Chapter 58: A Year of Reading

With his new found control of fire and water Daedalus began looking deeper through all the books he had been given. However after a while Daedalus could not find anything he had not already found out. Daedalus looked over to Danforth again and said "Hey Danforth could you give me a few more books, preferably more in depth than the last?"

Danforth looked at Daedalus before shaking his head and throwing almost an entire library worth of books at him.

When Daedalus looked through the books however he discovered that they were all on the different elements rather than further insights into fire or water. Daedalus looked over at Danforth confused and was about to ask him about it when Danforth interrupted him saying "Daedalus you need to look into the other elements first. Then and only then can you start discovering what it means to you. The biggest mistake that any mage makes is using others insights to further their knowledge, rather than doing it them self. There is no way to get around the fact that to truly reach the peak you must forge your own path!"

Daedalus looked shocked and then he took on a thoughtful face. After a while he realised that he had not been following his own path so far. So first thing he did was discard all of his spells, they were all made by others, so he would make his own. Daedalus continued and removed all books about spells from the mountain of books which left a small hill about the control of attributed Mana. Daedalus then began a long process of constant reading and testing his theory's.

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

It was only almost a year later that Daedalus finally finished reading all the books on control that he could get ahold of. At this point Daedalus was capable of near perfect control of most elements, however the more complex types like space and time he had a hard time controlling.

Daedalus had decided since the previous year that if he was satisfied with his level of control, he would ask Danforth to train him further in both the sword and hand to hand combat. Daedalus walked over to Danforth before saying "Danforth, I would like to ask that you would train me in the sword and hand to hand combat, will you agree to my selfish request?"

Danforth looked at Daedalus and said with a smirk "You are really not ment to be too formal are you, yeah I will teach you, but you need to call me Master!"

Daedalus sighed before saying with resolve "Master!"

With that Daedalus began a constant daily training in a separate room of the castle from his past study room, the training hall. The training hall was made with a formation that would increase the gravity around all those who entered either to the limit or a set amount at the control panel. Danforth told Daedalus that the training would consist of first working out under the gravity to get Daedalus used to fighting under a stronger enemy's aura. The second part would be practising his sword and hand to hand fighting from the beginning under Danforth's instructions. The third and final would be meditating on the sword and the hand so that he could infuse the knowledge into his strikes, although Daedalus did not know what that meant.
