[F17 - Athenaia - R2 Blacksmith] «The Soldier's Creed»

[Tyonis 0]

 

Tyonis' smithy was established in the market district of Athenaia. The wooden sign is simple and without much fanfare. The shop itself is spartan and lacks any real decoration, unless you count the weapons, armor, and shields posted about the walls and tables. A stern looking man stands behind the counter. He nods curtly at you and motions for you to enter. 

"Welcome to the Solder's Creed. I'll be glad to help you in anyway I can."

After settling into his newly acquired smithy, Tyonis went into the backroom to start his work. He'd need to start filling his stock and perhaps make himself a sidearm for when his 2H Assault Spear proved ineffective. He began with a dagger. A simple, versatile weapon that could be useful at a range his spear was not.

Tyonis sighed heavily as his first attempt at crafting exploded into countless polygons. Well, he still had one more attempt to burn for the day so, he simply pulled out another lump of ore and began to craft another T1 Dagger!

Refreshed and ready for the day, Tyonis pulled himself out of the small bed in the backroom of his workshop. As always, he started the day off by burning away his crafting attempts for the next 24 hours. With a flick of the wrist, the forge was alight and warmth quickly spread through the room. The morning mist that managed to leak through the windows vanished along with any clinging desire to sleep. Though he didn't exactly need to, Tyonis thought it best for his mentality to get into proper character and equipped a Vanity blacksmith crafting outfit. With his mindset firmly in place, he went over to the workbench and opened his menu. Today, he'd try his hand at making a mace and rapier to gift to Spencer and Neopolitan.

Tyonis awoke early. Ever since coming to SAO, he had needed far less sleep to function than normal. He assumed it was because his actual body was still comatose and he was used to far more rigors daily physical activity that he simply did not need to recover as long. After all, one did not get tired in SAO. It was more of a set timer than a case of physical exhaustion. Still, he donned on some casual city clothes that best resembled work-out attire and ran some laps around Athenaia to get his metaphorical blood pumping. Tyonis was a creature of habit and working out was an integral part of his life. It would be again, once he escaped from Aincrad. He couldn't afford to let his mentality waver and grow lazy.

After his workout and a meager, relaxing bath, he made for his workshop to try his hand at crafting once again. Last time, he'd failed in making a Rapier and Mace.  Hopefully today would be different.

Tyonis grunted at the two shapeless masses in front of him. One he'd managed to salvage, the other he'd lost for sure. With a sigh of annoyance, he watched the second attempt at Neo's rapier shatter into polygons. At the very least, he'd leveled up, which meant he could try one more time today. At least he had enough materials to work with. He wondered if Neo would be up for gathering more some time, then shook his head and returned to the forge. With a swipe of his menu, the crafting mini-game opened and he took a third and final stab at making a Rapier.

"Another day and not enough Col," Tyonis muttered to himself as he begun his morning routine once more. He helped himself to a meager breakfast. After all his recent expenditures lately, he needed to be a bit more conservative with his funds. Hopefully, he'd manage to craft something worthwhile today. He was running out of materials fairly quickly and dreaded the idea of having to spend a whole day gathering more. 

"RNGesus, please, today, just let me craft SOMETHING useful!" Tyonis even cupped his hands together and closed his eyes, praying for any sort of miraculous, divine boon. When none came, he simply sighed and swiped open his menu.

"Well, time to collect more slag." Tyonis resigned himself and made to craft a Rapier for Neo. He managed to craft a single [Uncommon] T1 Rapier, but it was definitely not up to his standards.

Ever a creature of habit, Tyonis awoke an hour before dawn and went through his morning workout routine. This time, he teleported up to the 2nd Floor and ran a few miles around the lush forests, just as a change of pace. He returned and went through his personal hygiene. It was strictly unnecessary in SAO, but going through the motions reminded him of what he'd lost and what he'd have to look forward to. It was a means of grounding and refreshing his resolve every day. 

He dressed into his blacksmithing gear and approached the workbench, waiting for the familiar crafting prompt to show up. With a few swipes of his menu, he began trying to craft another T1 Rapier and maybe even a mace!

Emboldened by his success at crafting a [Perfect] Tier 1 Rapier for Neo, Tyonis turns his attention to Spencer's mace. He wouldn't forget the first friend he made in Sword Art Online, not by a long shot. He wiped the non-existent sweat off his brow, picked up his hammer, and went to work. By work, that meant taking his free hand and swiping through a few menus to start crafting the mace. It was the thought that counted though, right? Tyonis chuckled and prepared himself for the crafting mini-game as it came onscreen. 

"Spencer, pray to whatever god you believe in..." Tyonis muttered as the game started. When the game finished Tyonis could only sigh in annoyance at the subpar weapon he'd crafted.
