This week in the rich and amazing world of Cross the Ages, two new Rare Special Cards come to enhance the collection. These cards which expose us to the story of SeeLung the Androgynous Popstar of the Mantris faction, are not a simple tool for the game.
But they project us into the life of this enigmatic artist.
Sometimes on stage for a performance, sometimes in deep meditation or nocturnal contemplation of the sky and the stars. SeeLung is undeniably a dreamer.
However, the paradox between these two maps is gaping. On the first, SeeLung enjoys a moment of reflection, of calm in the night, lying on the grass in the company of Ravix. While on the other he radiates a vibrant energy when he is on stage.
Each card invites its holder to question himself about the history of SeeLung, about the influences of his art, his personality, this duality which haunts him and about the balance of his public and private life.
Standard card
"SeeLung's Talent-Regenerating Quietness"
The context of the Standard card, invites us to relax and be at peace with SeeLung. In its secret garden, hidden from almost all eyes, where creation comes to life in the mind of our artist, in peace.
Lying in the greenery, under the protective veil of the night, SeeLung is in a state of deep rest, of reverie. His futuristic black outfit, simple and elegant, recalls his Mantri origin and contrasts with the brilliance and beauty of his environment.
This contrasts with the image of the performer with effeminate features perfectly at ease on stage, and that of the pensive young man, with open eyes and a wandering soul, who remains there, lying in the grass. This card emphasizes the silence necessary for the germination of ideas.
A reminder that recharging one's batteries is just as important for any self-respecting artist who aspires to success as the tranquility of the surrounding nature.
Alternative Map
"The Stage Power"
In the Alternative map At the center of the stage, the charismatic SeeLung performs and vibrates with his art. He willingly shares his passion and energy with his audience. He is probably one of those musical geniuses?! He seems to captivate his audience with his captivating voice, this is visible in the way he holds his microphone.
Or, with his uniform and mask, in the middle of this circular track, with the constellations adorning the ceiling and the gigantic jellyfish gravitating around him, is he part of the world of circus performers?!
In any case he wears clothes that suggest it, right??
Every constellation twinkling behind him, every dancing jellyfish seem galvanized by his presence.
As if the celestial vault itself responded to the call of his voice.
So what is the story behind SeeLung's crown of horns?
The emotion he exudes, his shining eyes, and his open posture convey a devouring passion for his art. This card is a capture of a moment where his music, his soul and the stars are in perfect harmony. It reveals the inner strength and inspiration that drives SeeLung when he is active on stage.
What is he thinking about? SeeLung ? What haunts him to the point of isolating him? What dreams or ambitions could he harbor outside the spotlight?
These two cards Rare Specials offer Cross the Ages players more than just a strategic opportunity. They are an ode to the celebration of art and life.
They highlight the plurality of the artist, his duality, his fluid passage from spectacle to serenity. SeeLung is a source of inspiration. The true essence of creativity lies in the balance between ardent passion and regenerating calm.
What impact does SeeLung's life as an artist have on the other members of his faction and on the balance of all others in the Cross the Ages universe? And it is more appropriate to ask, what impact Mantris faction exerts over SeeLung's life?
