The Craftsman 276 Ques

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 n.o.ble family quest on the side. Daedalus quickly thought back to the book he had read on n.o.ble houses and judged that it was most likely the Torothine n.o.ble family.

The Torothine n.o.ble family was said to be the family of a cherished general of the empress and that is why they where deemed a n.o.ble family. Recently however the family had split into two factions, one of laziness and greed and the other of true n.o.bility 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 n.o.bility 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.
