mountain Of Olympus became Four Separate Mountains. The Climate within the Mountain is now hostile to the Weaver Of Calamity and his forces, at least the parts of the Mountain you have conquered so far are. You must now lead your people to the Mountain! This is XCalibur AOP 2! Chapter Five Part Three: The Rupturing!" my Dad's voice narrated.
"I stand corrected. Your Dad keeps finding new ways to surprise me" Mitsuki said with a look of amusement on her face.
