After escaping from his teachers Daedalus continued to make his way towards the sea. What Daedalus didn't know was that he hadn't just escaped from them in terms of their anger, but also by the fact that they couldn't find him at all. Daedalus on the other hand simply continued on the path he had chosen.
Late the next afternoon Daedalus had managed to exit the initial forest he had been in. At the same time he was also looking for a place to stay for the night as he was planning to make himself a few new tools and an armour using the Titan Viper's remains.
unfortunately by the time it was night Daedalus had had to move on as he couldn't find a single place in the nearby vicinity. So he continued on his fast paced journey to the coast.
Over the next four days that it took for Daedalus to reach the coast he had come across and ambushed or been ambushed by some of the large creatures. In this way Daedalus gathered a number of good quality materials, still he couldn't find a place to stay in for a couple nights while he worked on his new tools.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arriving at the coast was both a happy and annoyance to Daedalus. He was planning to make his new tools before arriving but that simply didn't work out. So rather than brooding over the mild annoyance Daedalus walked along the coast side cliffs trying to find a nice outcropping for a house.
It took a week, after travelling for one week Daedalus had been ready to build a new house but, he simply couldn't find a suitable location. So he found a part of the cliff where a part had fallen leaving a rectangular shaped hole. Once he found one he dug into the freshly uncovered earth and stone and began work on his temporary housing.
He wasn't planning to leave a nasty little hole by the time he left though, he was planning to make it a longer lasting shelter for anyone that came by after he left. So to start things off he set up a temporary workshop on top of the cliff above the shelter area. Then he went ahead and began processing one of his more robust woods.
It was also rather common and called ironwood, Daedalus had worked with it before and it was quite useful. Then Daedalus took this processed wood and used it to build a sturdy and tough, but not ugly, platform and railing overviewing the ocean. That alone had taken Daedalus three days to complete, although, two of those days where spent on preparing all the materials for the entire build.
The next four days Daedalus built the interior and exterior walls and ceiling as well as a staircase. Finally Daedalus built a simple forge and general workshop within the shelter and got to work on his new tools. It would be a bit difficult for him at first as he had to make a new hammer almost immediately, much to his annoyance, but Daedalus got to work.
I just learned that my novel is in the recommended section, I don't even know what to say except thanks I guess. I never expected to get so many people interested but this really makes me think I can achieve my dreams.
Hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading this chapter!!!
