“Forging in itself is not a difficult thing. That can be easily done.” Phoebe kept shaking her head, and she said, “It’s not as easy as you think. This volcanic metal isn’t normal metal, so it’s difficult to forge it. If you’re not careful, you’ll break it. Only an excellent swordsmith can do it well. Based on what I know, there’s a swordsmith like that in this area, and he’s the only capable one. His name is Brighton Cook.” Thomas remembered the name “Brighton Cook” deeply.

The boy looked exhausted, but was hammering away at a piece of iron over a large semi-rusted anvil. Will was elated, this is just what he needed. His previous home had a severe lack of metal tools and weapons, stone wasn't even close to being as useful. He tried to listen to what the old man was yelling at the kid, but he couldn't understand anything yet. But watching was enough. Will could learn by watching alone. Practicing would have been better, but even if he came after they were completely closed, he surmised that the blacksmith lived on the second floor of this shop. Hammering iron would immediately wake the old man.

"I know you're one of Schneider's men, but I'm not going to let you go in this state. You definitely need proper treatment."

And where the hell was the Alpha King while we busted our asses on the front line? Not even the Moon Goddess visited this pack. “What can I get you?” the guy behind the bar said. I slid a gold coin across the bar. “I need someone to make me a weapon. And information,” I said low. He glanced up beneath my hood, then slid a hand over the gold coin. “Can’t promise he’ll take the job, but the best smith lives in a cabin near the warriors’ citadel, to the south,” he said, wiping the counter with a rag dirtier than the wood.

Consumed by the agonizing loss of my mate and the intoxicating, phantom memory of our primal night together, the stone walls of the office felt like they were closing in, crushing my lungs. I needed an escape. I needed physical pain to drown out the deafening noise in my head. “And he actually had the fucking guts to speak to me,” I muttered to myself, my chest heaving. Deciding to completely isolate myself from the crumbling world outside, I resolved to bury my violent frustration in the intense, skin-melting heat of my private forge. I stormed out of the study and marched down to my personal quarters. I violently stripped off the heavy, suffocating ceremonial coat and the tailored shirt, c

Right now they had only one month left before Butler Fin’s scheduled return. Within a small smithy on this remote planet, countless distinct sounds of an anvil being struck resounded. Over the anvil stood a well-built teen with a rugged appearance. His beard was unkempt and his appearance filthy with ash and grime. His eyes remained glued to the sword that was slowly taking shape on the anvil. The aura of a High Class Artefact was leaking ceaselessly from the sword; its golden red blade glowing softly every now and then. “You should rest Big Brother,” a tall handsome teenager with looks similar to the blacksmith’s appeared through the door with a large beast slung over his shoulder. In his h

‎Azriel was there, just as Lazarus had mentioned. ‎He was stripped down to a dark thermal shirt, its sleeves pushed up past his elbows, his bare forearms gleaming with sweat despite the freezing temperature outside. In his gloved hands, he held a heavy iron tongs, maneuvering a red-hot iron bridge bracket over the anvil while his right hand wielded a heavy blacksmith's hammer. ‎CLANG. CLANG. CLANG. ‎The rhythmic strikes rang out clear and sharp, sending bright orange sparks cascading onto the dirt floor.

The man spoke and with his threatening words made everyone feels suffocated. “try to pull your trigger and every one of you will die”. wearing his usual smile sarcastically.

Would I ever find solid ground? I tried to push the questions away, telling myself to focus on the small victories: making my own breakfast, turning the music up loud, buying flowers just because I wanted to. Yet, loneliness seeped into the cracks. --- One afternoon, walking through a crowded market, I stumbled upon a tiny antique bookstore tucked between two cafés. The faded sign read *“Fragments”*, and something about the name pulled me inside. Inside, the scent of old paper and dust wrapped around me like a warm blanket. Shelves sagged with forgotten stories and whispered secrets.

Again. I closed my eyes. And suddenly, I wasn't in a cell anymore. Not really. I was there — back where it all began. --- The forge roared, orange light licking the stone walls as I brought the hammer down again. Sparks burst around me, clinging to my sweat-drenched arms.
