Chapter 4: General Artemis

It's been a while since I had felt like this. Things became to slow down and sometimes to a crawl. A big change is coming, wether or not I'm going to survive it, is up in the air.

I was a military general in my last life, I served for ten years. as such when my instincts came on blaring I knew that shit is about to hit the fan. it made me tense these past few hours to be honest, Apollo was still beginning to rise, it made me wonder what made my instincts turn on like that, are we being Attacked? no, that's not it, anyone who attacks the famous - or is it infamous?- Daedalus will have one head short before they knew what's going on.

It's not that he had a powerful bodyguard or something, it's just that Our bloodline came from the king of Athens as such we can be considered some sort of Royalty. Not that daedalus care for such thing.

Anyway I digress.

I know that shit is about to go down any minutes now. still, I still go on practicing my spear arts, no need worrying about something that will happen at some point, in short? stop worrying about the future it's unpredictable and full of limitless possibilities. I was still tense nonetheless.

I sigh as I finish the last stance of my spear Arts —more like the basics—Blowing a sigh of exhaustion I shift my attention towards my father who seems to be on the rush entering the yard, he had been yelling for the past minutes, He had gone to the shopping district in Athens to get some material for his invention.' sigh, what does he want now?'. his face is set in an unusual expression ,if I didn't know any better I would've thought someone took Daedalus and replaced him with a clone, unfortunately I knew better. He had been getting aggravated over the past few days, always rambling about my cousin 'Stealing ' his work.

"Father?" Seeing the madness all over his face made me sigh again, I'm telling you I'll die of stress before dying in the sea when I'm trying to fly close to the sun. *snort* as if I'll allow myself to die of something that silly. anyway I already knew someone wounded his pride if his like this, Poor sod is going to suffer if Daedalus got him.

I watched as Daedalus was about to speak, his attention shifted towards the spear I was leaning onto, his expression seems to darken looking at it. He opened his mouth to speak before looking on my face, I don't know what sort of expression I have but it made him hesitate before closing his mouth with a click, a sour expression immediately took over on his face as if eating a lemon as dinner.

...I smiled. it was not a nice smile as his face seems to be pale.

But it only lasted a moment as his face go back to the madden look he came wearing. It me worried about his mental health for a second.

"Ahh Icarus. come with me! I heared that the spawn of my sister seems to made some ' genius' invention" He mocked face halfway Amused , and steaming with rage. "He dare have the arrogance to try and surpass me? Daedalus the Greatest mortal inventor?"

I sigh, again, what I did I tell you? wounded pride. Haaah these days I have the thing to talk to myself, not some healthy shit, I know, but loneliness can do that to a person. Ahh he's still ranting about his nonsense.

"Come, we must see this ' genius' invention ourselves" Voice full of rage and murderous intent. I have met this 'spawn' of his sister in my years here, he's a cool guy to be honest.

"sigh, Why don't you calm down first?" I said, seriously this guy be leaking Bloodlust everywhere, I'm sure he's unaware of it himself, must been the madness he's submerged in. I drop my wooden spear on the ground.

"Calm down!? , this bastard insulted me!" Daedulus said, voice still dripping venom.

"What if the people of Athens likes his invention more than yours?" I questioned, I already knew the answer. As if my words were a trigger the madness in his eyes seems to multiple, the Bloodlust around him getting heavier by the second.

As if he was a demon, Daedalus said in a sweet, low voice as if speaking his greatest secret

"...Then I'll Kill him" I flinched back in suprise, this guy was willing to kill my cousin, how crazy is that!?

For a moment silence spread around the courtyard. then I sighed , this is getting serious. "Father, why don't you calm down?." my voice stern, my blue eyes glowing green. yeah.. no, this is getting things too far.

Normally I will ignore him when his sudden shift in personalities happen, letting him live inside his illusions but we're going somewhere were there's going to be people, can't let him going around like a loose cannon.

"sorry..." Said Daedalus as he laughed nervously. bowing his head in shame, he stared at his hand, clenching them into fist, he seems aware of his sudden change. He never told me what's the cause of it, and I never asked, if he want to keep it secret then so be it.

"Thank you" he said. I sighed, it seems his sudden shift in personalities is a big thing to him, Daedalus never thanked me in anything, maybe the fault lie in me as I never interacted with my father - not too often -, his personality clash with mine. but what can I say? his my father, his Family. If there's one thing I take seriously in the world is Family.

I sigh, What a Payless job I have, I smile warly.

"Let's go." I said as I give father my left hand, he took a hold of it as we walk. I didn't forget about the wrongness in the air though.

And certainly I didn't forget why my instincts came full blast like that.

I'm sure something Life-changing will happen.
