Forged With Fire And Blood

Fern quickly makes her way to the castle, leading Kione and their little trove of treasure onward. The day had started like any other, with the gray wolf doing a morning patrol. Unlike the other days, near the border they share with Fenmyre, had heard a familiar voice. The joyful, jeering tone, hurling insults at some creature. She hadn’t that voice since she had arrived back at the Hallows and Fern never had to the opportunity to thank the wild dog that had helped her. Paws had speed her toward the fight, finding Kione engaged in battle with a komodo dragon. The dog was winning but the gray girl was still eager to join in the fight and the pair had worked together to take the dragon down.

With the threat dead, she had turned and greeted Kione warmly, trying to think of a proper way to thank the wild dog for all he has done for her. As they spoke, ocean-hued eyes had fallen on the komodo dragon’s dead form and an idea was born. Kione had pointed out the things claws, mentioning how unique they were and Fern had enthusiastically told the dog about the castle’s armory and blacksmiths, quickly offering their services to Kione. Truthfully, as the pair had made their way to the castle, Fern had worried that she had overstepped her bounds in offering the services to Kione. Luck was with her, as Artorias had given the duo permission to use the equipment and help.

So, the gray girl leads Kione to where the blacksmiths work, gesturing toward an empty table for the wild dog to drop the wrapped bundle of resources on. The forages and bellows are in full swing, the heat billowing out to blanket the surrounding area in heat. Running a foreleg across her brow, Fern looks to Kione and says, “Okay we have leather, steel, and iron to work with. The blacksmiths can help shape whatever you want to your forelegs. Got any ideas how you want to do this?” While she talks, the gray girl undoes the bundle, laying out the twenty claws and dragon’s skin they had harvested before looking to Kione for direction.
