Daedalus had once read about a state of mind that was able to supposedly allow a greater control of all energies and the body as well. It was said to have come from an ancient being known only as a Buddhist or monk, it was called inner peace. Daedalus was seeing if he himself could tap into that state, if only to prove its existence.
He breathed calmly and steadily in with the movement of the water, and calmly out with the wind. He continued this in a trance like state where he felt the world around him breath within him. Unknowingly Daedalus had achieved a state of nothingness and calm that could only be described as legendary or unheard of.
After five days of being in that state Daedalus awoke to a feeling of calm and peacefulness. With that feeling came one thought 'So it does exist.'
As he stood back up from his days long meditation Daedalus felt his bones pop. After a quick round of stretching Daedalus realised that it had likely been a few days, however he wasn't hungry. He also felt that sense of peacefulness within him just rotating calmly within his dantian.
He was confused for a second but quickly came to a realisation, it was as if his Qi had taken on the properties of both Yin and Yang. It was impossible but he achieved it, he achieved the impossible. With that revelation Daedalus thought back to the book he read about the Buddhist, it had said something like 'Inner peace can cause a semi fusion of Yin and Yang within the dantian.' This was the reason he had wanted to try it however what he had achieved was not a mere semi fusion it was a complete combination of Yin and Yang.
After coming to this conclusion Daedalus thought about why and how it could have happened. In the end he could only imagine it was because of his equal and high talent in both Yin and Yang.
With that conclusion made Daedalus calmed down and began practicing with Icarus. In the first few strings Daedalus felt a strange feeling, as if the world was speaking to him and every time he stopped swinging his sword it would disappear. With that thought Daedalus danced with Icarus in a natural sword dance as if he was being guided by the wind and soft falling rain. If anyone could see they would probably feel a sense of peace and beauty as they watched the sword dance that was being performed.
And in fact two people where watching and they had been watching since the start. They both knew what was happening, Daedalus had gained an enlightenment in the sword and with each graceful swing his understanding became more exquisite than the swing before.
