There we go, the forge has been lit and is working since a few weeks back now, I found myself pretty satisfied once I got it working, meaning that I can now do two things I like to do these days, hard work combined with warm days out in the sun and in the rain as well.
Hard work..thats something I do enjoy rather much these days, bashing the metal and the steel into shapes of chest pieces, leg armours, gauntlets, shield and even swords, axes and daggers. As the blacksmith of the mercenaries of the bloody dawn I find life is quite full of work, there is always a dagger, a sword or a dented shield to repair and I do it to keep them geared up for any contract they might get, even getting out with them on some as well...the soldier part of me is still there..
Take for example the past few days..we head out into the Old Forest..never liked that place, strange tales about wandering trees and not forget the spiders..anyhow..we did what we set out to do and had to camp in the forest itself for one night..Always a enjoyable with Taala around..being Taala, a special but good girl to know, special in her own way, a way that I do find that its putting a smile on my face. She and Eroforth..well I do not know how they managed to bring down their tent on themselves, I have a hunch but I'll leave it to that, it was most amusing for me to watch the tent slowly crumbling down not to say listen to them, that gave me a smile in the night.
I got some company during my watch by a woman named Katnya..or just Kat..we did talk a while about things in life that we both missed and I somehow gave her a smile as well on her face, which I am happy to have done, she seems to be a good girl..and I am happy to have got to know her..
Sitting here on the step to my house..the forge burning, waiting for a few bars of Ancient Iron to melt so that I can get to work on something..it strikes me that its now one nine years since I first sat foot here in Bree..time flies..and not a single day goes on without me thinking back..back to those years..those months I had a family..they would not have wanted me to mourn them for all my life, keeping their memories with me I will move on, who knows..maybe there will be a someone at my side if the time and the chemistry is right.
