New Technique

Within a beautiful and lush garden, surrounded by trees, was Daedalus. With him was Danforth, Rudra and Ceridwen who felt like joining them.

Daedalus was practicing his sword skills with elemental energy so that he could better his control even further. As Daedalus did that Danforth and Rudra where sitting at a table playing chess while Ceridwen asked them questions about the game.

Daedalus continued his training by trying to incorporate more elements into his sword, which wasn't Icarus because Icarus can easily house any element that Daedalus can. So Daedalus made a new sword during the last week that he would need to be careful to not explode.

So far Daedalus had managed to use the metal element to reinforce the blade, the fire element to increase the sharpness and the wind element to lighten it. Because of all of that it was beginning to strain under the elemental pressure even with Daedalus control. A few minutes later the blade gave up and warped, badly, into a small scrap heap.

Rather than continue with his training Daedalus sat down and meditated on what went wrong, other than it being a weak sword. Slowly Daedalus came to a realisation 'What if I make the sword out of the elements?'

Standing up Daedalus put out his hand and began to command the elements to form around his hand. So slowly Daedalus gathered each of the basic elements, Fire, Water, Air, Metal, Earth and Wood. Wood was by far the easiest so the handle formed quickly however rather than stopping with simply forming the handle Daedalus decided to compress the wood further so that it would become tougher.

Within a few more minutes Daedalus had gathered enough Metal, Earth and fire elements so he began to form the blade. As he did he slowly pushed the air out of the blade removing any imperfections as he did. Eventually the blade finished forming and a red hot blade was visible. So Daedalus Summoned the water elements that he had gathered and doused the blade, turning it into a dark black with brown and silver patterns.

Daedalus laughed as he found that it was solid and wouldn't simply disappear unless he wanted it to disappear. Turning around Daedalus saw the other three staring at him with suprise before all sighing at once and saying "Why does he even suprise me any more, he does this all the time!"

Daedalus raised an eyebrow and Danforth spoke "That is a god level technique I was planning to teach you when we reached that level again, but you went and did it when you shouldn't even be able to."

Ceridwen nodded and said "Even I can't use it yet and I am close to that level, though it isn't called the god level."

Daedalus smiled wryly when he heard them but stayed silent for a moment before saying "So how well do you think I did?"

Danforth stood up and said "For a beginner not to mention I didn't even teach it to you, amazing. Compared to just before we got here, I could form a broadsword in under a hundredth of a second."
