look at the body of my still falling cousin, and made sure everyone heared me on this cliff, In a sad voice, filled with grief I said, "Thus he kindly scatter." I know this is wrong but I feel giddy inside doing this. The Poet inside didn't allow me to give up this chance.

Sigh, didn't I tell that it will bite me in the ass earlier? well it did. sort of. I closed the door to Daedalus workshop, and sat down, ahh- what a tiring day. Anyways guess what? Im a criminal at the age 8, If that isn't record breaking , then I don't know what will. sigh Daedalus had to go and get arrested too.
Anyway, apparently Daedalus was feeling heroic for the time being and went to fight the City guards. Joking, but Father 'saved' me from being arrested too. guess I had to thank him for that. sigh life just went from good to Bad real fucking fast, almost broke my neck, keeping up with it. Well if I don't do nothing the guards will come for me too. I have the urge to just fuck it all and slit my throat, But i have to thank Father now don't I?. And well, just want to see the famous greek heroes. Between magic and invention, Magic is the one thing i love the most and good at. Inventions on the other hand is just so-so.
I stand up walking to the work table, anyway I want to build a weapon and not just any weapon, A powerful weapon. My body is underdeveloped and weak compared to the guards, so I have to compensate with a strong weapon. Now what should I build?, I have an outline of the idea, nothing concrete but oh well, lets see if the son of Daedalus can invent something powerful.
Im trying to create a spear, so for the time being, wood is perfect for it, I don't have time to make a steel spear.
I look around the workshop, I don't see any strong wood to make my spear with, sigh.
As I was thinking of abandoning that idea, I see something at corner of my eyes.
Well~ will you look at that. The gods have blessed me — snort, not really—
Well do you the story of how Athens gained the name Athens? or the origin of the big tree in it? well apparently The Lord of the seas and Athena had seen this city as beautiful and wanted to be it's patron, but they're two, and they can't share the city, gods are territorial like that, anyway so when they took their grievance to Zeus, they got a solution to their problem.
Give gift to the citizens of that city, the most loved Gift will be the patron of the city.
Anyway I had not finished reading Greek mythos in my last life , so I don't know some details very well, but what I know is that Poisedon gifted the city with water but it was salt water. Athena gifted the city this big tree that I don't know it's benefits. anyway that's the history to this city.
Anyway I took the Oliver tree branch and boiled it in sea water, when it was hot and malleable I took it out and then placed the hot branch on an Anvil not far away from where I was. with that I took an hammer, hammering it softly so that it will not break. I did this so that It can gain concepts.
I wanted the branch to be straight with no bums or curves. The branch was not very long but it suits me since Im not that tall, my body is literally at the age of 8, so the spear would be at my desired height.
When I finished the branch was straight, and still hot , so I can still manipulate it.
With that done I went to the corner of the workshop, on the floor was a black box, it was sitting on a rune matrix. I took the box and return back to the anvil.
I opened it, immediately when i did so, a great pressure descended in the workshop, If I was not ready for it i would've been knocked out cold. Inside the box was a container full of blood.
Wait~ let me explain, don't label me as a Vampire yet~ Hahaha. no, really I'm not weird or anything like that, kind of, sort of, maybe.
You see Daedalus is blessed by Athena right? yea this is his blood. I extracted it from him two years ago, i wanted to see if a human blessed by the gods will have physical changes in their body or DNA. since I'm daedalus son my blood will be a lot similar to his, so I wanted to experiment a bit. I wanted to experiment when I am older, when I have my own workshop/Lab, but it seems it wasn't meant to be.
Anyway I hope you're dying to know what I wanted to do with my father's blood right?. well to be honest I'm not sure myself, I just thought that it will be kind of cool thing to do to my invention.
Anyway I took a paint brush dip it in the blood, then paint the branch with it, it took me 5 minutes to fully paint the branch over 4 times. Why 4 times? well just in case.
When I finished painting it, it changed colour, Now it has Icy blue colour to it.
I took a deep breath, as I can feel the beginning of exhaustion set in. Now comes the hard part.
I took a small knife then cut my arm with it, as the blood flow out, I took another small container, I waited for a minute as the blood flow into the container.
I never knew why people cut their palms when needing their blood. cutting your palm just limit your hand movements, I find it idiotic to be honest.
The cut was smaller enough that it immediately stop bleeding, I drew an 'Healing' rune on my arm. I watched as the wound disappeared.
I took a small paint brush, about 5cm tall.
Time to engrave some runes on my invention.
With focus and great care I carved the runes
'Videre' ' Super' 'Omnis' . The runes Are in Latin. why Latin you may ask? well I don't know but I have a theory on this. anyway I wrote Two rune matrixes. The first one is to absorb the mana I feed it and strengthen the branch , and release it on my command.
The other one? well that's a secret for now.
When I finish my runes I went to the work table, the was a box there with metal parts. I took a metal sharp spear head, I took the branch and screw in the metal spear head and made sure it won't come off, I sealed it with Runes for just in case.
When I tried moving the spear I found it a bit unbalanced. I sighed heavily, I when back to the box and took two Bracelet-like metal bands and install one of them on the spear tail and another one at the middle of the spear.
I tried it again, it is balanced now, but a bit heavy. But nothing I can't handle. I took it as a blessing because if I'm going to reinforce it with my magic it will pack quite a punch.

Whe- "Come here! I found one of the anchors of this boundfield!"
Shit, they're already here. and it seems they will find me in few minutes if I doesn't move.
I immediately rush back in the house and took my back pack and cloak, I filled the bag with necessary things like bottles of water and rations. I rushed back in the workshop and took a few books on magic and inventions.
