Reusririasuir 0 Posted March 3, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Reu entered the Town of Beginnings. It was late, in fact it was well past dark. Reu knew he wouldn't be able to find SAI's still open, and so he traveled to an Inn and found a fellow adventurer to split the cost of a room with. While waiting in the lobby he had heard talk from the front-lines, rumors of the assault teams preparing for a rush on the floor ten boss. Letting out a large sigh, he wished he was with them. He had more catching up to do, he wasn't a hardcore grinder like they were, Reu had to instead move at his own pace...but the warrior in him wanted to catch up and do battle on the front-lines as quickly as possible. With days like the past few however, he wondered if he would ever catch up to them. He continued to listen for rumors of new quests, new items, and stories of who had lost the latest duel; the news was always interesting, and a welcome break from focusing on constant survival in this death game. When morning came, Reu made his way to the blacksmiths shop. It was time to craft his weapon.. Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted March 3, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted March 3, 2015 "Listen SAI, I want to thank you for this!", he yelled over the burning flames of the furnace. To no surprise, SAI was already up and hard at work. The bright young woman didn't seem to mind the heat, or the dirt that covered her dark brown cover-all's. She was working on another clients weapon, but was also talking with Reu, as if she was completely unoccupied. That didn't fool Reu though, she was clearly a very good blacksmith, forging an amazing weapon. Reu couldn't wait to find out what she would forge for him. He had spent the morning recanting his tale to her, she had asked for details, saying it would help her forge a heart into the blade.

I will now forge you a sword which will reflect what you went through. I will forge you a sword, that will reflect your feelings." SAI turned to the furnace, placed in the steel ore. After heating the ore, she removed a burning-hot piece of steel in its' place. She took the steel, and applied a deep covering of the Oak TreeSap, and then returned it to the furnace for further heating. After a few more moments, she removed the steel from the furnace for a final time. Moving the steel to her anvil, she raised her hammer and delivered several loud, clanging bangs. Finally a sword formed, and with it, she applied the now-blackened Maroose carcass to its' handle. Reu, I present to you, Ragnarok Enduring.

"Heey Darts, have I got a story to tell you. Why don't you pour me a drink?" "My best drink?" "Hah, yea Darts.
