Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Sakon took the Mold hthat he had been handed and took it over to the boiling pot poured scalding hot metal in it then clamped it down tight so it could set for a little. Two minutes had passed by Sakon immadietly released the clamps grabbed five base molded Shurikenand pounded them each ever so slight ly before chilling and reheating them for minor Adjustments this prossess continued until until the first few were done. Then the real work began. He continued to Rapidly do this same process but the more he did this his pace grew faster and faster but before long there were six dozen pitch black Shuriken laying on the counter waiting to see if he had done this right*
"well.........."

Shinji came in with a bundle of wood in his hands. It wasn't chopped, but they were branches, snapped with a general thichness of about an inch to an inch and a half. He grabbed a hack saw to cut the main part of the tree he had dragged back. The logs he cut would be a foot and a half long, a good size he thought, for a forge. After the ten-20 minutes it took to get the sections, he placed the hacksaw back and grabbed a wood cutting axe, and got to splitting.

The man showed Sakon how to wrap the sharp handle of a kunai with thin and sturdy leather to protect the hand. As Sakon was a ninja, he knew where all the equipment went in the belts and sheaths, and so he went about the task of assembling.

Manndar wanted durability and he got it in the form of a special wooden handle of five feet in length. The wood used came from a shipment given to him by Azure's Crying Eye Runic Hunters as one of the many tributes to get him to work for the village. The wood came from a magical forest that was leveled by the Hunters. The smith didn't mind where the wood came from because forests seemed to be growing all over Gaia faster then they can be logged.

The staff was pushed into the hot metal liquid inside the mold and left to cool.

The sun was setting.

"Ye should go home fer today."

Shinji came in a few minuites after Sakon had left, finally finishing with his chore. "Sorry It took a while... I didn't feel a ny need to rush to finish." He explained. Under each arm was a good amount of wood, and trailing behind him, punctured by silk threads, were the rest of the logs. He placed them on the stack, then waited for the next task. "Shall I leave or is there something else you need?"

Naxt Day Sakon walks in bright and early ready to start the new day

Shinji had taken out a sheet and recorded whatever was inscribed into the hammer. Later on, he'd have to go through some books to figure out what each symbol did on it's own, then try to find additional information. For now, there was little to do but watch and learn. As soon as the demo had been finished, shinji got to work on trying to make a horseshoe. The first attempt came out strange, so he melted it back down and tried again. The seccond one would be sellable at bargain price, but for now, it was okay for an early attempt. Unfortunately, by the time he finished, a couple hours had passed, one for the first, one for the seccond.

The forgemaster took the blade from Aona and took a long look. He swiped the sword through once and then traced it around in the air, sighted along the blade, and felt the weight of it.

"Yes, this blade 'ill do."

He placed it on a shelf and dusted his hands on his leathered smock.

"Now... what'll be want'n?"
