DREAMWEAVER SUCCESSOR OF THE NIGHTMARE KING EP 287; CONSTELLATIONS; WHEN STARS WEAVE TOGETHER TO REFLECT LIVES ON EARTH! GEMINI; THE FOUR SACRED ANIMALS AND THEIR DESTINED ALLIES
A New Day arrived in the Desert and Concordia resumed her lessons with Aera's Archers.
"Today we'll be branching into a slightly more advanced lesson pertaining to the Gemini Constellation. Axial Coordination is Part Gemini and is forged around the Four Sacred Animals namely the Southern Vermillion Phoenix, the Northern Black Tortoise, the Western White Tiger and the Eastern Azure Dragon with the Vermillion Phoenix representing Revival or Resurrection, the White Tiger representing Knowledge, the Azure Dragon representing Omniscience and the Black Tortoise representing an Omnidirectional Defense built upon Comradery and Fellowship" Concordia introduced the lesson.
The Archers listened keenly.
Each of these directions may have an affinity with one another or a Destined Affinity since most may not presently get along with the Cardinal Point they are destined to forge a bond with. This concept is referred to as 'Cardinality's Affinities'" Concordia explained.
The Archers were intrigued by this topic.
"For instance, the Southern Vermillion Phoenix may be the destined ally of the Western White Tiger just as the Eastern Azure Dragon may be the Destined Ally Of The Northern Black Tortoise. Ironically however, whenever God decides to punish one of these Cardinal Points, he almost always does this through their Destined Allies such as punishing the Southern Vermillion Phoenix through the Western White Tiger and the Eastern Azure Dragon through the Northern Black Tortoise" Concordia explained.
"Why would he do that?" Mimi asked.
Most Southern Martial Arts were originally invented to dethrone Tyrannical Governments which tend to desire to suppress the free circulation of knowledge for the Ordinary People and this runs contrary to the Nature Of The White Tiger which prioritizes knowledge. Northern Martial Arts on the other hand were originally invented to exorcise Demonic Entities and Dragons which are Ancient Serpents tended to be associated with 'Demons' or 'The Demonic' though this is a Stereotypical Assumption Of The Nature Of A Dragon" Concordia explained.
"That's pretty amazing. We didn't even know that the Gemini Constellation is assigned Four Sacred Animals that determine Cardinality" Mimi said.
"Gemini is quite similar to Libra but expresses the concept of Polar Opposites more deeply and clearly via its expression of the Twin Constellations" Concordia explained. "Next, I will be teaching you about another facet of Gemini namely Interactions. To begin, let me simplify the lesson by saying every interaction has a Degree Of Satisfaction versus Irritability Index meaning every interaction has the ability to induce either joy or pain or to put it more clearly satisfaction vs dissatisfaction to the ones engaged in communication. As one communicates with another, they are proverbially pushing buttons and pulling on strings that literally theme their conversations towards their interests. Through the establishment of Courtesy as the base, one can begin to build the conversation upon a theme of Common Interests and depending on the interests being expressed, the Satisfaction versus Irritability Index rises proportionally. Greater Satisfaction brings greater joy and tends to establish closer relationships via the Principle Of Association. On the other hand, interactions that raise irritability may trigger the habit of avoidance on the part of the one being irritated towards the person or object that irritates them" Concordia explained.
The Archers listened closely.
"However, as a Dream Knight there lies a Hidden Danger here that I will now explain. I call it 'Navigating the Web Of The Spider'. As I explained earlier, every interaction has a satisfaction vs irritability index but you must be very mindful of the emotions you trigger in your comrades because some of the Strings they may pull in may be tied to Wraiths belonging to the Weaver Of Calamity's Army and as I may or may not have explained earlier, a Wraith is a kind of malevolent spirit in the Weaver Of Calamity's Army that preys on Negative Energy, feeds off of it and amplifies it. If you are careless with your interactions, you may eventually pull on a String that invites the Weaver Of Calamity himself in if your interactions generate enough negativity. You can balance out the Negativity with what is known as a Comic Relief that releases the Pent Up Tension built during interactions. This will buy you some precious time to redirect the conversation before the 'Grapevine Of Wrath Metre' is Full Again if you understand what I mean" Concordia said.
The Archers nodded.
"Well then, we've learnt enough for today. Go get some rest or do some independent training. Next time we meet, we'll be learning more about the Aries and Virgo Constellations" Concordia said.
With this the Archers disbanded for a while to train independently.
