Wandering along shadowed paths, we meet all sorts of creatures — terrifying or harmless, unsettling or oddly amusing — each capable of flipping our sense of self and the world upside down. And over these two days, we encounter something extraordinary, almost fairy-tale-like: a Dragon. Terrifying at first glance, but surprisingly willing to negotiate once you look closer.

This Dragon, as tradition demands, is sprawled atop a massive heap of treasure — and is even ready to share some of it. Not a greedy one, lucky for us. But of course, there’s a catch! The Dragon is an avid lover of riddles and puzzles, and if we manage to solve them all, the Magical Door to this glittering treasure vault will swing open.

⚙️ These two days flow as a single current of energy, full of strange and twisty storylines that require our focused attention. At times, we’ll be tasked with figuring out how to combine the incompatible; at others, we’ll need to glue, adjust, assemble, disassemble, sand down, or carefully fit pieces together. In short — maximum creativity, original thinking, and the willingness to put together this wonderfully weird puzzle.

Our survival skills from past life chapters will come in handy — the ones that have already proven themselves and onto which we can attach fresh ideas and an updated sense of who we are now. Add to that our hopes and plans for the future — and voilà! The solution appears, and the Dragon is impressed.

🔥 Just make sure you approach each stage of planning and constructing with care. Otherwise, you might end up with a slightly wobbly Frankenstein-creature that collapses at the first breath of our “examiner.” And trust me, the Dragon will test it — his breath is no gentle breeze, but a full-on firestorm.

So yes, earning these treasures will take effort. But they’re worth it — you’ll see!

May all doors open for you!
