| "Oh, hey I'm just training!" She said, completely ignoring the fact she just killed someone and disposed of the body. She just kept swinging flipping and other maneuvers trying to get used to the weight change, it didn't cause much change as the balance was there but it made jumps go at a differnt height... |
 |
| "I can see that" Tilly says and sits on top of the wooden crate that is lying behind the house |
| "Watch this!" She set her scythe down for a second then ran at a wall, when she reached it she ran up it like in those old kung-fu movies. She then backfliped off landing on her feet next to her scythe. "I can finally do it, I tried like a thousond times before I could do it." She grabs her scythe and tries again landing on her but, I just can't get enough speed she went back to her normal kicks and flips, slipping once when she miss gauged the landing position due to the weight it's like learning to fight again... |
|
| "Nice, just don't run yourself out, there is still lot to do today" Tilly says |
| Rubbing her but she stood up putting her scythe away. She layed on the grass smiling as she watched the clouds for once I have someone other the. My sister and lit who cares about me. I hope unlike lit, no one kills her she has my last bit of humanity... |
|
| "So, what do you think about smithing from what you've seen and experienced so far?" Tilly asks curiously |
| "It's like being an assassin you have to practice and use your hands. Skill comes with time. Also I think I'm enjoying it so far, I love the feeling of when I get a good sharpening done I feel pride." She said happily. I hope I ain't rambling.., |
|
| Tilly gives a giggle "Yes, i remember that feeling very well, i can tell you, it just gets better" she says, satisfied with her answer |
| "Sweet, I guess I will be very happy!" She said smiling inwardly, I can't believe how lucky I am... |
|
| Tilly gets up and claps her hands together "Alright, i think it's time to get back to work" she says |
| "Yes ma'am" she said following her back into the forge. She was starting to love the beat of the forge. I could live here like this |
|
| As they get back in, Tilly gets something from storage and puts it to melt "I wont keep you full day today, since it's your first day, you'll do shorter days for couple weeks to just get used to things" Tilly says |
| "Yes ma'am, what do you want me to do now?" She said. Moving inside and watching her start to melt. |
|
| "Now we wait for the metal to melt, for the rest of the day you pretty much watch and learn, this will be your first smithing and metallurgy lesson" Tilly says while leaning against a wall, waiting for the metal to melt |
| She didn't say anything as she watched and waited, it was interesting to watch and she was learning even if it wasn't what would be expected from the outside. |
|
| Tilly gets a mold for axe handle from the storage and sets it on the table "So let's start with this one, this here is a mold, this one is for basic axe handle, i create the handle in this and shape it to my liking afterwards" Tilly explains as the metal is almost ready |
| "So it's the base of your build?, can you do it without a mold," she asked. Since she was new to forging she didn't know. |
|
| Tilly nods "Yes, i can do it without a mold and i used to do all the handles without mold before i got the molds" she says "When we get to real smithing, i will teach you to make handles without mold" she adds |
| "Cool. So you just poor the metal in and then let it sit right?" She asked, it seemed obvious but you could never be sure... |
|
| Tilly nods "Excatly" she says and sets the mold so that the metal can be poured in it, she then gets the metal and pours it into the mold |
| "That's simple, there isn't a catch? Like it'll crack or break when it cools?" She asked, it just seemed so easy to forge then, why would that be? |
|
| "There is a latch to open the mold when the metal has set" Tilly says pointing at the latches |
| "So there is no catch when you use a mold?" She asked trying to figure that out... |
|
| Tilly shakes her head "No catch" she says while waiting |
| "Wow, that must really speed things up then, I feel like anyone can do that, well I probally couldn't, I'd burn myself..." She said looking at the molten metal that was being poured into a mold. It was the color of pure fire, and it caused her to loose focus on what she was thinking. It was in one word magnificent. |
|
| Tilly gives a giggle "Well you propably end up burning yourself many times, that's just part of the learning process" she says while waiting for the metal to set and cool |
| "Hehe, maybe when I'm really good I can make my own scythe, instead of the one I love." She said, if she made her own she would have a few modifications, she would make it about 3 inches shorter, and would have a cable that could be used to swing the blade with distance. Maybe even make it easier to grip, as every swing I do I have to adjust my hands so I don't drop it or lose speed, that's the only reason I can pull off super complex maneuvers... |
|
| "Well it's good to hear you have something you want to make already, maybe we start your training with scythes then, they are easy to make afterall" Tilly says with smile |
| "Really!!" She exclaimed happily runing over to tilly and grabbing her hand. "Thank you!!!" She said jumping up and down. |
|
| "Yes yes, calm down will ya? it's dangerous to get so hyper in forge" Tilly says happy about her reaction |
| "Yes ma'am." She said saluting her in a mock salute. She just sat there smiling waiting for her next instructions. She felt a small sweat though, the room was hotter then she was used to. |
|
| (oh and the room will get hotter later on :P) Tilly opens the mold and picks up the handle that was still a bit warm. She lays it on the table and leaves it there "I'll get back to the handle after i'm done with the axe head" she says and picks up the axe head, starting to design the decorations to it |
| Leafz just watched, she went over to the handle and poked it with her finger, it was still warm, it burnt her, not bad enough to warrant a noise but it did hurt. He stepped back hoping that tilly didn't see that... She might have gotten mad. |
|
| After getting the design done Tilly shows it to Leafz, "what do you think?" she asks |
| "it looks amzing" she said eyes sparkling in wonder. she got lost in the buety of it. |
|
| "I usually don't put this much effort on weapons but this axe is special, so i'm pretty much pouring all my skills into it, that's why you're only watching and learning" Tilly says |
| " I love it... I could warch this every day." she said looking in awe, she dug her toes into the ground to keep from jumping. |
|
| "Well when we get to smithing, i gotta say, the watching wont bring you satisfaction after that, with me, you'll pretty soon make steel weapons on your own, but any metal from there is like starting the training from the beginning, every metal behaves differently and has different needs to bend to your will, it's magical feeling when you get to it, you're going to experience that feeling many times in the future" Tilly explains as she starts to carve the design to the axe head |
| "So being a blacksmith is like being a magician like in those legends?" She asked wide eyed. I get to be a magician she couldn't stop herself from jumping up and down, noting how cool the floor was she lied down and watched tilly, absorbing every peice of information she could glean. |
|
| "No, it's not like being magician, it's just magical feeling, nothing feels better than learning how to handle new metal and mastering the handle of that metal" Tilly explains |
| "I don't understand, if it's magical then a magician does it. If it's mundane a regular person does it. If handling mettles feels magical then blacksmiths have to be magicians of metal!" She said proud of we train of thought. To get it made sense and to some it would aswell. But would tilly? |
|
| Tilly sighs "No it has nothing to do with magic, the feeling is just overwhelming okay, could you please calm down, i'm trying to focus on the carving" she says |
| "Yes ma'am" she said laying on the cool floor, feeling at home. this is just perfect I can have a home and a job, I won't have to kill every day, maybe once a week but I could do that. And I get to learn something that is magical but isn't magical... I'm in heaven. she looked at the ceiling, wisting for the carvings to be done. She already got everything she wanted from watching. |
|
| After a long while of silence Tilly blows off the last metal crumbs from the axe head and picks it up to check it through, she nods to herself as an approval and shows it to Leafz "It's done" she says |
| "Yay, that means you need to do the handle then put them together right?" She said, she was sure that was all that was left. A sudden flickering in the shadows of the room caught her eye, she wasn't sure but she thought it may have been a person. For now she decided to ignore it. Looking over at the axe head her jaw dropped in amazement. I will be making those one day... |
|
| "Yes, that is excatly what it means, i just have to make the handle an put it together and sharpen it" Tilly says as she puts down the axe head |
| "Cool, I have to use the out house where is it?" She asked, she really didn't but she needed to check something. She got up after saying that and did a potty dance to prove her point. [i] If it is two in one day... I'm going to be pissed...[i] she noticed a flicker again this time she knew it was a person. |
|
| "ten meters to the right from outdoor" Tilly says as she starts working on the handle |
| Leafz walks out of the house and stands next to the out house, the cool grass holding her feet, and gently cushioning them, all that was left were the shadows to show up. She heard more then saw them, "we are here to kill you, for killing indiscriminately and doing any job, it is time for you to repent, die fowl beast!" The men shouted in unison before three of them dropped dead from her scythe. "If you want to kill me then atleast try harder." She said how am I going to hide this?, if I finish fast enough I can hide the bodies? she swung her scythe again killing three more, by her count there should be 3 or 4 left, all out of her range right then. She walked out were she would be open and stood there. " kill me if you can." She said as three more rushed her, they where more skilled but not good enough to scratch her, as all she ever did was train for a long time. Then the fourth one came, he was silent and had a koseph. "Is yours poisoned? If so then come later when it isn't, I don't belive that an assassin should be killed by a poison it's kinda dissgracefull in my oppoinon she said waiting for him to move or make a response. |
|
| Tilly was just working on the axe handle not paying attention on time at all |
