Daedalus was surprised. He hadn't expected Nox to have gotten as strong as he had. It had only taken an instant for the kitten to show its dominance over Grey and his pack. Of course this was done with a single attack that created a crater around Grey's form that had been engraved into the ground.
This was surprising as Daedalus hadn't even told Nox that Grey was his partner yet. He had expected this to happen after he had told them though. The others on the other hand where just surprised, Nox rarely attacked anything with that much strength so to see him doing so was a bit of a shock.
Daedalus took this time to explain saying "I would assume that Nox sensed that I had gotten a new partner, and decided to show his dominance."
Hearing this the others where surprised that Daedalus had gotten a new partner. But still it let them understand what was happening as it was quite a common occurrence when someone got a second partner.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignoring the two beast partners fighting to the side Daedalus looked back to Andromeda who happened to still be in his arms. He then gave her a quick kiss before whispering "More for you later."
Andromeda blushed at this before pouting and turning away. Rose who happened to be looking over made a gagging sound before a glare from from Daedalus made her look away and start whistling.
Daedalus let out a happy sigh as he felt that most of his stress had disappeared. This was obviously noticed by the others as he had returned to their attention when Rose had started whistling.
Daedalus looked at them and said "So what took you so long to get here? I only took a month and you all have taken over a year. to get here."
Reginn then said "Well we couldn't leave anyone behind, so we took the entire empire with us, except the ones that didn't want to come with."
Rose then continued "We also explained that we wouldn't be coming back for at least a couple years at best, that weeded out the corrupt officials who wanted to take over as rulers. I guess they forgot that the palace would be the transport ship."
Then Shaun shook his head while saying "I still don't get how you managed to make it so that the castle could do that. You know I watched from the outside when it transformed. It condensed, if I could describe it any other way I would. The others still don't believe me as they where inside the palace making it work at the time. They even said that it was only one part of the palace that transported us."
Hearing Shaun's rant Daedalus couldn't help but look over only to see a little girl hiding behind his leg. Daedalus was immediately curious towards this as he hadn't been informed of someone having a kid.
Thalia who was standing beside Shaun saw Daedalus' look only sighed before saying "Alicia you can come out now."
At hearing this the little Alicia toddled out from behind her father's legs and stared curiously at Daedalus. Seeing this adorable act Daedalus couldn't help but smile. Then after quickly putting two and two together Daedalus said "So you are Thalia and Shaun's daughter?"
