Episode 83: The Alpha And Omega Gates!

EPISODE 83: XCALIBUR AOP 2! UNION OF THE WORLDS! THE FOURTH SESSION! THEMOUNTAIN OF OLYMPUS! THE ASCENT PART II: THE SEAL OF IDENTITY PART II: THEALPHA AND OMEGA GATES!

We had followed the trail leading towards the Mountain Of Olympus. It led us towards the Sea. We mounted our various Mobile Islands and pursued the trail. After roughly four days, we arrived at the foot of the Mountain.

"Congratulations on setting in place adequate measures in preparation for this event. You may not have noticed this Mountain here before however it has always been in this location since you began the Game. It was invisible to you though because you hadn't yet acquired the level of maturity needed to perceive it. However, as you matured, so did your perception. Finally, this Mountain is visible to you. Within this Mountain, you will encounter Seven Fields. Each Field is an Elemental Terrain corresponding to the Elements present in one of the Seven Stones Of Virtue. To complete each level, you will first require a Bloodline Limit and as such you will be taught these Bloodline Limits by a Dream Knight whose Elemental Affinity aligns with yours. You will next need to apply your knowledge of the Elemental Balance in Practical Ways. You will be challenging the Seven Souls Of Zanböngfar which you know now as Basilisks. You've defeated three of them already, four remain. Their activities have rendered the Fields currently inhospitable and to nullify the effects of their activities, you'll need to match them in Scale" my Dad's voice sounded.

We noticed a tremendous Gate in front of the Mountain. When we approached, we noticed images on it. One of the Gates was Bright, the other was Dark. On the Bright Gate were images of Seven People. Each of the people held a Stone. Surrounding these people were images of the elements. The images of the elements matched the colour of the Stone each of the images of the people held. Standing in the centre of the people was the image of a person. The elements from the other images flowed into the image of this person.

On the Dark Gate, there was also an image of a great monster with three heads and six tails. Each of the tails also had an element that matched one of the people depicted in the Bright Gate. Connecting the two Great Images on the Gates was what looked like a cord of elements and beneath the Great Images on the Gates was a Scale on which the two Great Images stood. The Scale appeared to be perfectly balanced.

I stared at the Gates in awe.

"Could these be the Alpha and Omega Gates?" I wondered.

"It's obvious that these images are of Dad and the Dream Knights as well as Zanböngfar and the Souls Of Evil. Each Stone has a corresponding Virtue. That Virtue is depicted in the Elements surrounding the images of the Dream Knights. Each Stone also has a corresponding Vice and that is depicted in Zanböngfar's serpent headed tails. The chord of elements bonding the images of the Dream Knights to one of Zanböngfar's tails depict the similarities in affinity between the Dream Knight and Zanböngfar's tails" Keiran said.

"However look, the Scale is perfectly balanced. Normally you'd think Good triumphs when evil is overthrown and evil triumphs when Good is overthrown however though they both occupy the same Scale, there isn't an imbalance in the Scale. It's a State of perfect Neutralization...or perhaps..." Arlene said as her eyes narrowed.

"...harmony?" she said as though she wasn't completely certain of what she was seeing.

"For now, let's go in" I said.

Almost immediately after I had uttered these words, the Gates parted. A bridge flowed out of the Gates which we mounted and led into the Mountain. Once inside the Mountain, we immediately noticed a path of bright torches burning with brilliant Crimson Flames. As we walked further into the Mountain, the flames began to alter in colour transforming from Crimson to Blue and finally ending in bright Golden Flames.

Once the Flames transitioned into a Blaze, a great door appeared. Burning around the door were Crimson, Blue and Golden Flames. On the image of the door was the image of a Dream Knight holding a fiery Stone. The Dream Knight had a shadow that extended behind her to form a great fiery dragon clutching Twin Blades. The flames stretched across the door to the image of a fiery shadow surrounded by intense black flames.

"Hey, doesn't that look like Shinsei Ryuuenjinn, Mom's ultimate Bloodline Limit?" I said and pointed to the image of the Dream Knight.

"So this image of a Dream Knight must represent the Kirisawa House Of Dream Knights. Flame is the dominant ability of the Kirisawa and Shinsei Ryuuenjinn is the Guardian Of The House" Saito noted.

"I see, so the first field must be a Field Of Fire. Then the Bloodline Limit we need to master first is a fiery one. In that case leave it to us the Dreamweavers. We'll be back soon" I said and opened the door.

My siblings followed me through the door.
