Walls Are Difficult

He was not ready. It had been five weeks since he started building the outer wall. Yes, outer wall and there are plans to build two inner walls as well. Daedalus had severely underestimated the difficulty of building just the outer wall.

The wall was about seventy five metres thick so that was one thing. Daedalus did however obtain the correct amount of materials, luckily, so he would not have to worry about that. It was also this difficult because Daedalus had to carve formations in to the wall after he had built it. Grite was of course a bit displeased but after seeing how much difficulty Daedalus had been going through, to say the least he started helping with the formations.

It was only about twelve weeks after that when they finally finished the outer wall. So now that the area had the walls and formations Daedalus was finally satisfied enough to let Andromeda and the kids to visit while he worked, as it was far safer.

So over the time it took to build the outer inner wall, or the one closest to the outer wall, Daedalus got daily visits from Andromeda, Reginn and Rose. Grite of course got visits from his wife and kid. In this time Daedalus got to know Grite's family quite well, even to the point Daedalus knew that it was his wife who was really in charge. Daedalus of course used that information to tease Grite every time he got the chance.

About a month after starting with the outer inner wall Daedalus and Grite finished off the final formation. This formation would repel any one under a certain status as, though Daedalus hated the term, there where benefits like awarding loyal citizen. Daedalus was of course going to make sure that everyone that obtained a higher status knew that it was only because they where loyal, and that it could be stripped from them at a moment's notice. All other formations on the outer inner wall where simply protection and reinforcement based.

After completing the two walls in succession Daedalus told Grite that they would be taking a break for a month, just simply to recuperate. Grite of course agreed to this and left immediately. With Grite gone Daedalus looked at the two walls and smiled. After that Daedalus went back home to play with his kids.

About twenty minutes later Daedalus had gotten home, he could see Andromeda and the twins packing up some bags. They where likely planning to visit him at the new city. Rose then looked over and saw him so she dropped everything and ran over to give him a hug.

Rose had been abnormally attached to Daedalus ever since the incident. It seemed that she felt really bad about what she did. Daedalus however did not mind as he got to hug her all the time.

With Rose getting a hug Reginn got jealous and ran over for a hug two, however remembering the last time he did that he stopped in his tracks. It was only when he was called over by Daedalus that he smiled and continued running over.
