The Craftsman 33 Runes

Looking around for a minute and Daedalus finally saw the teacher, they were hiding in the back inscribing some symbols into a piece of armour.

Daedalus was curious but did not distract the teachers but instead watched intent on finding out what the teacher was doing. After watching for a few minutes Daedalus finally realised that not only was the teacher inscribing symbols on to the armour he was also infusing mana in to the symbols.

After waiting for a few hours the teacher finally finished and noticed Daedalus sitting there staring curiously at him. The teacher then said "Oh h.e.l.lo you must be my student as you could see I was enchanting that armour. Oh and my name is Dan."

Daedalus immediately asked "What is enchanting?"

"It is the process of inscribing runes in a pattern with a specific intent and using your mana to give it power."

"What are runes?"

"Runes are a language, decidedly the language of either G.o.ds or magical beasts like dragons, they are used for formations and enchanting. And by formations I mean you inscribe the runes into the air itself where they gather the world's mana and that is used to give the formation power."

"When can I start learning from you?"

"Now!"

After their long conversation Daedalus and his teacher decided to take a small break while the teacher went to find the books that Daedalus would need to read. While the teacher was gone trying to find the books Daedalus had decided to take a look at the helmet that was enchanted.

Picking it up carefully Daedalus began to look at all the detailed carving, he was trying to find the meaning in each line of runes. Daedalus continued doing this for several minutes but could not figure out what they meant, so moving his mana to his eyes Daedalus became enabled to see the mana that was moving around along the runes. Daedalus continued to admire the flow of the mana for minutes before finally gaining a hint of the runes intent. The runes were given the intent of protection, but not just any protection, it was all things that it was made to protect from. Daedalus had realised that his teacher was truly a master of his craft.

Daedalus was so engrossed with admiring the runes that he did not notice as his teacher walked back in, however his teacher seeing him with such admiration in his eyes was slightly shocked thinking 'Did he really figure it out that quickly, he must be blessed by Hephaestus himself!'

When Daedalus finally noticed his teacher he was confused as his teacher was looking at him in awe. Daedalus quickly got up and said "Sorry teacher for getting distracted and not greeting you when you got back."

Dan quickly replied "No worries, no worries if anything I am happy as, if I am right based off of your facial expression just a moment ago your comprehension towards crafts are truly G.o.dly. I know this may be to much of me, but are you by any chance blessed by Hephaestus himself?"

Daedalus replied "Not to my knowledge, why?" while thinking 'Did he somehow figure out?'
