As Daedalus and Shaun walked around the capital Shaun would occasionally ask Daedalus about some different shops that they were passing. One such shop was a small toy shop, as they looked around the shop Shaun saw cool little animal toys of a bunch of different types. Shaun curiously asked Daedalus "Big brother, what are those?"
Daedalus looked over and said "Oh those are animals, I guess since you haven't gone out much you haven't seen many other than Lightning."
Shaun looked at the animal toys enamored and said "Hey big brother, can we get some?"
Daedalus chuckled and said "Yeah, we can get a few toys,"
Daedalus then pointed at a specific toy and said "Why don't you get this dragon, they are a really cool and powerful creature!?"
Shaun smiled happily before agreeing. After they payed, with a small discount, Daedalus and Shaun continued their journey around the capital leaving behind a lot of 'ooohs' and 'awwws'. Their fun ended when Shaun started yawning cutely and uncontrollably. When they finally got home Shaun was sleeping against Daedalus' head in a cute way, so when they walked into the family area their parents smiled uncomfortably at the cute scene.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daedalus woke up the next morning with nothing much to do and so he walked into the family area. Daedalus ended up sitting beside Lightning just relaxing and watching the sun rise.
Daedalus had blanked out just enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, until he had a sudden burst of inspiration. Daedalus immediately got up and ran to his crafting room where he immediately locked the door. In the room Daedalus quickly took out a bunch of his living metal alloy and his old beaten up armour and sword.
Looking at his armour and sword Daedalus felt regret that he couldn't keep them in top condition, but after that he quickly started drawing designs. At first it was simple parts for armour and swords, but it quickly began including weird channels being built into the sword itself rather than inscribed on the outside. This channel idea had a few purposes, one being that the enchantments would be more durable, but that would only be if you wanted enchantments. Another use would be to make a living weapon that could grow stronger with the user, as well as even grow to fit the user better. This would mean that if a sword grew a spirit then it would be able to cultivate, the same could be said for armours if they were created using this method.
With these new and revolutionary technique Daedalus began making designs for a circulatory system for mana cultivation and body refining that would suit a weapon or armour well. In the end Daedalus managed to make it so that a core could be formed in the handle as that would be the heart of the sword. This also gave Daedalus insights into the sword and allowed him to understand what Danforth had said about meditating on the sword, it was to get a better understanding of how the sword itself worked.
If you couldn't tell I have a slight weakness for all things cute. Hope you enjoyed thanks for reading!!!
With his new technique Daedalus quickly came to a decision to make a new sword. Daedalus looked over at his sword 'Void Slasher' he sighed before setting it on a stand in the corner of the room.
Daedalus then walked over to his forge and poured a block of living metal into the fire. As Daedalus got it up to temperature he also prepared a few different types of wood, like ebony and ironwood, for the handle. When it reached the correct temperature and began melting Daedalus quickly removed a small amount from a side of the block.
Daedalus took this chunk over to his anvil and slowly began making the circulatory system for the sword. It was only when there would be enough parts in each part of the sword, blade, guard and handle, that he stopped satisfied with his work. If the sword gained sentience then it would be able to strengthen every par of itself, except maybe the wooden outer handle bit.
Now that the circulatory system was complete Daedalus circulated his mana through it, in order to make it tougher to break, bend or melt. Walking over to the furnace Daedalus put the new circulatory system into the now boiling molten living metal. Using his mana Daedalus forced the circulatory system and living metal to attach while also forming the blade and guard of the sword. Daedalus did it this way as it was a less delicate point and it would actually benefit the sword to use his mana to form it.
With the sword finished other than the wooden part of the handle Daedalus placed it into the cooling water. Daedalus then took a few different types of strong woods and carved out a handle made out of each type of wood, this would make it a sturdier handle. As he finished with the handle Daedalus walked back over to the sword and took it out of the water. After letting his blade cool for a while Daedalus placed the handle into its slot between the metal ribs of the handle.
Daedalus then picked up the blade. It looked beautiful to Daedalus like the stars and void or time and space. the handle was made with rib like circular rings that could be strengthened by mana and would protect the wooden handle if nothing else. The guard of the blade resembled the wings of a great black dragon with a metallic lustre and scale like protrusions that could be used to more effectively stop, break and trap enemy's swords, it also had a few tube like parts that would allow for better mana conduction. The blade was a bright silver black that resembled galaxies and stars as well as black holes and the void. The circulatory system naturally had many parts going into the blade itself but the part with the most was the very center of the sword where all of the parts connected, that is where the core will be formed when his sword gains sentience... or more so awakens.
I hope you enjoyed I tried to make it more detailed so yeah. Thanks for reading this chapter!!!
