The steady beat of his hammer on the anvil placed Daed in a calming mind and stopped all negative thoughts from entering.When he was finished he marveled at the dagger he spent the last day on.Now this is good work Alton.Don't get to thingyy you aren't a master yet.Daed gave one of his rare true smiles and shook his head.Your right but still I get better every day.Well mister mister elven blacksmith its time for you to go outside and do what normal people do, came Alton's sarcastic reply.Daed hated doing this but he promised Alton he would go outside with the people everyday for a little while.He dressed and strapped his weapons on.He walked out and gave a fake and forced smile to people he saw.

Kaylee was on her way to her own forge when she noticed the elf blacksmith leave his house with the werecat at his side. She smiled, glad that she wasn't the only one with love of the craft. She knew she could never match an elf's skill with anything, but she was proud knowing she did her best with what she could do. She decided to go talk with him, worried that he might be lonely at times. If she couldn't think of anything else to talk about, they could always talk about smithwork.

Daed noticed one of the human blacksmith coming his way and wondered what he should do.Hey I got an idea why don't you just talk to the girl.Daed just rolled his eyes at Alton's usual sarcastic comment.He waved at her and gave a slight nod of his head.He slowed down a little but kept in the direction of the training field.

Kaylee approached the elf and matched his pace. She gave him a bright smile.
"Hey," she said, noticing the weapons he had at his waist, "Did you just make some of those?"

"Yes I made some of these recently others I have made a while ago.," upon saying this he motioned to his sword.Oh stop talking man your a blabber mouth.

Kaylee looked at the sword with intrest, loving to talk about blacksmithing almost as much as working it.
"I ain't never seen work like you elves can't create. I wish I could make weapons as pretty as you can."

Daed grew interested since like this girl he loved being a blacksmith.He pulled out his sword to show her and tell her about it."It took me a solid year to make this blade.The blade is my version of a rider's sword.It is made of hundred's of folds so that as the years go on instead of getting duller it pulls back to a sharper edge.Also the hilt is made of ivory and gold intertwined until it reaches its namesake,the Serpent,that reaches an inch around the blade."

Kaylee looked with genuine intrest at the blade. She gently touched its edge, marvelling at the elf's skill.
"That's really good," she said, the pulled out an oddly-shaped piece of armor.
"I've been working on this for the past few days. It's part of a dragon's armor. I figured, 'what the hey? We have a lot of dragons around here now. Might as well try my hand at it.' It's the part that goes on the tip of the tail."

"That is a good idea," he said after checking the armor and seeing the girl had talent and if she knew a couple of techniques he knew then she would be very good.He noticed they where nearing the training area so he sheathed his blade."Are you going to train," he said as he motioned to training field.

Kaylee glanced at the people training on the field.
"Me? Oh, no...I ain't that good with fightin or anything. I just make swords. I can hold them...but I don't never want to fight with them."

Ah I see your talking to one who doesn't share your opinion with the way to use blades."Have it your way but trust me you will need to learn how to use the blades you make if you are to survive a war such as this one." Just then Alton changed to human form and with his dagger ran wildly to the training field to fight whoever. "So are you staying or leaving?." he asked as he pulled his double speared sstaff of his back.

Kaylee gave a small smile to the elf as she watched the werecat run off to fight.
"I ain't never been in a fight before," she said, watching as he pulled out his weapon, "All I do is make and fix stuff for people who need them and whatnot. I'd like to stay and watch you fight, though." She looked at his double-speared staff with intrest.
"Hey, ain't that the kind of weapon those priesty dwarves use?" she asked.

"Yeah an almost exact replica except for some changes on my part. Most dwarfs don't know I did this but I be they will be pretty mad," he smiled when he thought o a couple of angry dwarfs."Well now lets see if I can show you a little something of my skill." Daed looked around and picked a spot completely empty and choose this for his practice.

Kaylee sat back on the ground to watch Daed as he practiced. As she watched, she noticed River walking slowly toward the training field. When she saw that Simon wasn't with her, Kaylee worried a little. Simon always ended up getting extremely agitated when he didn't know where his sister was. Kaylee couldn't blame him, seeing what the Empire did to her. Kaylee stood up again and put her arm around River.
"Hey, sweetie," she said to the girl, "What're you doin out here? Don't ya know your brother's gonna get worried." River gave her a small smile.
"Simon knows," she replied. Kaylee nodded, then took River with her to watch Daed fight again.

Dead kicked his fighting into high gear after a few minutes.He used his inner anger and pictured hundreds of riders around him.He ducked,weaved,and jumped. His two speared staff twirled,stabbed and cut. His imagination made it seem he was killing riders and dragons all around him.He was a blur as he moved all around.
