EPISODE 317; THE RUPTURING! KNOWLEDGEABLE HOUSE OF THE WHITE LIGER! UNSEALING THE LIMITERS OF THE INTERNAL TITANIUM CHRONO CHROME! THE FIRST BARRIER PART V; UNLOCKING THE FIELD OF WATER(AQUA)!
Mitsuki(Selene) and Arlene(Undine) walked towards the Gate Of Time. They inspected the Tablet before the Gate to derive a sense of the Conditions necessary to unlock the Gate Of Time. The Tablet before the Gate was made of Quartz. This Tablet unlike the previous Gate's Tablets had Two Activation Conditions. The First Stated 'The Power Of Temperance'. The Second Stated 'Activate All Other Halls'.
"It appears we cannot yet activate The Hall Of Time. Let's move on to the Hall Of Water" Mitsuki suggested.
Mitsuki and Arlene headed towards the Gate Of Water. Before this Gate was a Tablet made out of Sapphire. The Activation Condition on this Tablet read 'The Powers Of Rebirth, Life, Kindness and Purification'.
"It appears we may be able to go through this Gate" Mitsuki noted.
"It also appears that there might be complexities and subtleties with the Field Of Water" Arlene said as Mitsuki laid her palm on the Tablet.
Wavy patterns danced across the Gate Of Water as it parted. The Girls and Helios walked into the Hall Of Water. Within this Hall were Four Subhalls namely the Subhalls Of Cloud, Snow, Waves and Wood. The Subhalls Of Cloud and Snow appeared to be fused leaving the other two Subhalls seemingly separate. Arlene and Mitsuki headed into the Subhall Of Cloud. There they found that the ground was quite wet. They noticed an Electromagnetic Field surrounding the Subhalls Of Snow and Cloud similar to what they encountered in the Hall Of Earth. Mitsuki generated a bubble of insulation around herself, Arlene and Helios to prevent them from being inadvertently harmed by radiation.
"I see. This seems to be simulating the ability of a Planet's Electromagnetic Field to contain the Planet's Atmosphere" Mitsuki said and began to raise the Pressure in the Subhall Of Cloud by causing the air within the Subhall to collapse in on itself rapidly. This gradually caused the moisture on the Ground to evaporate into the air but prevented it from dissipating past the Electromagnetic Field thus generating Clouds within the Subhall Of Cloud.
"You can think of Clouds as Storehouses Of Atmospheric Energy maintained via a careful balance between Celestial and Terrestrial Conditions. They have the capacity to act as both Tensors and Tension Release Mechanisms for a Planet. Hot Climates act as tensors for a Planet's Atmosphere as we are now witnessing in the Subhall Of Cloud. You can think of Storms, Snow and Rain then as mechanisms to release the built up energy or Tension within a Planet's Atmosphere" Mitsuki explained as a storm began to build up within the Subhall Of Cloud. "Storms then can be proverbially said to be a Planet literally blowing off some steam made manifest via virtue of its atmosphere".
"So the accumulation of Clouds is the Tensor Mechanism Of A Planet's Atmosphere and the raging of Storms is its Tension Release Mechanism to put it proverbially?" Arlene wondered.
"The Atmosphere Of A Planet is maintained by the Harmony Of The Planet's Interactions with its Celestial Neighbours as well as the Planet's own Geological Activities. For instance, the Sun's Ultraviolet Rays supply the Earth's Atmosphere with Energy. The Earth's Electromagnetic Field in turn prevents its Atmospheric Energy from dissipating into the Cosmos. The Moon has an influence over the Ocean's Tides. The Tilt Of The Earth on its axis as well as its position when facing the Sun and Moon during its yearly revolution determines the Seasons. You get the picture" Mitsuki explained.
As the Temperature in the Subhall Of Cloud began to drop, it began to rain in both Subhalls till eventually it was raining in the Subhall Of Cloud and snowing in the Subhall Of Snow.
"Harmony huh? Kindness…" Arlene seemed to be reflecting on one of the Activation Conditions.
"What?" Mitsuki asked.
"Well, according to Christopher, the word 'Sapphire' could possibly be derived from the Hebrew Words 'Sappir' or 'Shapar' with 'Shapar' translating to 'to be pleasing' or 'harmoniously composed' and the Latin Word 'Aqua' which means 'Water' sounds quite like the English Word 'Acquire'which means to 'Procure', another interesting play on words. There may be no obvious connections between the words but it's best to keep an open mind" Arlene noted.
"My Sigil is really putting us through the Linguistics Wringer huh?" Mitsuki said with a laugh.
"It's your subconscious we should thank or blame for this" Arlene said.
Mitsuki laughed in response.
Next, the Girls and Helios headed towards the Subhall Of Waves. It appeared completely empty with no distinct defining features.
"According to Christopher, this Hall appears to be brimming with Elemental Energy. I think this means we might need to tap into Extra-Sensory Perception here" Arlene realized.
"I see…Waves after all…" Mitsuki said as she shut her eyes. "…are visible imprints of invisible energy" Mitsuki said as she opened her eyes.
She had synced to the Wavelength Of The Heatwaves in the environment and could now visible perceive the Heatwaves. She shut her eyes and synced to Wind. When she opened her eyes, she could visibly see the Aerial Currents around her. She shut her eyes and opened them syncing to the Wavelengths Of Earth. She could now see an Ethereal Energy heading Northward and other Ethereal Energies heading in directions corresponding to the positions of various Celestial Bodies. She shut her eyes and synced to the Wavelength Of Chrono Waves within her environment and when she opened her eyes she could perceive the Vitality Levels within Helios, Arlene, Selene, Undine and herself. She could also see what factors caused strain to them and what factors boosted their energy levels. She could perceive the ages of structures within the Halls accurately as well as their wear and tear over time and could accurately denote the factors that led to such. Mitsuki shut her eyes, synced to the Wavelength Of the Hydro Waves within the Hall and opened her eyes. This time, she could perceive distinct patterns in the things surrounding her and could accurately decipher these connections. She shut her eyes, synced to the Wavelength Of Lightning Waves and opened her eyes. Now she could see the frequency, oscillations, traits and properties of the Elements surrounding her as well as the Phenomena evoked by their interactions. She shut her eyes for the seventh time and synced to the Wavelength Of Light in the Hall. Then she opened them. Finally she felt her mind expand as the significance of all of this became apparent to her. Mitsuki could also perceive the Waves emanating from Arlene's Christopher. She synced to these Waves and converted all the data she had gathered into representations Arlene would be able to comprehend. Arlene in turn recorded all that data within Christopher.
"Amazing! This would make for some phenomenal tutorials for our Dream Knight Allies" Arlene was excited by all the data. "Waves are not only visible imprints of invisible energy. They are also Physical Manifestations Of Spiritual Energy and at the same time they are storehouses of Elemental Energy and Data" Arlene realized.
"They are also veils concealing layers of Reality. Tapping into specific Waves is quite similar to having an Augmented Reality overlay within one's environment" Mitsuki noted.
"Yeah, each type of Wave conceals specific facets of Reality" Arlene realized.
Arlene and Mitsuki noticed Plants beginning to sprout from the Subhall Of Wood.
"I see, now that the Halls governing the Four Basic Elements are active, the Halls Of Wood are beginning to nurture life" Mitsuki realized.
Mitsuki synced to the Wavelength Of Water in the Hall and began to perceive structures in the Crops relating to Water Transport. She synced to the Wavelength Of Lightning and could perceive the Bioelectromagnetic Aura around the Plants. She stared at Arlene and herself and noted the Compartmentalization Of The Psyches Of Their Vessels to house their separate essences. She also noted that there appeared to be a direct correlation between the range of Water Transport in the Plants and the strength of the Bioelectromagnetic Aura around the Plant. She stared at Arlene and that was when she realized that this was not limited to the Plants alone. There was a definite connection between Water Transport in Living Beings and the strength of their Bioelectromagnetic Auras. This she concluded may be linked to the ability of Water to transform a unidirectional electric current into an omnidirectional one. As she usually did, Mitsuki looped the Energy Generation and Accumulation Process in this Hall as well.
