In a quiet room by the large and bright windows, Daedalus could be seen relaxing while he read a book . Beside him was Andromeda, who was laying against his shoulder while occasionally sighing . Daedalus had already told her that he would be leaving the next day which is the cause of her sighing .
About an hour later the sun finally began to set behind the horizon and Daedalus sighed softly for a moment . He and Andromeda simply sat there watching as the sun slowly set . It was kind of symbolic, in a way that Daedalus would likely be gone for a while to complete his journey .

The next morning Daedalus woke up to see the sun peeking up from the horizon . It seemed as if he had fallen asleep in the living room . Checking quickly Daedalus realised that Andromeda was still asleep against his chest . She had likely done this so that Daedalus wouldn't be able to leave before waking her up .
So that's exactly what he did, he began to tickle her . A moment later and Andromeda could be seen giggling while swatting at his hands . After that Daedalus hugged her and said "I have to go now . "
"Do you have to?" She asked sadly . Daedalus could only sigh before replying "You could always come with me but the kids need you here . Don't worry when I come back I will take them off your back . "

Before long Daedalus could be seen holding Icarus while saying "Get ready, this will be an especially long journey for you . "
Walking out of the courtyard Daedalus didn't look back, he knew if he did that he would likely return . Andromeda seeing this still took time to wave, while doing so she offered him a prayer to stay safe . She could still be seen standing there until around noon that day .

Daedalus sighed, he was feeling regret for having made the capital so large . Even with his enormous speed Daedalus took more than six hours to get out of the capital . At least he knew that any stupid enough invading force would be tired before they even reached the palace .
After taking a short rest Daedalus finally left the empire's capital . And so Daedalus began his journey towards one of the unconquered regions . Though he knew it would take him months by foot he felt it was the best way to do it .
Along the way Daedalus met and defeated any and all bandits along his path . Occasionally he came across a guild hall and handed in the heads . The way he killed the bandits was what was interesting though, he would lower his cultivation to just below their level and use only his swordsmanship against them .
