Many years since passed the defeat of Cassandra and her armies, the Dark Wizard’s army were dormant for many months.
Daniel would be instructed to visit a school and teach them combat, the kids were very joyful to see the king as he greeted him.
“Hello class, my name is King David Silver.”
He spoke.
The entire class greeted him except for William, who was still shaken up for what happened in the war.
Daniel directed them all onto a combat circle and instructed for them all to take a seat.
“Now, can you all tell me what are your spells?”
Daniel would question.
Many answered with the usual of fire, earth, and water.
“Very good, powerful indeed. My wife and I will show you a demonstration of combat.”
Daniel said.
His wife Elizabeth walked onto the dueling circle and posed in a fighting stance.
The two would fire many blasts, of both Fire and Water, all of which evaporated on contact or they would dodge it. They would eventually stop fighting and ask them a question.
“Now, you’ve all read about that happened during the war, how was i knocked out?”
Daniel would answer the kids.
“With a sneak attack!”
They all giggled as Daniel smiled.
“Now we’ll duel again, this time, with more sneaky attacks.”
Daniel would wink at Elizbeth, indicated that she would perform the trick.
Daniel would fire a slow fire blast as her, she would evade it and quickly blast a water beam at him sending him flying backwards and landing on his back.
“Performing attacks like these will both injury, and exhaust them, its good for ending prolonged battles.”
Daniel would inform them.
“Now, we want two volunteers.”
Daniel would ask the kids.
All would lift their hands up, and most surprisingly William would participate.
“William Ketch and Tiffany Salore.”
Daniel would say their names as they both went on.
Many kids would pull a disgusted look at William as he pasted by, knowing that his cousin, Icarus helped corrupt Cassandra, and destroyed Summerhold.
The two teenagers would pose in their battle stances, and began to duel.
“Snow blast!”
William shouted as a quick ball of snow dashed towards her.
She would be unable to block it, sending her flying backwards.
“Arugh!”
She yelled in anger.
“Paper Magic!”
She yelled as a piece of paper got blocked by William as he sent another snow blast, knocking her out of the circle.
A huge bell could be heard indicating Recess.
“Class dismissed.”
Daniel calmly informed them all as they raced away.
Daniel and his Elizabeth were together in the crowd watching them. Daniel would look pretty sad as he saw a kid using his wind powers, reminding him of Luciano.
“Hey, its alright.”
Elizabeth hugged Daniel.
“I’m going to get some water for the both of us.”
She said as she looked for a bottle.
A man with light blue hair, wearing a red overcoat snuck behind Daniel.
“Hey, you’re the new teacher, I’ve always wanted to see the King partake in activates, how amazing.”
The man would put his arm around his neck.
“But i guessed Cassandra never improved…or ever will.”
The man begin to place his hand over Daniel’s throat.
“I wished her injuries won’t already killing her…now i must partake in her own teaching…”
The man spoke as he revealed himself.
“S- Spencer Cutlass!”
Daniel would imagine himself in his head.
“Before you run away, I must talk to you about something, heck if you try i will just dissolve your neck in front of all of these children.”
Spencer plead with him.
Daniel would grip his first into a ball, wanting to ignite it before punching him over the Summerhold walls, but it was too risky.
“…What do you want?”
Daniel’s fist loosened as he opened his ears.
“You know about Icarus Ketch…do you?”
Spencer asked.
“Obviously.”
Daniel replied.
“Cut the attitude, I’m the one teaching here.”
Spencer would tighten his grip.
“Do you honestly think, that a weak, boy like you could defeat him?”
Spencer said.
“There’s no way, i saw his ashes fly into the nightsky-”
Daniel would be interrupted.
“Life magic is capable of many things, do not worry though, He isn’t truly alive…yet.”
Spencer relieved the stress from Daniel.
“However…the Minotaur would beg to differ, and heck, i plan on bringing him back here as a Wraith, being even stronger than before.”
Spencer imagined.
“We will defeat him again, you wret-”
Daniel would try insulting but would be cut off as a small droplet of purple acid seeped down his throat.
“Oops, don’t struggle now, painful yes, but it would burn even more.”
Spencer laughed as Daniel coughed.
“…You’re right, i could imagine YOU would defeat him. However just imagine that if that were to change…if you were out of the main picture?!”
Spencer said as he began laughing as his arms glowed purple.
But before he could assassinate the king, Elizabeth would return and spot this.
“Hey, get your hands off the king.”
She roared at him.
“Oops, my apologies, i didn’t know he had company, i will be going now.”
Spencer manipulated Elizabeth.
“Try following me and I will kill you.”
Spencer whispered before walking away.
“Who was that?”
Elizabeth said.
“Nothing.”
He said as he held onto his throat.
“However…i do not think Icarus…ever died!”
Daniel would conclude.
