However, just as his father had warned Icarus, the heat of the sun slowly started melting the wax that was keeping Icarus and his wings connected. Whenever he went higher and higher, the wax started melting quicker and quicker. As a result of this, Icarus' wings became detached from his shoulders, meaning he had no wings anymore. With no wings, he started falling at a rate so fast that even his father could no longer save him. Now, imagine if you were falling to your death. You would be screaming, crying, and praying, right? Well, instead, Icarus threw his head back and started laughing, his teeth baring the world. He had done it. He had flown. He had landed into the deep depths of the sea, where no one could save him. And during all of this, Daedalus watched in horror, knowing another one of his beloved was dying right in front of him. That escalated quickly. After this tragic event, Daedalus continued traveling west in despair to a new city. But once he arrived, he never, ever built a machine as great as the Labyrinth ever again. Well, dear listeners, that is it, the story of Daedalus and his son, Icarus. However, before we end this episode, Sumiha, do you mind telling me what the moral of this tragic tale is?
