Ceridwen (PT:1)

After the guide explained their visit to the palace guards, one of the guards took a step forward and motioned for Daedalus, Danforth and Rudra to follow, before stepping through the entrance.

Daedalus of course had taken on his serious persona and followed the guard knowing that nothing would happen, or at least not yet.

A short while later Daedalus and the others had arrived in front of a throne in a beautiful throne room. The throne room itself was nothing but a beautiful garden home to the essence of nature, and in the center of the room was a ethereal woman.

Noticing the arrival of a few guests the woman stood from her gardening and said "Hello, my name is Ceridwen, Empress of the Elven Empire. Who may you be?"

Daedalus felt he was nearly mesmerised by Ceridwen's beauty but quickly calmed himself before responding "I am the Emperor of the Grand Amatas Empire, Daedalus. You would likely not know of my empire as it is from another planet."

Hearing what Daedalus had to say Ceridwen smiled again in a natural way and said "Well that would explain why I smelled my brother coming from you, you must be from Yidrealiv."

Daedalus eyes widened at this and spoke in astonishment "So that's what my planet is called, and your the sister of my father Danel, so my aunt?"

Ceridwen chuckled at this and said "It seems to be true. Also what do you mean by 'my planet'?"

Daedalus smiled at this letting his serious persona go, before saying "Well I took control of the planet as the new ruler so that my family would be safe while I was here."

Ceridwen's lips twitched almost imperceptibly before sighing and saying "I guess the elves won that battle then. So who is your mother?"

Ceridwen had been speaking quietly so Daedalus didn't hear the first part of her sentence however he did hear the second half. Smiling for a second Daedalus said "My mother is a dwarf named Selda. When did you leave Yidrealiv? I didn't realise until I learned you where my aunt but it seems grandfather misses you."

Ceridwen smiled sadly and said "Why don't you come with me okay, oh and your friends can stay here, this is private family talk."

Daedalus nodded and turned to the others just in time to see them nodding and walking over to sit under a tree.

It didn't take them long to find a private part of the garden. So Ceridwen began to speak "I left Yidrealiv about four hundred thousand years ago. It was so that I could attempt to become stronger, so I came to this legacy planet where I have been working towards getting the legacy treasure since."

Daedalus couldn't help but gasp as he realised just how old his father was. But Ceridwen continued "Sadly I have never gotten the legacy treasure, but I did have a few husbands and children. Sadly with time they pass on, our elven bloodline is one of the highest level, so it is rarely passed on. But when it does a great talent is born and they can live for millions of years even without cultivation as long as they live on an energy rich planet."
