Although Daedalus had a feeling he was expected he was more so surprised at how smooth it went. It wasn't long after he walked through the manor gates that Daedalus had been sat on a sofa in front of the waiting lord.
As soon as Daedalus saw that they where the only two in the room he took off the face mask and said "It is nice to meet you, lord..."
The lord immediately spoke saying "Periveal."
Daedalus nodded and continued "It is nice to meet you, lord Periveal. I assumed that you where expecting me but your people where more efficient than I imagined, can I ask how?"
Lord Periveal nodded and said "We where keeping an eye on the cities entrance so we saw you get here, we where prepared for if you came here immediately however it took a while longer so I took the initiative to make your entrance a bit smoother."
Daedalus nodded and said "Very well done then. Now, I will be honest I don't really have much to talk about I was just planning to introduce myself, either way I will be coming back in the near future with my true identity. I will send a letter in advance with the details but I want to make an entrance."
The lord understood what Daedalus was saying and said "Well it was wonderful to meet you, your highness."
Daedalus nodded and gave his goodbye before leaving the room and heading out of the manor. Back with the lord however he said to himself "He is truly quite an interesting man I hope he becomes something more, I couldn't even read his current strength."

As Daedalus made his way back into the city he thought and explored the city before eventually deciding to go to the guild hall and get a quest that required that he travel to the capital. It didn't take long for Daedalus to find his way to the guild hall and so after a short walk Daedalus walked inside, still in his Swordsman armour.
As Daedalus walked in half of the people inside looked at him. Daedalus had become rather well known so it was really only to be expected. Disregarding the fact that almost everyone was looking at him Daedalus walked up to the quest board and began to look for a suitable quest.
It wasn't long after that that Daedalus found a quest that he thought was good enough and so he walked to the desk just beside the quest board. The young woman at the desk immediately spoke as Daedalus walked over saying "What quest have you chosen?"
Daedalus simply put the quest paper onto the desk and slid it over before waiting. The young woman took a moment to look over the paper and put the quest into her log book. When she was done she closed the book and said "Mister Swordsman, you have accepted the caravan defense quest to the capital from the floating city of Auroroth."

On the edge of the sky island the Swordsman could be seen looking at the horizon. He had been told to meet the caravan at nightfall however as it would be his last night there for at least a while he decided to enjoy the setting sun.
As the sun slowly set the glow of daylight faded from blue to reds and eventually into purples and blacks. When the time was around ten in the evening Daedalus took notice of a single carriage with a noble family quest on the side. Daedalus quickly thought back to the book he had read on noble houses and judged that it was most likely the Torothine noble family.
The Torothine noble family was said to be the family of a cherished general of the empress and that is why they where deemed a noble family. Recently however the family had split into two factions, one of laziness and greed and the other of true nobility and honour. Most unfortunately the greedy faction used underhanded methods to kill off two of the most influential people of the honourable faction and took control.
Daedalus had felt disappointed when he read of this and was now hoping that it wouldn't be someone from the backstabbing faction. As these thoughts went through his head the carriage pulled up next to him and the driver stood before looking at Daedalus. Daedalus turned to look at the man and nodded, this was the signal he had been given to make sure they knew it was him, not to mention he didn't want to talk too much.
The man bowed to Daedalus and sat on the driver's seat once more. Daedalus also sat with the man and didn't say anything, he knew that nobility would usually not invite an adventurer inside the carriage unless they where a well know or extremely powerful adventurer. He had read about this in a book called The Basic Manners Of Adventurers, it was a handy book.
As soon as Daedalus had sat down the driver whispered to the horses which got them started. This made Daedalus understand that he was a wood elf, this was because wood elves have a high affinity for animals and that and the animals have a degree of understanding.
The horses inched forward for a moment before picking up speed and sprouting wings. The carriage was of course specially made so that it would stay stable so Daedalus wasn't bothered in the slightest, and he had also done this before so although it was cool to him he didn't let it show.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a couple days since they left the floating island and as they had flying horses or pegasi, the journey was smooth and fast. That of course ended during the first attack, it just wasn't normal. A monstrosity emerged from the forest and instantly killed one of the pegasi before Daedalus could act. He was far to shocked as the chimera that attacked them was clearly sentient made.
Chimeras where both a natural and synthetic creature as the first chimera was created by a powerful wizard. However this thing was an amalgamation of hundreds of animals each tooth that Daedalus could see was from a different creature and it howled as though it was in constant pain. Luckily for the chimera the fight didn't last long as although it was a bit terrifying Daedalus found it to be incredibly weak.
I noticed that my chapter quality was taking a nosedive so I want to know how you compare this one with the previous chapters.
I hope you enjoyed thanks for reading this chapter!!!
