The astral plane!- part.2

Darkness ... an endless mass of shaded black which was presented first afterwards the perception of lightness as if it were floating in an indeterminable void, soon the sensations of his body were aroused he felt weak and tired, he realized then that the view was obscured and with great effort he forced himself to open his eyes with the weakened vision he observed the world around him and little by little the image began to become clear and then with a start he realized where he was.

'Blue' - his brain processes, blue as far as he could see, followed by small bubbles that rose around him, Luan then looks upwards seeing rays of light rippling in the light waves, which were moving further and further away, from his impact on what now he knew how to be water, realizing that he was sinking he felt his legs kick instinctively, since it had spent years in his previous life in the water, a completely natural swimmer knew that it only took a few kicks to return to the surface.

If she had no difficulty in moving, her limbs weighed and any attempt at movement was made with difficulty, 'it was like swimming in molasses' I thought while sinking some more, look up again with a sense of urgency to see how far it is adrift, the surface still shines nearby, the light refracting as if someone spilled diamonds behind it, theorizing it is only ten feet below the surface.

Looking down she looks at the silence around her. It is a remarkably clear body of water, considering its size. The ravine falls impossibly deep below him, a mass of shaded black, 'How long can I hold my breath?' Thinks stunned and frightened, she can feel a slight burning on the edge of her ribs, not painful, not yet, but enough to remind him of the problem he is in and if you do nothing you can drown.

It is as if it were evoked, the air turns against him, pushing against his lips and chest, trying to break free, the breath inside him is obsolete, he could already feel his fingertips getting numb, the strength suddenly returns as if he heard his silent weeping, the difficulty he once had was gone.

With fluid and quick movements Luan launches to the surface like a missile, allowing the sensation of nostalgia for the now delicate touch of water on his skin before breaking the surface, soon he emerges in a spray of foams and slides his head above the waves before opening the mouth to receive the oxygen so desired, with more than half of the body out of the water, soon the laws of physics are known and she meets the water up to her neck again because if it floats in it so that it doesn't there was a risk of sinking.

With his eyes closed, he forces himself to take deep breaths to calm himself down, thinks and asks himself how he managed to get in that mess, then the memories of his actions prior to this event come to mind, stunned opens his eyes and then feels without breathless, his eyes grow in saucer size and admiringly observes the beautiful horizon in front of him.

The clear night sky, without a single cloud being revealed, up there illuminating the darkness there was a great and beautiful star with his company, like a lady with her court that covered the veil in which the world was obscured, its radiance and beauty bathing the night with its silver light illuminating its admirers with affection and kindness.

Around it a beautiful spectacle was presented, thousands of stars of various colors and sizes were seen dancing with each other taking on known and unknown formations, and to end such an admirable sight, a band of misty bright colors, thus closing the view of a work that many artists would die to do.

-This is my astral plane? 'he asks himself when he had finished admiring the horizon, after having recovered his senses our little twin analyzes his surroundings, seeing an island in the distance, gathered his strength and began to swim, that when approaching this he perceives a familiar feeling that disappeared so quick as it had come, arriving at the island's edge, he attentively examines the landscape around him and soon realizes that it had the mixed appearance of the places that most impacted his life, more precisely the beaches of Varadero in the lands of the clan mcclan and the beach of Avalon, in which she was introduced to the work of both parents, who was small.

The small shore in question was situated between a gorge, just after the beach there was a family forest, in the east and west of its location, facing south, two cliffs rose, if this island was placed in its appearance it would be approximately the shape of a crescent moon, but nothing said it stood out more than the monument that was on its left, near the cliff side, strategically placed for better attack and defense against the invaders, there was an oriental style palace.

It possessed a spectacular splendor, as something that would come out of a fantasy story or a cult novel, when approaching the place Luan could describe more precisely his appearance, in his case there was a long stone pier that led to the sea, it was lit up by lamps and lamps of varying sizes with varying colors between dark blue, light and purple, the lamps were rounded with the top in the shape of a cone these were supported on stone posts carved in the Chinese pattern, while the lamps floated close to the edges of the pie without moving.

Next to this a long staircase carved in the rock with the same lighting that led to the palace, at the top of it was a gigantic stone Torii, just after it stood large walls that protected the beautiful architecture, glimpsed observing the entrance when something catches your eye, there at the big blue-green wooden gate with silver, gold and bronze paintings and decorations there was at the center a great emblem that in the center of it.

"And this and what do I believe it to be?"

A large blue-green octagon with carved edges like a picture frame in the center of this avia 3 images overlapping each other, the first was formed by three aspirations made of dotted lines turned from right to left, whose resemblance reminds of the symbol Celtic triskle, all connected to a magatama that was superimposed on the blade of a traditional Japanese sword.

With her breath caught in her throat and a haunted look, our little heroine was soaking up the image she'd never believed in again, with a lump in her throat and unshed tears. because he believed that such an image could become an illusion, releasing a deep sigh, he encouraged himself and stretched a little to touch the object and the base of the emblem, feeling its smooth texture and, somehow, heated his breath trembles and his eyes small tears soon spread down his face because in front of him was the emblem of his family.

Tracing the lines with our little heroine at her fingertips, she remembers when she learned about the tales of these images and their meanings within the family by her jiji and when she was little.

= Flasback =

In a room at dusk one day there were two figures, it was an elder with a little girl with brownish-green eyes, both were sitting in Seiza's position, although both were in a Zabuton the little one still felt uncomfortable but, with a trace if stubbornness coming from his mother, he refuses to complain because he knew that 'only babies complain'.

The amused elder watched his granddaughter struggle, knowing his mother's stubbornness, decides with perspicacity and compassion to help her, undoing the previous position by sitting cross-legged, ignoring the slight sighing sound of relief that his granddaughter had when the copy is there, after this feat he turns his face to the table with the objects he had collected in front of him and speaks to the child beside him.

"Di-cha" -flame

"Hai, ojī-chan?" Says the girl.

"Do you know why the family has this emblem?" - Asks the oldest with a slight accent.

"Iya" - the little girl replies while shaking her head.

"Each of these images represents the principles that our family follows, the octagon represents Yata no Kagami whose mirror has the divine power to reveal the truth and is the representative of the recognition and wisdom in our family.

In the legends this mirror was made by the deity Ishikoridome, after a fight between the sun goddess, Amaterasu and the god of the sea and the storms, Susanoo, the goddess closed herself in a cave and took all the light in the world with her, sorry Susanoo he organized a party to attract his sister in order to resolve things and return the light to the world.

The sword represents Kusanagi no Tsurugi- known for representing bravery and the desire to protect what you love most, according to legend, the sacred sword grew on the tail of a snake with eight heads while it was devouring the daughters of a lord.

With only one daughter alive, the children's father asked the god of the sea and the storms for help and promised that if he helped him, he would marry the young woman, Susanoo responded to the desperate father's request, getting the snake drunk and cutting off its tail, where found the sword, the object stayed with Susanoo for some time, but ended up being used also for reconciliation with his sister Amaterasu.

The Yasakani jewel in Magatama-represents faith, altruism and kindness, in ancient tales it was part of a necklace made by Tamanooya-no-Mikoto that was worn by the goddess of joy, Ame-no-Uzume, goddess had played an important role in story of Amaterasu and Susanoo, which made the sun goddess light up the world again. Uzume performed an extravagant dance, using the beads, to move and attract the attention of the sun goddess during the party. "Explains the elder pointing to the items in question.

Fascinated, the little one listens attentively to the elder's explanation and realizes that he has left one of the images out of the picture and therefore asks the older man.

"And these aspirations Jiji what do they represent?" Asks the child.

"The currents represent the name of our family or more precisely the opposite of our name to counter current"

"Nani? why? wouldn't it be better if the symbol represented our name? "-question

"'Laughs' yes, it would be better if the symbol represented our name, but it would not be as significant as this one, notice how many aspirations does this image have as and in what they are connected?" Informs the elderly man, drawing with his fingers the three aspirations to first the left whose base of the 'head' of the magatama, this was turned upwards with the face pointed to the left, passing through the laminated edge before the spiral begins with the opening of this downwards, the second spiral started at the base of the jewel and its curve was from left to right where the spiral ended up uniting with the line of the blade handle and the third and last spiral whose beginning was connected with the magatama 'body' and the opening of the spiral turned upwards.

After the demonstration continues to explain "you see my magomusume, these three spirals represent the balance between body, mind and soul and just like the three objects indicated above they also represent our connection with the ocean, watch how the curves originate from same place, they show what we prioritize most in our family, what we believe and practice the most, can you tell me which one? "he asks.

"It comes from jewelry, does it mean ... faith, altrism and benevolence?" Asks the child after remembering what the eldest had said earlier.

"Faith, altruism and kindness, but small as everything in life, we must always have faith in ourselves and in what we believe, be altruistic always seeking humility and expect nothing in exchange for our good and benign actions with a good heart." Says he before returning to explain the figure "also see the direction that these turns take, all of them turn in an anti-clockwise direction, from left to right, this indicates that we are masters of our own will and that we do nothing nor anyone who will come to act against our purpose, whether these ideals are against or in favor of the currents of life, nature or destiny, we who write our own way ".

The elderly continues "the second line as well as the others has its origin in jewelry but its end as is observed and connected in the hilt of the sword this represents the second major principle of our family. with a force that some would say to be supernatural, even the current needs to be oriented, without it it could lose its strength and its course would soon dissipate and that is why it meets with the jewel and the sword inside the mirror that represents the third principle, wisdom and self-knowledge ".

- "ho" thinks and speaks the little girl looking at the symbol admirably.

With a smile on his face, the old man looks at his granddaughter and lifting his fingers nudges his forehead, attracting his attention and says "Well, I think we had a lot of teachings about the family today, how about we stop by the kitchen to see if his oba-san do I finish the move? "after the speech he gets up and stretches with a popping sound coming from his joints.

"Hai! "- says the child getting up in an excited start.

= Flashback off =

After the passing of this memory, she feels dizzy and soon the tears flow like small rivers down her face, leaning her forehead against the door, she takes deep breaths trying to calm down and thinks - how this memory has become so intense- as she had thought herself the memory that had passed earlier became extremely strong - it seemed that I was reliving it at that moment - he ponders.

It took a while until he felt calmer, drying his tears with his hands. importance inside the palace, so he gathered his courage, hardened his nerves and thought - now is not the time to be melancholy, time is short, all or nothing - and with a deep breath he put his hands on the doors and with little effort pushed the doors.

The doors slid open silently, and when it had been opened it revealed an intense white light from behind, momentarily blinding it, when it can see again it raises its hands in surprise to its mouth and lets out a surprised sigh.
