  "That reminds me now that you've pleted this statue are you going to update your falna now?" Hestia asked curiously.

  "I actually have o thing to do before I do that and if it works I'll have a nice surprise waiting when I update." I said with a grin.

  "Something tells me I don't want to know what you have pnned so i'm not gonna ask." she said dryly.

  "Your loss I guess, noants to go with me to find Ptah tomorrow?" I asked with a smile.

  Nobody wao uy disappoi so I could only shrug and lock up for the night. The m I woke up, pried my goddess off me and headed to the bathroom to get dressed. I wasn't going to be delving today though as I o have Ptah e collect his statue and pay for it. I also had other pns that hopefully panned out as it would prove VERY useful ter when the size of the monster rex's and a floors in the dungeon start getting very very rge. I'll expin more on that ter when I get t on it.-

  Leaving the church I headed over to the spot I khat I'd be more than likely to find the art god in, The artist hut. A not so accurate name as it was by no means a hut but rather a rge gallery that was collectively run by Ptah, Bragi and Calliope who were all gods with a domaied to either creativity or art in some form. It was a huge marble building that they used to show off any art they found iy that caught their eyes. It also en to the public for a small fee of three hundred valis and after being open for a few years had paid for itself practically and rofit after that.-

  I paid the fee to ehe pd was not surprised to find that there was a small area that had hay of my figurines set behind a gss dispy case. My work was not the only art here though, far from it in fact as there were paintings, sheets of musid even ons and armor that were decorative in nature rather than funal.-

  I found Ptah in the area with the sheet music humming a tuhat I was fairly certain was the musi the sheet with a smile.

  "Good m." I said politely auro look at me in surprise.

  "Ah! Mr. Drake how wonderful to see you! Are you by ce here to peruse the rest of the fi my patriots and I discovered?" He asked with a happy smile.

  "'t say I won't iure but today I am here for your ission, it's finished." I said with a smile of my own.

  His face lit up iement "Marvelous! e e I simply must see what masterpiece you've prepared for me posthaste!" he said eagerly trying t me out the gallery.

  "Now theres and expression I reize, issioned some over the top piece yet again and lear's finished?" a deep voice asked humorously.

  Turning to look I saw a muscur god with long brown hair and a thick beard walking towards us.

  "You know me well Bragi, I issioned Mr. Drake here to create a life-sized Sphinx statue out of dungeon crystal and he's just informed me of it's pletion. Would you care to join me in taking a look?" Ptah offered, clearly on good terms with this god.

  "Drake? As in the creator of the boatues?" Bragi asked surprised.

  "One and the same old friend." Ptah said with a nod.

  "Bragi, god of poetry and the arts. Your works with bone have been quite a popur topic for a while now." Bragi said holding out a hand with a smile.

  I shook the hand and was surprised by the strength in the grip "Alexander Drake, o meet you." I said holy.

  "Now that we have gotten introdus out of the way will you be joining me in seeing the work I issioned?" Ptah asked still friendly but rather impatient.

  Bragi chuckled "Always so filled with energy eh old friend? I have no prior appois to attend so if you'd have me I'd love to withis spectacle." the god said with a smile.

  "Wonderful! e, e and see!" Ptah said leading the eagerly.

  "Before we get there I should warn both of you not to try and open the door if you value your fingers." I said seriously on the way.

  "That's an unusual warning, some sort of reason behind it?" Bragi asked curiously.

  "The log meism is desigo unloly when it's registered users pce their finger in it. If anyone else tries the door will devour the offending fihe best part about it is that it's impossible to pick your way in thanks to this." I said with a proud smile.

  "Su iive idea! I imagi must have taken you quite the amount of valis to ission?" Ptah asked curiously.

  "Not at all, I was the one who created it after all." I said holy.

  "Truly a man of many talents it seems Mr. Drake. Perhaps I might ission a piece of yours myself should I have want for such a thing." Bragi said impressed.

  We idly chatted about my bone figures and what other things I did. They were both surprised to find that I made ons and armors as well as "magic" items beyond just the none magical items like paper I created. Eventually we got to the churd Hestia waved at us as I led the two gods over to my building.

  "Oh now theres something you don't see everyday! Is this entire building made of bone?" Ptah asked in amazement as he ran his finger over the outer walls.

  "Good eye, I colored aured the whole thing to look like sto you still figured out that it was made of bone." I said genuinely impressed that he figured it out at a g that's a god of art for you I guess.

  I led the way over to the rge metal door and unlocked it with my finger while the two gods watched in i as the bolts holding it firmly shut all retracted into the door like a vault before the door smoothly swung open.

  "Stunning, simply breathtaking! Look how the light seems to make the whole thing shine like diamond ahis detail and preakes it seem like it will start moving at any moment! You've out done yourself Mr. Drake, I could not be happier!" Ptah said with the eagerness of a child set loose in a dy store with ris.
