Time

Hearing a shout from Thalia, Andromeda, Rose and several others made there way towards the little tree house to see what happened. As they made there way over Thalia was claiming her winnings for the bet she had won while trying to get Alicia to speak some more.

After a few minutes the others arrived and asked Shaun what had happened. Shaun explained that Alicia had said her first words in a happy tone before going back to trying to get her to say papa as well.

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

Back in the main house Selda noticed that everyone had headed over to the tree house. So as bored as she was she decided to investigate, Danel and Gram saw Selda leaving and decided to follow out of curiosity.

Thus everybody soon found out that Alicia had said her first word. This in turn led to a festive atmosphere throughout the household as a party was prepared.

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

Daedalus who had been in the middle of training felt that he had gotten somewhere he could stop for a moment. Simply put he had now gathered up enough space attributed energy to make the embodiment of space.

But Daedalus had a feeling that if he didn't have space and time completed simultaneously he could be badly injured, crippled or killed. As he had long learned to rely on his instincts Daedalus put off advancing his cultivation in order to insure safety.

While this was happening a piece of news circulated around the higher levels of the continent. Metal the genius of the dwarven race had been killed, and inside the emperor's castle no less.

If Artair where to hear about this he would simply brush it off, all rulers of the continent had placed spies in each of the others residences be they maid or more. Even Ceridwen had spies in Artair's castle, though it was more so to keep an eye on him as of recently.

Ceridwen and Artair however where currently out in the elven forest searching for time attributed anything. Time was by far the rarest of them all when it came to physical representations, like beasts or metals.

Daedalus was actually taking his time to absorb the excess time attributed energy around him in his spa. He knew how hard it would be to get any physical time attributed beast so he had already given up on the possibility in hopes of just getting enough energy in the same way he had gotten the embodiment of water completed.

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

With this several more weeks passed leaving only a month remained until the tournament began. Daedalus hadn't completed the absorption of time attributed energy and felt that he was close to finishing. However Daedalus was called by his aunt and uncle to meet with them.

So Daedalus left his spa and quickly made his way to the castle where he was led to the dining hall. There Daedalus was greeted by the sight of a few platinum coloured dishes. As Daedalus soon found out each and every one of these dishes where from a time attributed beast known as the wraith.
