Ceridwen had been correct with her previous statement. Daedalus had indeed forgotten about his food until the next day. In the meantime however Daedalus had been busy.------------------------------------------------------------------------
After borrowing Metal Daedalus had taken him away towards a volcano Daedalus had found after reading a map. The volcano was quite large at about fifteen thousand metres tall, or about half of the height of the one where Ultraun lived.
After making his way to the top of this volcano Daedalus who was still carrying the flailing Metal, landed on an obsidian island in the center of the caldera. Metal, who was clearly very attuned to the element of metal, had almost immediately started melting.
Due to his suprise at the sudden melting of his new toy Daedalus became slightly annoyed. Though mainly at the screams. So to deal with the issue Daedalus gathered up the molten dwarf and flew out of the volcano.

A few hours later the dwarf had reformed even while deathly unconscious. Daedalus had of course used this chance to observe how this had been done. It looked as though Metal"s body was made out of a denser material like metal except that he could mold it consciously and unconsciously. Unconsciously was mostly in reference to the healing ability.
Eventually Metal woke up again and started shouting at Daedalus while calling him a slave and such. It was a real bother, so Daedalus removed his voice box. Now this wasn"t done in one swift motion, no the was done in three which resulted in only his voice box being removed.
This shut Metal up without much issue other than Metal gurgling on what seemed to be a metallic liquid while clutching at his throat. This didn"t last for long as the damage healed quickly, perks of a The Path stage cultivator, but the trauma remained.
This time rather than insult and try to attack Metal instead tried to run away. However as a being made out of metal he was equally as slow as his density. Thus Daedalus easily caught him and threw him against a cliff side.
As Metal fell below the cliffs edge Daedalus looked down and smiled a little when Metal landed chest up on a sharp pillar of stone. This of course didn"t kill Metal and as Daedalus had been suspecting, there where several cores throughout his body that where keeping everything together.
It was an interesting idea and Daedalus made sure to note how it worked in every way possible over the hours he spent playing with his toy. Eventually Daedalus managed to locate what he had been looking for though. It was a core surrounded by a ring, most likely a spatial ring.
When he finally got to this Metal had become nothing more than a self regenerating test dummy. Daedalus then took a moment to observe the ring, deciding that it was a rather cheap one, at least in his mind.
After that Daedalus erased Metals blood binding from the ring, his caused Metal to jolt and spit a mouthful of blood before returning to stillness. With the ring unbound Daedalus quickly claimed it and searched through it.
The weak spatial ring was filled with numerous rare ores and alloys as well as a number of books detailing how to cultivate the element of metal. It was then that Daedalus noticed the diary.
