Chapter Thirty One: The Corruption of the Magic Sleighs

Nobody saw it coming. And a major disaster is about to happen. He has become the unwilling host of a spy camera from space and from folklore. Everything is going to be ugly, and several lives may be in grave danger.

It was about the attack that happened at Cloudest Street, although everyone thought that it was just a simple fire mishap. The damage was effectively mitigated while the threat was subsequently subdued, but the fire that they cannot see continues to burn, although the visible fire that consumed matter that affected some of the magic sleighs was extinguished with finality.

The fire is an element that cannot be underestimated, and this is mostly true and recognized by scientists and eminent scholars to be self-evident, albeit literary merit might have a different perspective with the same account of reality when, mostly, how to live is narrated in a lyrical prose than to indirectly dismiss the mystery of natural knowledge in explaining the very nature of existence. The poetry of the scientific method lies in the curiosity of someone investigating the environment and his surrounding predicament, and the never-ending pursuit of defining how things work.

Both science and literature, in this instance, are seeking for purpose.

The conflict in appreciating experience between the two methods of inquiry is quite unfounded, baseless, and a reckless accusation. The interpretation of things present, like this certain fire, is a reflection of the same stimulus that awaken the soul, the need to search for answers, and the development of a mechanism in coping with things. So that by using the same experience, a definite premise may be defined.

How to define existence may be entirely dependent on observation from laboratory experimentation, but only reason based on wisdom is necessary to be able to find the eternal purpose of nature and live a life of deeper meaning. The search for this inner purpose is an ongoing conflict with man's never-ending battle with his own self; as much as science is concerned, and so is literature motivating peace.

Many poets have identified fire as a major driving force for the desire to defy his humanly limitations, to embrace his flaws like the burning resolve to emit warmth and share his shining light, to advocate for the desire to change the world as a reflection of how much he wanted to change himself, and to report his experiences for the utility of posterity.

The igniting of a fire is never an accident, although it may consume, by the mishap created through the exposition of scientific writing, all visible things into ashes, but never the things unseen. Fire exists both literally and purposely, and while the former consumes, the latter intensifies. The fire within is both visibly encouraging and a means for manifesting courageous virtues. As a human being defining how he experience ultimate reality, fire in a non-literal sense can never take the form of a universal definition.

This same fire (in its substantial form) that contains a spying mechanism has latched itself to a Dwarf who is principally maintaining the well-functioning of the magic sleighs. The trouble that has began since the incident at the Psychometrician Store continues up to the present time, haunting The Village like a pestering ghost that would never go away. Tragedy is bound to happen, and the North Pole will be the unwilling actor dragged into the nastiness of this thickening plot.

There will be blood.
