"I sure hope its true that the ancestral statues can come to our aid if we were facing a disaster that can wipe out our house?" Said kirrien worriedly
"Calm down, I am sure it won't come to that. If we don't tell anyone that your daughter has the celestial body then no body can suspect it. Having a talent of 6 is very rare that in all my years I have not heard of anyone who had such a talent. This talent is equated having a celestial's body for a reason" said the old man who was standing next him.
The two people were standing in a huge room facing the 23 life sized statues of men and women which filled the room. Each statue represented a Lord of House Ururu who had managed to leave the land of kiania and each of the statues resembled both men.
kirrien and looked away from the statues of his ancestors to the old man standing next to him, although he thought of vin as the old man, the man didn't look very old. Vin appeared to be a man in is early fifties with only a few strands of grey hair on his head but the truth was that he was twice that age."I am just worried that if Royal House Kapulya learns of my daughters talent, they will do everything in their power to kill her before she reaches the Underlord Realm. Her talent ensures that she will reach the Underlord Realm without any bottlenecks. They can not afford to let another house have 3 Underlords like them,that could undermine their influence especially with the War coming. Its what I would do in their place."
"We will just have to tell everyone that she has a talent of 4, that should cover up her fast advances up through the Realms up to the Realm of Paste Phase. As for ancestral statues, the most powerful people of this house are required to leave behind a stone golem before they pass through the Portal Gates and if any of the ancestors managed to reach the Primordial Realm then it is possible for them to animate their stone golem from the planet and aid us. The only ancestor I know to have reached and gone beyond this realm is Ancestor Arkedius Ururu and that was alone time ago. I don't even know if he is still alive, during my time as Patriarch of Noble House Ururu none of the ancestors have communicated with me through their statues and that's including Ancestor Arkedius." Said vin trying and failing to calm his nephew for he too was worried. Noble House Ururu was a powerful house, it was ranked third in the city of Zophia. It had 2 Underlords: Vincent kunda Ururu and Kirrien kunda Ururu but a fight against Royal House Kapulya was not something it can win.

"Should the elders be told?" kirrien asked.
"The only thing todo is to place a geas on your daughter so that she doesn't accidentally tell any of her friends. We have to send her to the academy as well when she turns 16 to avoid suspicion, we can only avoid to delay sending her there for year as not all Noble houses send all their children at 15. Your daughter's talent must remain between the two of us, the Elders of this house will not be told for I am not sure all of them are loyal to this house." Said vin his voice was hard when he spoke about his House Elder's loyalty."Your daughter will be our hidden ace when the Gate War begins, we will be able to secure more passage through the Portal Gate with 3 Lords. As for the Elders I will deal with them in time, let them enjoy themselves for now."
"I hope everything turns out well. Goodnight Patriarch. Am off to celebrate my daughters twelfth birth day" said kirrien and left his uncle in the ancestral room.
