Chapter 196: Gifts (PT:1)

It was a busy day for Daedalus to say the least, with only these two days left until the winter holiday. Deep inside his workshop Daedalus could be seen slowly carving away at a rather small lump of ebony. Though it may be small it was by no means cheap, luckily however there was an ebony tree farm in his empire.

Slowly over the course of several hours Daedalus carved away at the ebony, etching runes and adding all sorts of protective charms. It was a gift for Rose, not Andromeda as she already had something similar, Rose however didn't have a high quality one like this. And so he continued to slowly carve the wood and etch the runes.

After some time Daedalus was rather satisfied, however he was far from finished. With the wood carving completed Daedalus moved on to start working with some living metal. The reason behind this action was that Daedalus had carved grooves into the wood so that he could slot in some metal and make it look nice.

So that's was he did slowly hammering the metal into shape it began to form into strips of lean metallic ribs. It wasn't until almost three more hours past that he finally finished forging the metal as he wished. So with that completed Daedalus moved on to the final part of the project.

Slowly with calculated movements Daedalus slotted the pieces of metal into their places. With a quick twitch of his finger a light flame appeared on his finger tip and he began to weld the cage of metal in place around the ebony. Before long Daedalus finished welding the metal together and sighed happily before taking a small light red orb from his spatial ring.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This small light red orb was something he found during his journey in the past. Among others he found it in the massive treasure chamber of a long dead dragon. From what he could tell from its skin the dragon had been badly wounded in a fight and retreated back to its home to rest and recover. However it still died somehow which he couldn't figure out.

The small red orb was as Danforth put it a Heartfire essence crystal, and Daedalus had many of them. He had a few others as well and of different elements like earth, water and air as well as one space typed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carefully Daedalus placed the Small Heartfire essence crystal into the very center of the gift he was making. As he did the runes and enchantments themselves slowly began to light up in a dim red light. Daedalus smiled, almost cheering at this success, before slowly rapping a light black and red chain through a hole.

As he finished off the gift with a few small finishing touches Daedalus held it up and began to inspect it in the light of his forge. It was small pendant, however there was one very eye catching part to it, a beautiful had carved and forged rose. Each line that made up the rose was highlighted by small pieces of glowing red metal while the petals themselves where the ebony with what seemed to be dim glowing veins. All of this together resulted in a realistic and life like red rose pendant.
