Forged With Fire And Blood

Kione hadn’t expected the day to go this way but a life of no secrets would surely be a dull life, right? Kione wondered if he really believed that now after his past but regardless for the moment it was going well.  Kione had fun killing another predator and gained aid at it.  Fern was a nice enough lass and someone he knew so he’d let her talk him into going to their castle to make weapons.

Kione had brought more than his supplies for making a weapon with him.  The Komodo dragon’s head came along for the ride.  He’d fashion himself a weapon and bring Scylla home a gift to add to her collection.  The head was dumped unceremoniously on the ground even as a bit of fabric with the beasts claws were placed on the table.  

Kione shrugged at Fern’s question, “never bothered much with making things.  Just found the neck protector.” The mentioned neck protector being a thick leather collar.  “I’ve never been much for crafts.  I imagine tie them on to the leather and wrap the leather about the paws above the feet.” Kyren glanced about at the steel and iron shaking his head, “my best strength is my speed so I don’t want anything that would weigh me down or hinder fast movements." He had never thought to need a weapon.  Back home his pack had been large and woe the predator that thought to tangle with them.  Always together and never by oneself, the painted dog had hardly thought about doing his own separate thing.

Nothing to weigh him down but he did enjoy shedding blood.  If Kione could bite into a beast and rake it over with claws that could cut in deep, well he imagined that would feel pretty good.  “You making something for yourself luv?” That said as he moved to eye leather strips curiously before grabbing a relatively thin bit in his mouth to drop at the table near the claws.  “So, how do I attach em?”  The African wild dog assumed it would include some type of rope and looked about, “I need something that’ll hold em in place but not too fat.  What would work best?”
