There were three simultaneous face-palming sounds that resounded around the table, there was a small mont of disappointnt among the gods before sothing else overtook it, worry and amazent, Apophis was now laughing hard and saying "genius, simply genius, kid, I like your style, hahaha".
"So, how bad was the feeling?" Asked Fortuna as she took out a gauge that has been visibly upgraded and tinkered with a few tis, she looked at it and made so magic circles float around it as she waited for Yunan to answer. "It was bad enough, I chose to go through the long way back to ho, I did not dare use phase shift, I did not even dare to use the genie that was inside the private dinsion" Fortuna nodded as she confird his story through whatever she was doing. Apophis who has stopped laughing was now trying to squeeze in between Death and Yunan actively waving the old man away, just like soone with expertise.
"Tell three things, kiddo, what intent did you have, how many shards did you use, finally, how good is your control over your shards". Yunan imdiately obliged the keen elder "I only intended to glimpse the root of my bad feeling, nothing else, I used all the shards" Yunan felt a bit bashful when he said that, it was too much for just a quick divination now that he ntioned it, scratching the back of his head he continued " I can make use them as magic conduits and actively share them with others to do the sa".
Apophis was roaring with laughter again, Death was sweating bullets, Fortuna was proud and Hephaestus was obviously lost in thought. Mary wanted to leave the table as her hands shivered for so reason but she was held back. As if feeling her distress, Drogon brought over Cat and left her for Mary then took his usual spot on the dal, it took a mont before Fortuna spoke and hushed the laughing Apophis. "I know hubby was very worried, but you can't expect to use a few hundred shards of divinity just for a simple divination, that is the very definition of going above and beyond, you see, when gods look at the future, they are looking directly inside fate itself, when mortals look at the future, they glimpse from destiny, the catch is, destiny is malleable, it shows you what you want to see, fate shows you what you need to see".
"Fate is endless, vast and ever-changing, encompassing everything past, present and future, everything in there is a truth, destiny is like a river of ti, it can only contain the possibilities, the ones that are easiest to tread as paths in the future, fate, on the other hand, contains it all, even the tilines that have been deleted, looking inside fate is like asking it to show you what you need, whatever you get, is a truth, even one that may seem like a lie to us, therefore, gods do not casually look upon fate with anything less than 5 divinities and a realm, it will only muddle the head if one knows sothing they should not".
"Let explain the mumbo-jumbo to you kid, looking at fate requires divine power and intent, the more power you have the more it is likely fate will show you sothing relevant, you two perford a ritual, using faith, a divine power open to mortals, then amplified it by using hundreds of shards, and used a very basic intent, 'why do i have this bad feeling' basic but potent, now that you have both power and intent, destiny could not be the most precise instrunt to look at the future, therefore, you were introduced to fate, and it liked you, so much so, it only masked the information you got, probably because the scope of what you looked at is currently beyond you, you will naturally act on the prophecy and solve your bad feeling without needing to have mories, and when you are powerful enough or knowledgeable enough, the mories will just show themselves".
" I called you a genius, because no one has ever tried to call on fate for such reason, with such basic intent and so much power pumped into the request, you see even for Death it is draining to deal with fate, only those older than ti can look at fate unhindered, you, for so reason, gave fate more than enough power to ask a simple question, it was like buying an astronor association just to ask for the na of the moon or the sun, this much of unused power, was taken instead of paying the bill for looking into fate, I assu that your nagging feeling is already gone right?".
Yunan imdiately nodded, it was true, other than nursing the headache and the feeling of being drained, he was not feeling anything else at all, finally finding the courage and the stability of mind to talk, Mary with Catelyn in her lap, said in a mosquito voice "I think I have sothing leftover from the divination, the prophecy it was for Yunan my own intent was to clear up his bad feeling I think fate showed Yunan sleeping soundly with relief written all over him, fate did sothing to make it so " she really tried to hide as much as possible after she finished talking.
"Why do I even feel amazed anymore? You asked fate, the fate, to clear up a bad feeling sigh I wonder why everyone else who asked fate to do anything is either, dead, missing in so part of the universe or literally absorbed by fate it can't be thanks to that it's not even Hephaestus, you dove into fate before, was it because" Death was interrupted by Hephaestus who had a near invisible smile dancing on his lips "yup, it is exactly what you think it is, its already splashing about, don't you think front row seats are the best". "I see, I see, to think that this little mortal is such a great figure, to actually go about splashing in the waters of fate, I think I should take him to the chaos for a few years". "My hubby is pure awesoness, I am in love all over again"...
While the gods spoke like so people talking about so in-joke, the mortals looked at each other and then at Yunan who was twiddling his fingers lost in so kind of thought not really paying attention to what the gods were saying, as if forcefully zoning out their gibberish.
