Of Hephaestus' Fire

This Red Flame represents the interest, curiosity, enthusiasm, passion, dedication and creativity. It's the desire to to study, to research, to learn, to develop, to improve, to change. The music that represents Hephaestus are cathartical symphonic pieces. Revived Power, by Kow Otani, is my hymn to Hephaestus.

As the quintessence of a character, this is the man whose inner child is ever awake. The hardness of the world hasn't put out his sense of amazement and nothing ceases to marvel him and all details of the surrounding world hold him curious, willing to learn every inch of it all.  His ambitious ideas and the prospect of achieving them is what fuels him up.

One can lose nights of sleep with his craftings, as the energy that is born from this wonderment that keeps us awake is one of trademarks of this passionate devotion. Indeed, it always called the attention the way something so marvelous and interesting can so easily postpone my sleepiness, no matter how tired I am. Better than an early shower at 6am, finding some complex music to air riff puts me awake and full of energy in a moment.

Although probably my most important flame, Hephaestus is only a part of a quintessence, and he is not without his companions. He shares Áine's love for the world and Zhu Rong's impetuosity, energy and dedication. He also shares a bond with Trygve as a way to heal my wounds, to ease them, to bear them. His relationship with Vesta is the most troublesome one, as she demands a little more sense of down-to-earthness that is understandably not his strength.
