Chapter 14 Beginning of Magic

After elder Daryus had left Daedalus turned to Gram and said "Master I would like to start learning magic soon." Gram replied calmly "Ok start of the next school year and I will start teaching you."

Daedalus relieved to have finally been promised to learn magic smiled and said "Ok well I don't feel like staying any longer so I will see you tomorrow in the morning."

Daedlaus then walked home wearing his armour, sword and shield so that his hands were free. walking up to his homes door he went in to hear his parents say in unison "I thought you would be out longer?" Daedalus just said "I got bored when I destroyed everyone in the blacksmith contest so I decided to head home. I will be in my room if you need me." before walking into his room.

After he had entered his room he immediately took off his armour and sword before grabbing his shield and taking a look for any scratches as it had been hit, seeing none he put it with his armour and sword in a small vault under his bedroom floor.

After a few hours making blueprints it was finally night time so Daedalus decide to go to sleep.

A few months later, It was the beginning of the new school year and Daedalus was getting more and more excited as he got closer to the school.

Entering the front gate his master Gram was standing their clearly waiting for Daedalus. Seeing this Daedalus waved at Gram while walking over resulting in Gram waving at him.

Daedalus immediately said "It is good to see you master. So are you going to be teaching me about magic from now on?" sounding excited. Gram hearing Daedalus said "Of course but we will still do some training in spare time!"

Daedalus and Gram then walked over towards the lake that they always talk in before sitting down on the same rocks as usual. Daedlaus then said "Ok so where do we start?" with Gram responding "Well basically. Try and feel the magic in the atmosphere and bring it towards you, then tell me when you have done that." Gram then taught Daedalus how to meditate.

As Daedalus closed his eyes while sitting in a lotus position he felt something in the air. Thinking about it he realised that he had already been able to sense the magic particles in the air. Breathing in Daedalus could feel the magic moving through his body cleansing it and making himself stronger.

Opening his eyes Daedalus saw that Gram was looking at him in shock with a look of near horror on his face, so Daedalus said "Master I have taken the magic into my body, what is next?"

Gram hearing him quickly came back to himself and said "Well that shocked me. Ok go ahead and keep doing that until the end of the day, oh and this is called magical body refining and it in a simple way makes your cells stronger by removing and cleansing your body of imperfections. You will be doing this for three hours every day." Daedalus replied with a curt "Yes master, I will make sure to do this three hours every day."

Daedlaus then closed his eyes and continued meditating. After three hours of continuous meditation Daedalus had been covered in a hard but sticky goo. Smelling the putrid substance Daedalus launched himself into the water slightly surprising his master who then started laughing uproariously.
