As he had an hour of preparation before the match started Daedalus decided to meditate and correct his state of mind . So that's what he did, sitting on a bench meditating Daedalus waited to be told that the fight would be starting . Just as the hour finished Daedalus heard a knock at the door to the room he was seated in .

Standing up Daedalus prepared Icarus before walking out . The employee of the arena who had come to get him looked dumbfounded as Daedalus walked out . They couldn't help but think he looked similar to someone he saw in the past, but that was impossible .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A short walk later Daedalus was stood before a gate that when he was supposed to enter would be opened dramatically for him . And that's what it did, as the announcer on the other side of the door spoke his name, or rather the Swordsman, the gates creaked open in a dramatic fas.h.i.+on .

The crowd looked awed at the sight of the Swordsman . It was well known that he wouldn't show himself in public unless he wanted to, which was almost never . Ignoring the numerous gazes trained on him Daedalus walked into the arena and stood quietly waiting for the announcer to call in the king .

Luckily Daedalus didn't have to wait long as the announcer immediately called the king in as soon as the crowds quietened down slightly . This time the doors opened in a most indescribable manner . The king Kicked the door down because it was going to slowly .

The mighty kick caused the crowds in the stadium to become silent, until a huge appluase and cheering broke the silence . Daedalus had to admit the man had some ability when it came to bringing positive attention, even if by accident .

After the appluase died down the announcer announced the start of the fight . As soon as he heard the word start Daedalus dashed forward in a lunge . The king somehow managed to dodge the attack, causing Daedalus to be impressed .

After dodging Daedalus' attack the king immediately swung his sword at Daedalus . As the swing ended, to Daedalus suprise a formless energy came out of where the sword tip had previously pa.s.sed . As the energy blade came at him Daedalus realised that the king was trying to make him jump to avoid the attack .

Daedalus of course didn't jump but rather f.u.c.ked before launching himself even closer to the king . As he did this Daedalus did an over head slash . As the king tried to block it however Daedalus twisted his body slightly causing the blade to turn into a slash from the right .

The king was amazed at seeing this display of skill but moved back just enough to dodge the blade . Less than a second after the sword barely missed him, a faint blue energy formed and flew at near imperceptible speeds towards the king .

The king was shocked to see this but managed to dodge out of the way, at least mostly . As the energy blade pa.s.sed by a gash formed on his right side .
