Angel didn't find any books on the hooded figure in his dream, which he already expected since he didn't have any clues as to who or from what time period the hooded figure had been or lived in.
However, since the figure had seemed to be complimenting himself for his work, which were the linked tapestries on the walls, he figured that he had to have been an artist. However, although that did narrow things down, it made things even more complicated.
Rarely were artists ever talked of in history, and when they were, the artists had achieved great, almost unthinkable things in their actions such as the first Artisan Nelaqüa, who wove the Thread of Life into tapestries, statues and paintings.
Unless the hooded figure had contributed greatly or his works were famous, he wouldn't have been known at all. Despite there being many hundreds of Stone-Dwellers who wished to become artisans, most weren't known at all, and even if they were, it was within a society and not as a whole; the artists showing or selling their pieces and drawings to those who may choose to become sponsors.
Angel looked at his notebook and for a brief second wondered if things would be a lot easier if he asked someone else wether they had seen the tapestry before.
Then that thought was gone and since he wasn't about to go back to the Temple of Sky all over again, he decided to read more on threads and weaving, Jess Queen's in particular.
After all, he hadn't forgotten the original reason as to why he'd decided to watch Destruction and Creation: to hopefully find a way as to how he could possibly find a core for his Tapestry as well as properly weave it together, starting the actual design and base structure.
Although he found more articles on Jess Queen and his opinions on the matter of Tapestries, none of them proved helpful, so he decided that he would try and pile together all of the information he had gathered and hopefully use that to try and come up with a design for his Tapestry.
Angel first wrote down what he'd found out about Destruction and Creation, that the backgrounds actually told stories of worlds, possible ones that had already existed, were in existence, or would come to be in existence, and how the actual background didn't always mean the same thing. Depending on which scenes came before them, the meaning could become entirely different.
Then he partly wrote and partly drew down what he knew of Jess Queen's Tapestry. Since he already had to tore out paper with the Tapestry on it, he didn't draw the entire thing and couldn't possibly draw it as good, but rather certain parts of things which he thought highlighted the parts he didn't understand, was curious about, or was interested in, such as how the shimmery core fed energy to all of the threads it came in contact with, and how the change of colour in the threads was in fact the energy spreading through it. He especially made clear how the energy—the colour that swept through—was in fact regenerating the threads, so that they could grow infinitely as long as the core and the threads were touching.
Combining them together, he them drew designs for how he thought that he could weave his Tapestry, and by relying for his sixth sense to spread out which would tell him that it was wrong, or right, as well as using a combination of logic and strange, half-thought-process-half-opinion, he was able to slowly work his way to drawing out entire designs for Tapestries.
From an almost exact copy of Jess Queen's Tapestry apart, Angel kept adapting it until the final result he achieved was something that worked extremely similarly to Queen's in the sense that both had a core, which was the centre part of their Tapestry, and that their core fed the threads energy which allowed it to regenerate.
However, in certain senses Angel's was also completely different. Jess Queen's Tapestry's threads were all interlocking, spreading out in seemingly formless manners from the core, but all touching the shimmery core at the middle.
Angel's, however, did not require for all of the threads to touch the core. The threads were also woven as tightly around the core, and while they were all connected, the Thread of Chill—drawn in blue—wound itself around the other threads, making it possible so that he would freely move only the Thread in Chill in his mind. This, although a seemingly small thing, made things completely different because the blue thread could then twist and turn itself, making it separate parts of the Thread of Stealth or Thread of Melody and lift them from the ensnarled mass of threads that clustered around the core, the only thing that still connected it to the core being the Thread of Chill which had woven itself into the ends of the other two threads until all the rest of the weaving in the ends of the threads became of the Thread of Chill as well as in the lining around the core.
Although the thread was still connected to the core, it didn't touch, allowing more of the core's energy to be spent more on the other threads instead.
This meant that in the future, he could easily change which thread he wanted to be most dominant in energy and power, then change it to another. This, however, did not mean leaving the other thread with no energy at all, merely that more would be spent on the other thread.
Apart from this, he also made other counterparts.
Although the Thread of Chill seemingly had no need for energy, in fact it did. Although it was not doing any of the actual work, the thread oversaw everything and held everything together. Because of this, the energy used to proper attend and sustain to its need was smaller, it needing to be refreshed once in a few hours.
Then this again left open a lot of energy that could be used for another, which was where Angel made a sort of countermeasure of interlocking threads which could swing themselves into place to be attached to the core. These were in case of the need of extreme measures, in which case the core would fully spend all its energy on sustaining these instead of all of the other threads.
So far, Angel had drawn out three.
Apart from these, he also drew some more threads that boosted his clarity of mind and clarity of notice, by combining threads of the Thread of Melody and Thread of Chill as well as design patterns of the Thread of Stealth, to gain similar effects. These took up the rest of the unused energy for the Thread of Chill, and could be swung in and out of place depending on what situation he found himself in.
This design pattern of his to-be Tapestry was unique in its function, and was something that a few months ago Angel couldn't even comprehend as the knowledge was something ridiculous at first glance.
It was incredible, and suited perfectly for Angel, which was to be more-or-less expected since he designs and drew his Tapestry himself.
He had wondered at the brilliance and strange beauty of Jess Queen's Tapestry, which still appeared as brilliant, perhaps even more so since he better understood the brilliance and thought behind it.
However, he no longer feared it, nor reverend it.
At first Angel had been wary of it, and wondered at its differences and brilliance. He had thought only of what would be most useful to his precious threads and not what truly suited him. He had thought that Jess Queen's Tapestry was perfect for him, but now he knew that it was not truly so.
He wasn't sure how, nor why watching the ever-changing background on Destruction and Creation had changed how he thought, but it had, and Angel became slightly joyful at that.
If he hadn't followed his sixth sense and instead directly chose to find out about cores, he would possibly have never drawn his own design of Tapestry. And that would have been an indescribable loss.
While the two Tapestries functioned in similar ways, they were internally completely different. Jess Queen had woven six threads: the Threads of Colour, Sight, Function, Melody, as well as two others he couldn't identify. They were designed different.
Since Jess Queen had six base threads, he had less to no energy left over to spare at all, so naturally his Tapestry would be quite different in design.
Angel had only two base threads, another one which he'd added later on. Therefore if he had used Queen's Tapestry as his own nothing would have worked out. There would have been much more energy left over, which may run rampage and destroy his mind in an explosion.
The two tapestries were made for different people with different personalities, ways of thinking and qualities which supported their character and decision. What would suite Jess may not suite Angel at all, which was why it had been so important for him to watch and understand Destruction and Creation.
