[OP-F1] Finding A Smith

[Guest]

Keith stood at his room at the inn, looking at his sword. "I need to find a new sword soon. . . My current one can hardly break enemy armor like it used to." He sheathed his sword and left his room to go roam the town.

Garou was in the lobby of the inn, dozing in a chair instead of sleeping in a room. Although the price here was fairly sleep, the lad was willing to risk a night in the open- he wanted to save all the money he could. He saw Keith leave the inn and got up on his feet. Hmm, I wonder what he's doing. Garou jogged out onto the street and called out: "Hey! Keith! What brings you to this neck of the Starting City?"

[Guest]

Keith turned around and gave a smile at Garou. "Hey there Garou! I was looking for a blacksmith to make me a new sword, my current one doesn't do much to these newer monsters I've been seeing, and I think Startorious is getting tired of dragging me out of trouble."

[Garou 0]

He smiled at the coincidence. "Well, I just got a new sword from a smith! Meet Heaven's Beam!" Garou drew a shining white longsword from his back with gold details. It was heavy even for Garou (who had a skinny but muscular form), the boy always bound in chains and a thick Victorian suit. He had to hold it with both hands to prevent it from dipping. "Rage made it for me. If you want I can lead you to his master's store," Garou said with a smile.

[Guest]

Keith smiled at him. "That would be great! Thank you so much!"

[Garou 0]

Garou began walking down the street, sheathing his large weapon with slight difficulty. "So, Keith. How is your familiar?" He walked fast for having such heavy chains restraining his entire body.

[Guest]

Keith smiled and scratched his head. "He's doing pretty great!" Startorious was perched on Keith's shoulder and made a small purr in his throat on seeing Garou

[Garou 0]

Garou smiled, a twinkle in his green eyes. He had a dog back in the real world, and now he suddenly missed it. In a way he had neglected the pet, taking it for granted. His throat caught as he tried to say something, almost shedding a tear. "Well, that's good to hear." Garou removed a piece of meat he had save from last night's dinner from his inventory, holding it in front of Startorious as an offering.

[Guest]

Startorious sniffed the meat, then continued to munch it up and swallow. He lifted his head and burped a small white orb. The orb floated for a while, then popped in an explosion of white twinkles. "You are a little show-off aren't you?" Keith said while scratching Startorious beneath the chin.

[Garou 0]

Garou chuckled as he saw the dragon do the silly trick. He grinned at Keith as he turned a corner. "C'mon, its down this way. Rage made the sword for me. Y'know, the guy who killed all the bandits in that cave?"

[Guest]

Keith continued to pamper Startorious and glanced over at Garou. "Someone you could perform a feat like that? How could I forget someone that strong?" Keith went over to Garou and was ready to follow his lead to the smith.

[Opal Gemstone 0]

Opal was staring at the store for a very long time from the outside. She wanted to walk outside, and ask the owner if she could watch him make weapons... Opal took a step and it felt like the whole world would be a desert. She took another step and it felt like she was drowning under water! Took another one and it felt as though she were to be electrocuted. Opal took another and it felt like someone was tripping her... And she felt through the doors...

[Garou 0]

Garou saw Opal waiting outside Rage's smithy and looked over at her. "Maybe it isn't open yet," he said a little sadly, looking back to Keith. He sat down about ten feet away from Opal, closing his eyes in relaxation with a deep sigh.

[Guest]

"Well, then I guess we wait." Keith through a small metal rod in the air and watched Startorious fetch it, and he continued this pattern.
