Solitude Blacksmith Novels & Stories

The rhythmic, deafening clang of iron hammers against anvils had always been the heartbeat of the Vanguard’s lower rings. But on the eve of the Canopy Festival, the Forge was entirely focused on a single masterpiece. Mwajuma stood in the center of the open-air pavilion, her broad shoulders bathed in the orange glow of the roaring furnaces. She wore only her canvas chest-binding and her dark leather trousers, her massive, heavily muscled arms extended. Chausiku, the Head Blacksmith—a towering woman with arms as thick as tree trunks and a vicious scar across her collarbone—stepped forward, carrying a heavy bundle of dark, glowing metal with massive iron tongs.

She planned to adjust the armor Kaelen had sent earlier, to better fit the slender builds of her orphan girls. The sound of clanging hammers grew deafening the deeper they went. Blazing furnaces kept the whole area sweltering hot. Eira halted before the largest blacksmith shop, lined with finely crafted plate armor. Before she could speak, three burly bare-chested Blackrock men blocked their path. The leader stood fully two meters tall, a long claw scar slashing across his chest. He held a huge wooden tank of cloudy ale, reeking of strong liquor. He sized them up openly, eyes wandering insolently over Serena and Eira.

I was shoved inside a building by one of the guards. It was the blacksmith's dwelling place. The blacksmith forged and repaired weapons for the pack's warriors, ensuring they were well-equipped for battle. It wasn't just for the warriors alone. The hunters, gatherers, and even craftsmen were included. I had been here on several occasions, running errands. But each time, the heat from the furnace was hotter than the last. "She's here," one of the guards with me said to the head blacksmith, Benjamin Robinson. A man in his early forties, maybe with balding hair and wrinkles at both sides of his eyes.

Yet one day, they would be her subjects. The blacksmith stood dutifully at the anvil, his massive frame silhouetted against fire. His ashen, both by colour and the ashes of the coal, made some sense as to why his hair was tied back. Revealing a face lined with soot and scars. His arms, corded with decades of labour, swung a huge hammer, as though it were weightless, in a rhythm that seemed to shake the very ground. Sparks leapt like dying stars around him, but he didn't once flinch. This forge, like all forges, was run by the Wingless.

" A pretty woman said suddenly as she barged through the door that leads into her workshop. She was carrying a box of old swords and was dressed in some old clothes that fit her well, complete with a blacksmiths apron. She had raven black hair that was tied back, two small strands of hair falling over her face stuck to the sweat. Her eyes were blue and her eyelashes long. "Welcome to the broken bucket blacksmiths!" She said, placing the box down and wiping the sweat from her forehead. Xolvion smiled as he introduced himself. "Nice to meet you, my name is Xolvion." He said. Xolvion couldn't help but notice she had wiped black soot on her face with her glove, deciding to tell her.

He became a skilled blacksmith just like Bowen, his adoptive father, The Genius Blacksmith. One day, hundreds of years ago ... Bowen could feel an evil aura approaching the blacksmith workshop, where he worked. He stopped the work of forging iron, then hurried to block the door with heavy iron bars. The Dwarf hurriedly extinguished the fire by dousing it with water, causing a sizzling hot smoke. The suppressing evil aura drew closer. Bowen didn't know who was out there. Whoever, the intentions were definitely not good. He didn't like the arrival of these uninvited guests. He had a bad feeling.

Still, he understood the need for armor. The blacksmith was like his smithy, big, scorched, and black. One of his eye lids was scalded shut, leaving him with only one eye to work with. But it seemed it did nothing to hinder his work. If he was less efficient for it, Sethlzaar could only wonder just how efficient he would've been when he had both eyes.

Ribs pressing against his skin like a washboard. The blacksmith was a one-eyed old man with a vicious temper who forged blades that never broke. Every soldier in the camp came to him for repairs. Rex crouched outside the smithy for three days, watching the old man work the iron. The metal in the furnace bloomed orange-red. The old man pulled it free with tongs, laid it on the anvil, and struck. Sparks burst with every hammer blow. Burn scars covered his hands, layered over each other like the bark of an ancient tree.

“Ruby’s gone. I heard she’s making moves to transfer schools, move to a new city, and barely answers my calls. Says she needs space from… everything.” He stared into his drink. “My business is sinking,” he continued, voice cracking for the first time. “Debts piling up. Partners pulling out. And all I’ve got left are regrets. Drinking too much. Hitting too hard when I shouldn’t. Pushing away the only person who ever looked at me like I wasn’t a monster.” Black said nothing. Just signaled for another round. Two broken men, drowning in the ruins of the lives they’d built. ♠️ MARLENE ♠️
