Previously: The "Spirit of Fire" black light tapestry is part of the Alchemy Trilogy, which also includes "Spirit of Water" and "Architect." The tapestry is described through a story in which two fishermen set up camp in a dense forest and enjoy the peace and tranquility of their surroundings. During a conversation about telekinesis and Buddhist mantras, they imagine themselves as flowers and butterflies, discussing the freedom and beauty of being reincarnated as such.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the forest, rustling the branches and causing the flames of the fire to dance wildly. The three friends looked up to see a figure emerging from the darkness, walking towards them. As the figure drew closer, they realized it was a woman draped in a black tapestry. The tapestry seemed to shimmer in the firelight, and it was adorned with intricate designs of flames and embers.
The woman approached the fire and stood before the three friends. She looked at them with piercing eyes, and they felt as though she could see right through them.
"What brings you here?" she asked in a deep, commanding voice.
"We're just camping," Andriukh replied, feeling slightly uneasy.
The woman continued to stare at them for a few moments before finally speaking again. "I see," she said. "You seek the spirit of fire."
The three friends exchanged puzzled looks. "What do you mean?" Semyon asked.
"The spirit of fire," the woman repeated. "It is one of the three parts of the alchemy trilogy. The other two are the spirit of water and the architect. Together, they represent the balance of the universe."
The woman paused for a moment, her eyes still fixed on the three friends. "You have come seeking the spirit of fire," she said. "But be warned, for fire can be both a blessing and a curse. It can warm you and nourish you, but it can also consume you and destroy you."
The three friends listened intently, feeling as though they were in the presence of a powerful being.
"If you are truly seeking the spirit of fire," the woman continued, "you must first prove yourselves worthy. You must face the trials of the flames, and emerge unscathed. Only then will you be granted access to the spirit of fire."
With that, the woman turned and disappeared into the darkness, leaving the three friends feeling both exhilarated and apprehensive. They knew that they had embarked on a journey that would test their courage and strength, but they also knew that it was a journey they had to take. For the spirit of fire awaited them, and they were determined to find it.
