There are several reasons for him to master runes. His primary aim to learn the law of order will help him push forward the boundary of what's possible with runes. So the two of them work together.

Learning the law of order is not too far ahead of him. He just needs to become a transcendent then he will be able to comprehend the laws from the law fragments. But he can't break through without knowing what the sun god is marking on his body.

These two will take a lot of time. His practice with Rune making will take a few more years and his body needs time to develop better. A much stronger body will be able to handle heavier modifications to the law fragments and he will need a very strong body for what he plans.

Since there's no rush or immediate threat to him, he will just train calmly. Besides, Legion has a plan to handle the gods of the plane. All it needs is some time to kick off.

The days went by until it became time for his second-star celebration. A lot of people came to attend the ceremony. Only important dignitaries from the cities and churches are allowed at the ceremony. Not anyone will be allowed to such an important occasion. A holiday was announced to allow the commoners to join in the celebration.

The celebration of the second star of a giant of order is very important. The first star that occurs at 10 years old marks the moment when a giant of order can get its first rune. This honor is given to the god that the family of the child serves. The child will be taken to the church and their child will be marked.

The second star that happens at 20 years old is another opportunity to create another Rune. This moment marks a milestone in the life of the child because they get to choose their own marks. What they chose at that point is of significance considering how precious the law fragments are. Usually, the child chooses the mark of their tribe. It is a means to identify them with a tribe of giants.

The tribe will celebrate the addition of another member to their midst. The third star is for the family. The child will bear a totem that represents the lineage of the family and ancestors. This has been part of their culture for hundreds of Origin cycles.

There's no celebration for the first star, it is an event between a child and the god he has chosen to believe in. There's a private celebration for the third one, it is for the family of the child. The second star calls for a public celebration. The public celebration for a demigod is rare and this is why even people belonging to other churches and cities are coming. They all want to see the exhibition competition.

The sun city has been thrown into a festive mood because of the upcoming celebration. Decorations have been put up and people are flocking to the city. Everyone is clearly in a good mood except the celebrant.

Cardinal Hak has been disturbing him more than usual. So many questions and extra bothering. It is either about clothes, food, friends, etc. Helios doesn't care about any of that.

He said it several times too. "Stop disturbing me, Hak. I don't care about any of that."

Helios refused to indulge in any traditions even the most important ones like having a Rune. The sun god is already taking more law fragments from him, there's no way he is going to allow more of them to be spent on mediocre runes. To make sure of that, he has to make it himself but he isn't good enough yet. So, no more runes until then.

"But what are you going to showcase for the exhibition competition?" Hak asked desperately as they were escorted to the location of the party.

"I'll just borrow someone's bow or something." He replied unconcerned.

Hak paled. "No, you can't do that. It is not how things are done."

The Exhibition competition is a very important event during the second-star celebration. Since the era of transcendence when totems had become a part of the culture of the giants of order, the public celebration is an opportunity for a child to display his or her talent and be assigned to a good position in the tribe.

This talent exhibition is of more importance when the public celebration is held for more than a single child. The children will compete with the use of their tribal rune. The children that can use the tribal rune better get to join the hunters, a very prestigious caste in a society dependent on foraging and Fighting.

The demigods of the sun god usually display the use of their sunbow during the celebration. It is how things are done.

"It doesn't matter how things are done. I'll do it my way."

Except Helios doesn't care about how things are done. He can bend his ways for some things but a rune is not one of them.

Hak asked, "Didn't you say you will make your own runes yourself? So why haven't you?"

Helios nodded, "I said that, but it's going to take time. I have only been training for 10 years. I need more time."

Hak sighed and accepted the reality that Helios won't change his mind. They entered the ceremony unannounced. Helios couldn't wait for his name to be announced so he simply entered while Hak continued to sigh.

The location of the party is huge considering that it belongs to giants but it is extra big because of the exhibition stage that is built at the center of the location. The exhibition stage can be used for racing, fighting, archery, and other forms of competition. So the site of the celebration is like a sports center or a stadium. It can be used for various things.
