The sound of metal smashing into eachother rang through the clearing. The clashing caused a blade of wind to form cutting down a tree to the left.

Daedalus and Danforth had begun sparring a few minutes earlier and had finally stopped testing eachother, becoming serious. Danforth took advantage of the size of his axe to bring pressure to Daedalus however Daedalus was able to dodge and attack more easily. This all worked in a way that gave Daedalus a degree of advantage, simply because he was faster.

Daedalus knew that other cultivators who where stronger could wield an axe at similar speeds to spears and swords, but Danforth was slightly too weak right now. So Daedalus took his advantage and used it slowly causing Danforth to back away, even getting a few cuts into his clothes. It was lucky that Danforth's body was made from living metal, otherwise he would have tens of cuts all over his body.

Eventually Daedalus managed to disarm Danforth putting the spar to an end. Danforth sighed before saying "I guess I need to get a bit stronger, both physically and cultivation wise. I will let you be fore now so that I can go cultivate, okay."

Daedalus smiled and said "Remember to choose a suitable element, alright?"

Danforth smiled and said "See you in a month or something."

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

After saying goodbye to Danforth, Daedalus walked over to the others and sat down. Ceridwen looked at him for a moment before saying "Let's play chess."

Daedalus nodded and laughed before moving a piece on the board. Ceridwen looked at the piece then moved her own. Rudra who was sitting to the side smiled happily before collapsing on the table and falling asleep, he hadn't slept in over two months.

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

A few weeks passed and Ceridwen hadn't won a single match however Daedalus felt that he needed to do some exploring, even if it was only exploring the capital. So telling Ceridwen this Daedalus left the clearing, heading towards the palace gates.

When he arrived at the gates the guards looked confused for a moment before walking over and saying "Who are you? We haven't seen you before."

Daedalus chuckled and said "I guess I have been with my aunt these past two and a half months. I am Daedalus, could you let me leave."

Daedalus knew that his identity as the emperor of a planet wouldn't necessarily help him so he decided to just stay as Daedalus while he is here. The guards however, didn't seem to like his disregard of them and the taller one said "Okay, let me rephrase my question. What are you doing here and what is you full identity?"

Daedalus' lips twitched in annoyance before he said "I am the nephew of the empress, now get out of my way."

The shorter guard seemed to have realised that Daedalus was hiding his identity and had already moved to the side after bowing. So Daedalus didn't mind him and actually gave him a smile before leaving through the gates.

After Daedalus had left the taller guard fell to his knees, causing a clanking of metal. He knew that he had screwed up. The shorter guard Walked over and said "That was stupid of you, he was coming from inside the palace. You can leave you are no longer a guard of the palace."
