Chapter 4 Genius

As Daedalus woke up the next morning he saw his father Danel laying on top of him with a worried look on his sleeping face.

Due to Daedalus moving around Danel woke up before looking to see that Daedalus had woken up and was looking at him. Because he saw Daedalus awake and alright he started tearing up before saying loudly "Never, ever do that again, you hear me, never again. You scared us half to death, Daedalus!"

Danel then hugged Daedalus to his chest saying "I was so worried, thank the gods you're alright." breathing in deeply Danel said "Ok, get up your mother is still having a panic attack, she needs to see that you're alright."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days later Daedalus is finally let out of bed, deciding now is better a time than any he tells his father "Mother, I want to be a Craftsman. The best Craftsman in the entire world!"

Selda shocked at what she heard "What, why this all of a sudden. I know you like weapons and armour a lot but you haven't even tried yet, so why." Daedalus says in the most serious face he has ever used "Then give me a hammer, a blueprint some metal and some time, I will make an awesome tool that will prove I have what it takes!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Selda's Smithy

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ok Daedalus, everything you need is in here. Now you can start, but do not hurt yourself or I will stop you and you will have to wait until you are older and more capable before you try again."

"Ok mom."

Looking around Daedalus starts thinking "So I will first try to make a good tool set for the future. The blueprints are over there."

Walking over to a darker corner of the Smithy Daedalus begins looking through a large stack of papers and some leather hides of various types and sizes. Daedalus quickly finds a few hammer and other tool designs, and carries them to a desk.

After a few minutes of reading through the blueprints, Daedalus walks to a storage room to his right. In the storage room all that is visible is a multitude of ores and other blacksmith materials like wood for handles and bows.

Looking at the ores, Daedalus quickly finds a deep silver red ore and a few bright turquoise ingots, quickly walking back and forth between the forge and the storage room, Daedalus quickly moves all of the ore he needs over including.

Iron, Adamantine, mythril and a few other ingots like steel. After setting it all by the forge he walked back into the storage, but quickly re-emerged carrying a small ironwood log and a small stack of other woods. Using all the wood except for the ironwood Daedalus lights the forge.

After waiting and watching the fire until it was up to heat, Daedalus quickly started placing all the metals into a strong looking red hot basin in the center of the forge. As the metal starts to melt Daedalus puts a dark red powder in making the partially melted metals start combining.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

after a few hours of forging the metals with his mothers hammer a set of dark shining purple black tools could be seen cooling in a water container.

Daedalus due to his hard work is now asleep and covered in sweat, laying in his mothers arms.

Selda just stood their with her mouth wide open, enough for a fist to fit in her mouth, staring at the pieces of artwork that her son had just made.
