EPISODE 319; THE RUPTURING! KNOWLEDGEABLE HOUSE OF THE WHITE LIGER! UNSEALING THE LIMITERS OF THE INTERNAL TITANIUM CHRONO CHROME! THE FIRST BARRIER PART VII! LUX! UNLOCKING THE FIELD OF LIGHT!
Selene(Mitsuki), Arlene(Undine) and Helios now stood before the Gate Of Light. On this Gate, there was an image of two Titanic Dragons, one glowing brilliantly like the Rainbow and the other shrouded in thick Darkness. They appeared to be struggling over what appeared to be the Body of a Mortal. Before this Gate was a Tablet made out of Topaz. Written on the Topaz Tablet were the conditions necessary for the activation of the Gate Of Light. The Conditions read;
"The Power To Define Reality; Of Truth And Revelation".
Mitsuki touched the Topaz Tablet. A brilliant Golden Light illuminated the Gate emphasizing the distinct features of the Two Titanic Dragons locked in conflict as the Gate Of Light slowly parted. Mitsuki, Arlene and Helios walked into the Hall Of Light. Immediately they entered the Hall, they had to shield their eyes as they were bombarded by radiant beams of white light streaming towards them from what appeared to be a Sun blazing at the centre of the Hall.
"Weird…is that a Sun?" Mitsuki wondered.
"If it were, we would have been burnt to death by its punishing rays" Arlene said.
"It's pure light…without heat?" Mitsuki wondered.
"It's more like the Heat is contained within preventing it from extending past its body" Arlene analyzed the Sun with Christopher.
Then the girls and Helios noticed Seven Portals surrounding the Sun. Each portal appeared to be uniquely coloured and led to what seemed like a Transparent Hall screened by an ethereal light the color of the Portal that led to it.
"The Colours Of These Portals seem to be the same colours of the Rainbow namely Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet" Arlene realized.
"Let's study the Halls these Portals lead to in order" Mitsuki suggested.
Arlene nodded. Mitsuki and Arlene approached the Red Portal. As they approached it, a brilliant beam of light from the Sun struck the Red Portal and images of War and Bloodshed began to manifest within the Red Hall. The manifested images showed scarcity of resources and struggles over territory. There were scenes that displayed selfishness on both an individual and communal scale as well as scenes of valiant sacrifices to protect the weak and vulnerable.
"I see…the Red Spectrum Of Light seems to signify War, Sacrifice and Loss. That's basic knowledge for any Dream Knight. These images seem to be a kind of warning regarding the consequences of Greed and Selfishness" Arlene explained.
"Let's move on to the next Portal" Mitsuki suggested.
The two girls and Helios approached the Orange Portal next. As they approached it, a brilliant beam of light from the Sun struck this Portal and images begun to manifest within it as well. The image began with Darkness, then slowly, the Sun began to rise. The girls and Helios followed the Sun's journey across the Sky till it set, then the images began to speed up. Sunrises and Sunsets passed rapidly and Spring was upon the land. The Plants sprouted, the Flowers bloomed, then the images transitioned to the Summer Heat by which time the Plants seemed to have matured slightly, then Autumn came and the leaves and flowers began to wilt and dry up, then fall from the Trees, then Winter came leaving the Plants bare and almost dead, but then Spring came again and the Plants sprouted to life once more.
"The Orange Spectrum Of Light seems to connote the Cycle Of The Seasons which at a deeper level connote to the Cycles Of Life and Death" Arlene realized.
Mitsuki had realized this as well.
"Let's move to the next Portal" MItsuki suggested.
The girls and Helios moved to the Yellow Portal next. Images began to manifest within this Portal as a brilliant beam from the Sun struck this Portal. In the images, the Sun shone brightly, then rain fell to the Earth and Plants began to grow. Then Animals began to feed on the Plants, then on one another. Then finally, Humans began to consume both the Plants and Animals. The Humans began to harvest resources from the Earth and Civilization slowly began. Mitsuki and Arlene noted that the Civilizations began by the Humans was centred on the Harvesting and Distribution Of Energy and Resources and this seemed to mirror ecological relationships in the Wild based on the Food Chain and Predatory Behaviour.
"I see, so the Orange Spectrum Of Light we previously observed signified Transitions whereas this Yellow Spectrum Of Light signifies Energy" Arlene pointed out.
"The Green Portal is next" Mitsuki pointed out.
As the girls and Helios approached the Green Portal, a beam of Light from the Sun struck it and images began to manifest within it. The images were similar to those seen in the Orange and Yellow Portals. The images began with the Shining Sun, then Rain, then the growth of Plants but this time Mitsuki noted that there was a pattern to the Predatory Behaviours of the Wildlife. The Wildlife never consumed more than what was necessary. The Animal Life did not simply consume but also proliferated life by aiding the Plant life spread their Pollen and Seeds across the land thus encouraging Wildlife Diversity. They spread Pollen when they moved amongst similar Plants while grazing and spread Seeds by consuming fruits from the Plants and excreting the Seeds during their Migrations thus ensuring that Plants that would otherwise have been confined to a small area found the chance to extend their range as well as diversify Forest Life. When the Animals died, Scavengers consumed them and aided in breaking down their remains thus preventing epidemics and the proliferation of excess Pathogens. In the Human World, the images showed Humans managing their resources and energy prudently and recycling waste materials. They didn't consume more than was necessary and transformed materials that would naturally be tough to break down into new items.
"The Green Spectrum Of Light seems to connote the Prudent Conservation and Management Of Life and Resources. Its theme seems to be focused on encouraging Vitality" Arlene realized.
"Next in line is the Blue Portal" Mitsuki pointed out.
As the girls and Helios approached the Blue Portal, a brilliant beam of light struck it and images began to manifest within. This Portal displayed Humans engaged in communication and interactions. The Energies that correlated to the Humans' states of mind were displayed as Bioelectromagnetic Auras enveloping their bodies that altered their color in response to the Humans' states of mind. When the Humans for instance were engaged in arguments and heated debates, their Auras were Red. When they talked or thought of Time Sensitive Events, their Auras glowed Orange. When they sought nourishment due to Energy Depletion, their Auras glowed Yellow. Whenever they felt deeply grateful for life or cherished it, their Auras were Green. Blue Auras displayed their Mental States at rest. Indigo was the glow of their Auras when they were engaged in Spiritual Activities and their Auras were Violet when they were Violent.
"I see, the Blue Spectrum Of Light seems to connote Consciousness" Arlene noted.
Next the girls and Helios headed to the Indigo Portal. Within it were Humans either Meditating or engaged in Prayer. Many Symbols manifested around these Humans including the image of the Two Titanic Dragons engaged in Cataclysmic Conflict over the Body Of A Mortal. This image seemed to travel across aeons, then it manifested as Two Fish, One White and One Black, each with a Portion Of The Colour Of The Other on the Crown Of Their Heads bonded by an ethereal cord of Light yet pulling each other in opposing directions, then the image manifested as Zan and Ayumi wielding the Pyrostellis Luminares and finally as the images portrayed on the Alpha and Omega Gates, Of The Beautiful Dream and the Seven Souls Of Virtue confronting the Weaver Of Calamity and his Six Serpent Headed, Vitality Draining Tails.
"I see…the evolution of Symbols across Time and Cultures granting unique cultures unique interpretations of what is in essence of the same nature" Arlene realized.
"The Indigo Spectrum Of Light seems to connote Mystery and Purpose" Mitsuki noted.
They now stood before the Final Portal, the Violet Portal. As the beam of light from the Sun struck this Portal, images manifested within this Portal. Images of the abuse of Nature by Humankind and disrespect for the Natural Order Of Life and Ecological Boundaries as well as Territorial Boundaries. The consequences were almost immediate as Wars erupted and Natural Disasters of all kinds ravaged the Earth. In this dark and dismal scene, the image of the Weaver Of Calamity emerged.
"The Fall Of Mankind and the Violence that issued forth from Humanity's Fall from Grace seems to be the significance of the Violet Spectrum Of Light" Arlene noted.
Once all Seven Portals had been activated, their Light flowed back into the Sun as its light was altered from a brilliant White to a multifaceted Rainbow Light. This glow cycled from Red to Violet in tune with the rhythm of the energy making contact with the Portals. At that point, the Pool Of Light began to gather energy and Mitsuki looped this process as she had previously done with the other elements.
"We can finally unlock the Gate Of Time" Mitsuki sighed.
