บท 320: Unfortunate Series of Events

For the next month and a half Daedalus experienced a series of unfortunate events. The first was something, one of the stronger beasts had come across his path and attacked him. It was a Gargantuan Ant-fly, a large ant with wings.

The only way he had been able to escape was by jumping into the ocean. That didn't turn out well though as he was attacked by a Sea Tiger. A tiger with flippers rather than legs, and it was fast.

Daedalus didn't escape the Sea Tiger without injury though. As he had gotten out of the water the Sea Tiger had jumped and managed to rip his foot off. As it turns out having the now stump of your leg shoved into sand was not comfortable.

Luckily it had fallen back into the water so Daedalus hobbled his way up the side of a cliff. At this point he pulled out his canteen so that he could clean his wound and found that it was empty.

So for the next week Daedalus continued his search for a new house with the lacking of a foot. By some luck he had also found a few healing type plants and managed to get the wound clean and sealed up. After that he had fashioned himself a wooden foot to be able to use until he got back to the elven kingdom, where it could be healed.

Then over the rest of the month Daedalus had managed to lose his wooden foot twelve times. He had also been attacked by a pack of wild wind thunder wolves, they where very loud, and a tree spider. Honestly the tree spider was by far the most terrifying thing, Daedalus had decided to settle in a clearing for the night and it had turned out to be a spider.

Eventually though by the end of the month and a half Daedalus had found a place to settle for the rest of his time there. It was a cove, with a cave big enough to build in. The surroundings where a lush green and dark brown.

What really brought the atmosphere though was that the cove was surrounded by mountains and the cave was the only other exit than the ocean. There was also a few small ponds filled with seemingly normal fish, and one that was completely empty.

The first thing Daedalus did was to take a bath in the empty pond. As Daedalus relaxed in that pond he felt as though his body had been revitalised. Eventually though he got to work.

The first thing he did was find a nice spot then he spent a couple days planning out how he would build everything. When he was happy with the designs he setup a simple workshop and processed all of the different and necessary resources.

By the time a month had passed since he got there Daedalus had finished building his house. Then he began practicing and hunting. Everyday he would go out of the cove and hunt one strong beast, sometimes he even hunted in the ocean.
