Deep within the palace, in a garden of flowers Daedalus could be seen sleeping in the crook of tree. He had been taken here after being brought to Ceridwen by the Twelve Trials. A short ways away from the sleeping Daedalus was Ceridwen who was constantly pacing back and forth while mumbling to herself.

The Twelve Trials had long left after speaking with Ceridwen so it was just the two of them in this garden. This continued for several hours, however eventually, by being in such a mana dense room, Daedalus woke up, although he felt quite fatigued.

Slowly Daedalus got up while groaning at the effort. Ceridwen hearing this ran over and said "How are you?"

Daedalus looked confused and said "Well I feel tired, but that's what happens when you half your mana is absorbed in an instant."

Ceridwen sighed in relief and continued "Okay, now tell me what do you think having the Myriad Lotus means?"

Daedalus raised an eyebrow and said "It means you have an equal level of affinity for all of the elements."

Ceridwen's eye twitched for a moment before she sighed and said "Why didn't your father tell you about this."

Daedalus lifted his eyebrow and said "Tell me about what and I forgot about telling my parents what my affinities where."

Ceridwen sighed with exasperation and said "You have probably read that it is a naturally occurring phenomena when all of the elements are perfectly balanced. But that's not all of it, because that is only in terms of nature. In humans it only occurs when you are chosen by the heavens or similarly powerful beings and how much they favour you."

Daedalus' eyes opened wildly for a long time and he didn't reply for a while, eventually however he closed his eyes and said "I know who chose me."

Ceridwen stood suddenly clearly having not expected his reply, but Daedalus continued "He is the God Hephaestus."

Ceridwen sat down and said "Well you got quite lucky then. Hephaestus is known to be straightforward and completely against controlling others. He is known as the God of Craftsman's and simply wants to spread his arts. If it had been any other gods they may have taken advantage of you to destroy worlds or any other number of things."

Daedalus couldn't help but be glad that Hephaestus was such a person. Ceridwen then spoke again "Well I guess you are probably Hephaestus' champion based off of your talent, in fact he may have used all of his ability to give you such a talent."

Daedalus quickly spoke up and said "There is one other person he gave talent to atleast, his name is Richard."

Ceridwen looked surprised and said "How did you meet him?"

After explaining Daedalus then furrowed his eyebrows and said "Also my wife has the same talent as me. And our twins are far more talented than either of us."

Ceridwen looked at him and said "Your already married? And she has the same level of talent? And you have twins who are even more talented than you both!?"

Daedalus chuckled and nodded and she continued "Well, you are stupidly lucky, only someone chosen by the heavens could have children with a God's chosen, and the heavens don't take advantage of people. Your children are probably twice as talented as you which means they have beyond god level talent."
