Oktche is one of my friend who I used to visit often since I was young. He lives in the west side of the Tangun and runs a small repair shop for hunters in the land. I visit him on a regular basis, to get my Axe repaired as it worn out from my woodcutting. But yesterday, when I visited him, he looked very anxious and stressed. I asked him: "Dear my old friend, you seem concerned and worried. What is going on? Is everything OK? Oktche said, "Well?my friend, Statistics, I tried not to spread my worries on you, but now that you are asking, I am very concerned about recent decline in my incomes" I said, "What do you mean? What happened?" Oktche said, "Well.. you know? unfortunately I have been losing a lot of visitors since as people grow up and get stronger, they tend to visit other smiths who live closer to their land such as Kugnae or Buya. Also, as people grow up, they decide to join a Clan, and you know, these days all Clans have their own smith who can fix their members' gears fast. As a result? my shop is suffering from dramatic decrement in the number of visitors for repair, and it directly cause significant decrease in my income! So now?. I don't know what I should do! Should I close my own shop and get a new place in one of the cities? But how?? How can I leave this shop? I have been living in this town for 20 years!" I said, "I see?.. hold a second!" I pulled out my coins and tossed six times?. 3 Tails, 3 Tails, 1 Tails 2 Heads, 2 Tails 1 Heads, 1 Tails 2 Heads, and 2 Tails 1 Heads! My Hexagram was as below: ------ -- -- ------ -- -- x- -- x- -- My first reading is Earth (lower) + Fire (upper) = 35 Chin. This indicates "Moving Forward" - advance, clarity, sincerity, clear-minded. I could read that a lot of new players are coming to this land. They will start training in Tangun, and they will visit Oktche's place to get their gears and swords repaired, and make Oktche rich again. This was a strong, clear signal of hope. -- -- 0----- 0----- ------ -- -- ------ My second reading is Fire (lower) + Pond (upper) = 49 Ko. Shedding of old Skin - change, progression, preparation, reform. Fire in the Pond, times of great changes. Two very different aims, Revolution. I advised Oktche that he should wait until new players come, and by that time, his shop will become full of visitors. Soon, his income will surge again and he will find peace in this small place, where he has been dedicating this life. | |
