The Guardian

Though Daedalus had long reined in his aura, the snowflakes from before continued to fall. By this point the entire forest had become a freezing wasteland, filled with statues of animals and trees of ice.

Danforth had long taken Long Tian out of the freezing forest as he was starting to take after the frozen animals. Daedalus had also noticed this but he was in an emotionless state so he only said "You should leave now, I will return later."

Luckily the horses had left before the fight against the bandits even began so they where likely outside the effected area. So Danforth left Long Tian with the horses and returned to wait with Daedalus for whoever was coming.

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

A few days later Daedalus finally stood up and said "Danforth this person is stronger than you, you may want to leave."

Danforth shuddered at that because this meant that Daedalus was currently stronger than him. Then he realised that he should have understood that sooner as he couldn't even sense the seemingly approaching person.

So with a good enough understanding of the situation Danforth left and made his way back towards Long Tian but not before saying "Be careful and come find me back in the palace I will be waiting for you there."

Daedalus nodded at this and went back to looking towards where the strong person was coming from. Danforth then flew away in the direction of Long Tian, intent on making sure that he was ready and waiting when Daedalus got back.

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

An hour after Danforth had left Daedalus could finally see the person he had sensed earlier. The person now identifiable as a man landed not far from Daedalus and said "Do you know what you've done!?"

Daedalus raised an eyebrow clearly a reaction that caused the man to feel anger as the man had a vein bulging on his forehead. The man then explained "I am the guardian of this planet as I hope you would have guessed. I came here because your aura caused damage to the planets core!"

Daedalus began to realise now the problem but began explaining why his aura was out making the man understand that Daedalus had undergone some sort of awakening. So quickly the man asked "What is your bloodline? I think you may have undergone an awakening of your bloodline."

Against his own judgement Daedalus who felt the man was trustworthy replied "Tyrannical Fiend God and Dragon God bloodlines."

The guardian went blank for a moment and looked at Daedalus before sighing as if in despair and saying "Well I guess it would be the Tyrannical Fiend God awakening as you didn't turn into a dragon. Well at least try not to cause more damage to the planet I will have to spend the next few thousand years just trying to seal the cracks in the core."

After saying what he wanted the guardian said his good byes and left again in the direction he came from before seemingly teleporting away.
