Darklight Swift Steps

It was a quiet morning so Daedalus decided to continue his work on the Grand Amatas Foundational Techniques, and so Daedalus carefully and quietly got out of bed without waking up Andromeda. After getting out of the room Daedalus sighed in relief and though 'Maybe I should learn a proper assassination technique so I can get out more quietly, and much easier.'

With an idea in mind Daedalus made his way to the kitchen and made himself a simple breakfast, before walking to his study. When he arrived Daedalus set down his food on the desk and quickly walked over to the bookcases. To say they where large would be an enormous understatement and so it took Daedalus easily half an hour before he finally found an appropriate technique for what he wanted.

'Andromeda had told him to take a break from the Grand Amatas Foundational Techniques for at least a while right?' he though while smirking slightly. So with gusto, Daedalus began to read.

It was an interesting technique known as the Darklight Swift Steps. It was not even a high level technique to most however at a closer look it was clear to see that the technique scaled with your strength. Daedalus had obtained it from the Dark Shire region Central territory. It was also in the low level techniques section of their library and could be read by anyone.

What shocked Daedalus however was that nobody bothered learning it fully as it was too difficult. To Daedalus he found it easy to understand so he decided to truly analyse the technique. What he found however was the reason it was so difficult, it required you to gain an understanding of specific laws and be able to apply that understanding.

Even to Daedalus this would have been difficult, however he had gained a magnificent understanding of the laws of Yin and Yang. These where of course the higher level laws that encompassed all of the laws necessary for the technique as they where primarily Dark and Light based laws.

With his newfound understanding of the technique Daedalus made his way down to the lake, greeting the servants along the way like usual. After arriving at the lake Daedalus started practicing the technique by the shore and on the soft sand. He did this because it would allow him to see his faults based off of how many depressions he made in the sand.

At first he made numerous mistakes however over the course of several hours Daedalus became better and better resulting in less depressions. Eventually however Daedalus was interrupted by a light cough from the side. As he looked over he smiled wryly and said "So how long have you been watching?"

"Ever since I found the cold food in your study." Said Andromeda with a teasing smile on her face. She however became rather serious for a second and said "That is an interesting technique, very complicated. What is it called?"

To this Daedalus smiled and said "A common technique from the Central territory in the Dark Shire region, known as Darklight Swift Steps."

Andromeda hearing common raised an eyebrow and said "Sure, I am going to visit the territory later and prove you wrong."
