The right path and choice



Zane looks at the setting sun and then makes his way out the bar saying bye to Tayla and makes plans to meet up with her in two days. He walks down the street and finds an inn and rents a room for a few weeks. The next day he walks to the large building and enters the front, it looks like a large forge on the inside with a front desk area and has many folks doing different crafts. Zane enters the area and then breaths in with a large breath and then shouts,


( I HEARD THAT THEIR WAS A MASTER CRAFTSMAN HEAR BUT ALL I SEE IS A BUNCH OF HALF HEARTS HERE, NOW CAN ANYONE HERE BEST ME!!) 


Hearing the shout everyone in the building turns their head to him and glare at him and start to shout at him nonstop I suiting him for his challenge. Then as the roar seem to begin to start to turn to violence, then a large voice over takes everyone and the room goes quiet. A row opens up and then a smaller figure walks through the row with faded pink hair in a large braid and gloves. She looks bit older and has a worn apron n that looks heavy, She stands infant of zane and starts to inspect his. 


She looks at the young man who caused the seen and challenge and then starts to talk,


Kayana ( So you are the youngster who has cause this mess huh.)


Zane ( Yup and all I see is a bunch of has beens in front of me, and now I see some old lady who has some what of ability.)


Kayana ( Oh so we have a lad with some big nuts on him and now needs to be put down for a nap in the cradle by this old lady.)


Zane (  I don't think a nap is needed for me but you old timer I think you may need to rest, so let this young bull show you what's up.)  


Kayana ( heh heh you are the first one in away to show such confidence to me especially knowing who I am and such, okay Youngbull I accept your challenge and if you can make a better item of your choosing then I will admit to what you said earlier.)


Zane( Then lets see who can create the best Sculpture out of wood tomorrow at sunrise, is that fine with you granny.)


Kayana ( Sounds good to me boy, sunrise tomorrow better be their or I will come hunt you down myself.)


Zane nods and then turns around and walks out the building and then returns to his in, he then goes to sleep and ascends to his space. Once their Zeke is met by Infintino and he opens his interface and starts to look up skills and purchases the one he wanted with a smile and inserts it into Zane. He then pauses the world and summons Viota,


Zeke ( What is your opinion on Kayana and her contribute to life improvement?)


Viota ( Oh Great father I believe her advances to the Cracter race is major making their first town and bringing them together under her leadership and organizing them to the point of even making currency in under 100 years is amazing. She is a bit of a hard ass and quite pompous at times to those how try to undermine her, but she is a great leader to them and amazing crafter.)


Zeke ( Do you believe that she should be rewarded once she is at the ends of her life?)


Viota ( Yes great father she is all ready worshipped by many and has a keen mind and soul. She does deserve reward once she passes.)


Zeke ( I see then she shall when her time is due, but I do not want some one to be reward so easily with out at least having some sort of failures or losses under their belts. So I will make her worth of that reward and you will inform bring her to this realm before she reaches the Soul Domain.)


Viota ( As you command great father)


Zeke then returns to Zanes Body and walks out the in and asks directions fr the church and is lead to a large building built into the side of the valley with amazing details and beautiful architecture. Once inside he walks forward and sees 5 large figures and one little one that is being held in their arms, the one in the middle is the largest and the two on the side up to it shoulders and the last two only up to the others chests. They all were detailed greatly but his looks a lot manlier then his real face and makes a disgruntle face, but decides to ignore it.


He then reaches the closest he can be to them and sees young man and asks him foe details about the figures and who made them? He describes how master Kayana made each by hand after receiving a oracle from Lady Eternina herself about how it will bring great protection for them. Zane then remembers the progress bar on his interface and it said that they created the Temple of the Great here, He then recalls receiving more PP after that. Putting that aside he prays they way he is instructed to by the young man and the here's Eternina speak to him real quick about her asking to have this made right and apologizes for not asking him before hand.He says its fine and says they are doing a good job and then says bye and leaves the temple.


He then walks around and returns to his inn and they goes to sleep, when he wakes up before sunrise and walks to the town center where a large stage of stone is and standing on top is Kayana with two large logs behind her. Zane smiles and jumps on the stage to see a long table on the back with hundred of tools on the table. Kayana approaches him speaks,


Kayana ( well I see you are not as smart as I thought you were, but I like you vigor sport now show me you are not all talk boy. You can use any tool on the table and the like. She shows him to the table and he looks over it and sees what he gots to work with, while looking a certain something caught his eyes and he smiles and picks it up. he then turns around and says


Zane ( I choose this one and no other and refuse to use any other)


 As he looks at Kayana who is showing a small smile and accepts his words then turns around and then calls the start of the event, sits in front of his log and then takes the tool and carves the first streak out of the log. Once he does it again Kayana stares at him with a look of how, seeing the young man carve with the tool of his choice and not faking it.


Zane knows why she makes that look as he progresses into making the sculpture, the tool he choose is the the same chisel he made for her and knows that only those truly worth to wield it can but those who don't it won't even carve no mater how much force they use. He uses the chisel easily on the log and activates the skill he bought called Sculpting Master, which makes him unrivaled to any less than a god to sculpt against.


The sculpting progress as both sweat in the sun but remain unaffected by it and do as they can to make sure their creation. Soon hours go by and when sunset comes they both finish their works and step back. Then they look over at each others what, Kayan made a figure of the great god holding a child in his hands that has looks content. It was made beautifully and seems alive as it has no imperfections at all. Then Kayana looks at Zanes and her eyes go wide, made a large tree with marks that seem natural and organic, with branches and leaves  that seem alive. 


Kayana runs her hands over the tree and feels as if it was grown from the ground, She notices the roots look as they seem embedded. She could not look away from Zane's creation and checks every detail and wants to engrain these textures into her own. She then looks at him and says


Kayana ( Its my loss you are the better crafter.)


Hearing this the whole audience looks at her with stunned expressions, hearing that the woman who single handily built up this town. They did not process it right away and when it clicked their was out rage at Zane as the people slander him believing it to be a trick, then Kayana yells at the crowd and glares at them,


Kayana ( Shut up you fools, do you not see the beautiful piece in front of you. Then you do not deserve to become craftmens, He is worthy of this win and here is the proof you need.)


She takes the chisel out of his hand and puts it up and the complete silence takes hold of the audience. She then turns and looks at Zane and speaks,


Kayana ( He is the only other person to be able to not only wield and can use the Divine Chisel blessed to me by the gods. Now do you understand fools that he is just as worthy maybe even more. )


She turns to him and he nods looking at her gaze and they start to walk back, after she order some of her men to carry back the sculptures. Back at the main building and in her private office Zane is sitting across from her at a table and she holds the chisel in her hand and looking at him and asks,


Zayana ( Are you also blessed by the gods? Did they send you here to challenge me and why? Have I not served them good enough?) 


She looks at Zane with a look of concern thinking that she has failed in some way, he exhales and the speaks, 


Zane ( I have not been blessed by the gods, and I have come here to keep you in check. You have grown Stale and your thoughts arrogant.)


Kayana ( Then why have I not been told?)


Zane ( Well now you have been shown that you are not the only one who can create beauty, and that you must keep your mind open and thoughts keen.)


Kayana ( I have grow stagnate in my ways? I have disappointed the Gods how can I redeem myself.)


Zane ( You have not failed you have just grown too arrogant, and need to sometimes and remember to sit down and be humble.)


Kayana ( Sit down and be humble, these are the words they want you to pass me.)


Zane ( Yes and follow this mindset and you will be rewarded for staying true to their following.)


Kayana looks at him with eyes as dedicated as ever and understands his words, he then gets up and leaves Kayana to her self. Then he leaves the building and returns to the inn and returns to his space.


When back at his space he is greeted by Infintino  and sits on his throne, he looks at both sides and then raises both of his hands and two new thrones built on both sides of his on a smaller detail. He looks at Infintino and then shows his hand to him and he looks and understands Zekes intent. He sits on the left throne to Zeke and has a smile on his face showing he is proud to sit next him.


He then plays the world forward and watch how Zane who was now his own self now with a preset of details and makes waves along side Kayana who works together with each other as they made more and more making more crafts. Then he stops the world to regular time that is when Kayana's deathbed, Zeke watches the scene fold out as Kayana's children and so forth gather around her and are crying. She asks them to have a private moment with Zane, doing as told they do and she is now alone with him. Zeke Decends into Zanes body and looks at her he then says,


Zane ( Kayana it is your time to pass on.) 


Kayana( Yes it has Zane and now I can rest in piece with the gods and craft for them.)


Zane ( Would you like to keep crafting?)


Kayana looks into Zanes amber eyes and thinks why he is asking such questions, Zane's Eyes shine bright and Kayanas face shows intrigue. He then looks at her and she could tell that this was not One but some one else, and begins to speak,


Zeke ( Would you like to keep crafting?)


Kayana ( Who are you?)


Zeke( I will tell you after you after you answer)


Kayana looks at him some more and then says,


Kayana ( Yes i do, I want to create beautiful works and help improve those around me, I want to craft and let nothing stop me.


Zeke smiles at her and the stands up[ and puts himself in the front of the bed and puts his arms behind his back, he speaks once again,


Zeke ( Then you shall, your reward for following the gods way and correcting you ways after straying a bit, I give you the chance to become a god.)
