Sadness

Ronin was now seven and even if Daedalus and Andromeda couldn't teach him everything very easily, it wasn't very difficult for him to train on his own. Daedalus had also decided that once they reach the islands of Heris, that he would set up a gym. Daedalus had decided to do this because he could create a basement for more heavy workouts, like beyond mortal standards.

With everything prepared Daedalus and Andromeda said goodbye to a few of the friends they had made and left again. As they where leaving by boat Daedalus noticed that they where bing followed so he had the world formation erase their presence. It helped to be connected intrinsically with an entire world.

On their way back to the islands of Heris, Daedalus and Andromeda had to make themselves look older than before. Even if they where known to have amazing genetics they couldn't make it so it looked like they didn't age. So they made themselves look closer to their mid to late twenties.

Ronin found it funny but he was quickly told off after laughing at them. Mostly because he was supposed to be practicing his cultivation technique. It was good that the accumulation technique allowed for the user to cultivate a second technique otherwise Ronin would have surely gotten frustrated.

He may know anatomy down to a near atomic level but it didn't mean his parents would be any less worried. Though Daedalus was preparing an inordinate stockpile of materials that he was planning to give Ronin on his twelfth birthday when they had told Ronin he would be allowed to further that technique.

It took three months to reach the island chain of Heris. Sadness was all it brought, a war had begun which ravaged the island chain. All life had been exterminated. Daedalus was sad, he had made friends out of many people there.

With the islands no longer an option Daedalus turned the ship in a different direction. Like this they began a separate plan of what they would be doing for the next few years. They would become a small merchant vessel, that would travel from island to island selling small jewels and fish from all around the world, just like before.

When the idea was decided on, Daedalus decided that the boat would be expanded on so that there would be plenty of room. This was mostly so that Ronin wouldn't get too bored when they where between islands.

Ronin quickly came to love the wanderers life, and quickly became proficient at picking up new languages, on the same level as Daedalus and Andromeda, who had long mastered it. On the other hand Ronin's training was further lengthened and he quickly became better and better at his precision style of sword fighting.

Daedalus had once used the style when he was younger but it was mostly to get a better understanding of the sword. Ronin on the other hand made it his own, and even Daedalus couldn't help but be amazed by the intricacies of his sons swordplay.
