Lyah had her questions ready."How did you meet? Was my Lily your champion? What will you do to test the new champions? Would you accept my sacrifice?"The words escaped her mouth in a hurry. As if she burst open the moment the god finished speaking.After that she sat down in the grass. "Sorry, why don't we start at the beginning. How did you meet my mother?"Behind Lyah a small portal opened up and a warm breeze rushed trough the garden. Without her noticing but painfully clear to Tavon, a large pile of golden coins spewed out and spread over a small open field in the garden. Each was roughly the size of a fist and displayed an artistic rose on each side identically. They glimmered in the sunlight.The portal close as quickly as it opened with nothing but a single jingle from a small silver bell."What was that?" Lyah looked around and picked up a coin. She looked at it quizzically, as the old priest had.

"Even though I am a god, I can only answer one question at the time," Tavon answered her with a smile. "Those coins are for the challenge you just heard about. I don't know yet how I am going to test the others, but getting those will be far from easy."
He leaned back and looked at the sky. "Now about how I met your mother. I will tell you the whole tale another time, otherwise we won't have time for other questions. Your mother brought beautiful roses to the festival, so I had to take a look at the person able to grow those. After we talked one thing led to another. You could say she was sort of my champion, but I always thought more of her like a close friend. The reason I stopped seeing her is.. well.. complicated. Humans change when they get older. " 
Tavon stood up and walked around Lyah, “Is that what you want my dear, become my champion? It won’t be all flowers and sunshine. You will have to face the challenges the other gods will set for you. They won’t be kind in testing you. And it is possible that I can’t reach you when you are within their domain” 
He stopped walking and looked her in the eyes, reaching his open hand out to her. “You always will be my daughter, do you also want to become my champion? Will you show the others the power, but also the kindness of your father?”
