The Craftsman
/ The Craftsman Chapter 4
As Daedalus woke up the next morning he saw his father Danel laying on top of him with a worried look on his sleeping face .
Due to Daedalus moving around Danel woke up before looking to see that Daedalus had woken up and was looking at him . Because he saw Daedalus awake and alright he started tearing up before saying loudly "Never, ever do that again, you hear me, never again . You scared us half to death, Daedalus!"
Danel then hugged Daedalus to his chest saying "I was so worried, thank the gods you're alright . " breathing in deeply Danel said "Ok, get up your mother is still having a panic attack, she needs to see that you're alright . "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few days later Daedalus is finally let out of bed, deciding now is better a time than any he tells his father "Mother, I want to be a Craftsman . The best Craftsman in the entire world!"
Selda shocked at what she heard "What, why this all of a sudden . I know you like weapons and armour a lot but you haven't even tried yet, so why . " Daedalus says in the most serious face he has ever used "Then give me a hammer, a blueprint some metal and some time, I will make an awesome tool that will prove I have what it takes!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Selda's Smithy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok Daedalus, everything you need is in here . Now you can start, but do not hurt yourself or I will stop you and you will have to wait until you are older and more capable before you try again . "
"Ok mom . "
Looking around Daedalus starts thinking "So I will first try to make a good tool set for the future . The blueprints are over there . "
Walking over to a darker corner of the Smithy Daedalus begins looking through a large stack of papers and some leather hides of various types and sizes . Daedalus quickly finds a few hammer and other tool designs, and carries them to a desk .
After a few minutes of reading through the blueprints, Daedalus walks to a storage room to his right . In the storage room all that is visible is a multitude of ores and other blacksmith materials like wood for handles and bows .
Looking at the ores, Daedalus quickly finds a deep silver red ore and a few bright turquoise ingots, quickly walking back and forth between the forge and the storage room, Daedalus quickly moves all of the ore he needs over including .
Iron, Adamantine, mythril and a few other ingots like steel . After setting it all by the forge he walked back into the storage, but quickly re-emerged carrying a small ironwood log and a small stack of other woods . Using all the wood except for the ironwood Daedalus lights the forge .
After waiting and watching the fire until it was up to heat, Daedalus quickly started placing all the metals into a strong looking red hot basin in the center of the forge . As the metal starts to melt Daedalus puts a dark red powder in making the partially melted metals start combining .
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
after a few hours of forging the metals with his mothers hammer a set of dark shining purple black tools could be seen cooling in a water container .
Daedalus due to his hard work is now asleep and covered in sweat, laying in his mothers arms .
Selda just stood their with her mouth wide open, enough for a fist to fit in her mouth, staring at the pieces of artwork that her son had just made .
