    Tokara had found himself in the distric with al the smiths and gladius shop was jam packed with people coming in and out. He minded this and head to the furthest smith he could find and eventualy just found a smithing quarters that was being used but there was not much businuess going on int his place. the smith was a younge lady with a fire colored hair and a fair tan of skin. But her face was horibaly scarred from what looked like flames tokara kinda looked at her from the back of his cart. her shop was more like an eve on a house then much of any thing. She finished up a horse shoe and looked at him. her looks made him stare that is for sure. "you just going to sit there and stare at me or you want horse shoes?" her tone was one of iritation.

    Tokara a little taken by her attitude being so sour. "ummm acutly was wondering if i could rent one of your forges the dwarf i normally go too seems quite full." tokara steps down and starts to take off his armor showing he was also scarred to living hell becuase he had no under garments. she stairs at him with a brow raised. "rend my forge... well i dont see why not i got an extra anvil out back... you look like you can lift it no problem... but your going to need to find your own heat source." she then used some fire marge to heat an unfinished horse shoe. "i dont use forges." tokara rubbed his chin of stubble hairs and scratchs under his next. his mitten and plate mail was finaly off and only his pants and boots where on. "alright this sound fair enough... you wouldn't happen to want the armor I was just wearing?" tokara ended his part of the conversation with quite the interesting proposition.

    Tokara had gotten he portable forge all set up from the cave, the peacekeeper had teloported every thing they had found in to the carrage this was most handy, everything tokara had was at his fingers now. how ever he was stumped on how to get the forge working it was as cold as ice. while he thought about how to get this contraption working his horse was unharnessed from the cart and let loose in a small pen for her to graze around in. Crackers was sticking close to tokara rather more under his feet. about a few hours later tokara worked the anvil over to where he would be working. Of corse it was heavy but for him it was nothing more then a heavy object but not immovable. after setting it down near the porta forge he sat there looking at it. "okay.. how do i get this to work..." he scratched his head most of the forges he worked on was already lit and being fueled for him.

    Mina was still exploring the city she was walking past what seemed like a blacksmith's quarters. She stopped when she noticed someone the seemed somewhat familiar it was a rather tall man with dirty blonde hair with blue eyes. Mina's little puppet Usagi then piped up "Hey Mina.. Isn't that Kara?" Mina then responded to her friend with "I think it is Usagi.. Its nice to see that coming into contact with me didn't cause anything bad to happen to him.. Although that doesn't mean something bad might not happen." Her puppet responded in a rather joking manner with "Well then maybe we should watch him and see what happens?" Mina then looked at her friend and said "Are you crazy?! What if he sees us?" Usagi then started giggling and saying "Relax it was only a joke....Hey! What are you doing?!" While her puppet was speaking Mina began creeping closer to the man hoping that she wouldn't be seen.

    Tokara for most of the day sat there figuring out how to work his small portable foundry forge, it was not some thing that was simple to understand it was made by gnomes... and they made every thing more complicated. so after about an house tokara watched the female fire mage blacksmith who was making some horse shoes.. he got a little, intrested and begins to ask her questions.  "whats with the horse shoes.. i remebere seeing centuars wearing them. never understood it.."  the mages cools a shoe in some water ad a hiss went off. "horse shoes help horses and centaur travel, mush like you or me they need shoes to protect their hooves. also it hurts alot more when they kick a Bandit."  toikara looked at his horce soot who was looking over at some thing and snorting  while crackers was asleep in the back of the cart all tuckered out from running around.   "how much does a set of shoes go for?" he then asked soot might need some knew ones if she even had any on.   "depends... if your talking about your horse... maybe 2000-4000 gold depending on the materials you want to have it made out. then there's the kind of traction you want for them. You need to know where you plan on going." she said as she then went back to her work. hearing this tokara got thinking... what was he going do... this land was under great termoil.  he goes to the cart and pulled the legendary weapon the meteor sword  from the back and held it up and then stabs it in to the ground  as hard as he could.. the ground froze about 5 inches out from around it.   "this weapon... i want to be strong enough to wield this weapon against those who challange me." he said looking at it. the weapon was so detailed in its craft, it was rather pleasing to look at now that he was taking his time to study it. frost and steam slowly fluttered around its blade.   he was in deep thought about it he rubbed his scratchy stubbly chin.

    Mina was still watching the tall man not really knowing why she was watching him and she even began to think What am I doing?! Just watching a random person seeing if him coming into contact with me is going to cause something bad to happen of course.. But nothing has happened so far so why am I still here?... Should I just go? Mina's little rabbit Chi then took the time to look around and she saw a little puppy the one that she encountered earlier. While Mina was lost in her own train of thought Chi began to approach the puppy who seemed to be sleeping at the time.

    tokara looks onward to his sword studying its very uniqe style of making. he had never seen again thing like it before. crackers remained asleep where he was just breathing with some light puppy snores. tokara was still very intrested in his sword, to the point he had started to ignore the world around him. he wondered if he could get the skill to forge such a sword as well and if he could would it be as strong as this one? so many questions as he started to studdy more of the hilt of the weapon.

    Mina was still hiding and watching the tall man as he pulled out his weapon. Mina was eyeing the weapon in amazement as she began to think Wow look at the size of that weapon?! It's massive! How on earth is he able to carry a weapon that big!? Mina still didn't notice that her rabbit was over by the puppy and the rabbit began sniffing and pawing at the little dog. The rabbit was doing this to make sure the puppy wasn't a threat to her or her master.

    Tokara was stroking his facial hair which was nothing more then stuble with his arms crossed. his torso was bare exsposed to the world showing his thousands of scars and wound mark that have healed over time. he walks around the sword and pulls out his iron great saw sword. holding it near his sword he noticed a frosty layer developing on his iron sword as a misty fog came off of his frost sword. "what is this made of..." he mutter a little pulling the iron saw away. he had seen water sword made from the strange water metal ore found near shores in lymphae and on the coast of some continents. he studied its structure as he tapped his iron saw great sword on his shoulder walking around his other sword. "who ever created this sword knew what they where.... it must be a lost art style." he said as he reaches with his own hand at the blade and some frost coated his fingers as her brought them away. he never really understood his weapon. he rubs his finger together to warm them back up.

    Crackers wakes up to the rabbit pawing him and starts barking loudly. this causes tokara to turn and look at crackers. "oh now what you hungry again?" he said going over to see crackers bounding around a white rabbit barking and sniffing the rabbit over. he scratched his head looking at the rabbit. "didnt i see a white rabbit the other day?" he said thinking back a little. still not cluing in on whos rabbit it was.

    Mina stopped spacing out when she heard barking, she looked over to see her little rabbit pestering the little puppy. Without thinking Mina ran out of her hiding spot towards the rabbit picking the little rabbit up while saying "No no no no no no no! Not again Chi. Mina then noticed the man was closer than she thought and was now sorta staring at him not sure what to say. Mina noticed that his body was covered in scars as she began to think On my.. There are so many scars.. How is this man even alive?! Mina who didn't realize she was doing this brought up her puppet and her puppet said "Hello Kara."

    tokara looked at her with a raised eyebrow and pondering look on his face. "you again?" he didn't have much to say other then that he didn't know this person and didn't know they where following him. he goes over to crackers and picks him up setting him up in the cart and looks at her rabbit. "why are you using that puppet to talk??" he said looking at her in a strange way he puts the iron saw in the back of his cart and soot just looks at them all while eating out of a grain back.

    It was too late for Mina to go back to her hiding spot as the tall man spoke to her. When Mina was asked why she doesn't speak on her own it was her puppet that answered that question "Mina does not USE me! I am helping her! Now why I am helping her? Well it is both easy and difficult to explain really but to sum it up bad things tend to happen around Mina so she chose to stay away from people in order to prevent them from possibly getting hurt. She barley even talks to people on her own so that is where I Usagi come in to play! Now the real question that we should be asking is why Mina is choosing to follow you now even though nothing has happened to you?.. Well Mina why are we still here?" Mina looked at her puppet not sure what to say really so she just came up with a way that didn't make her sound like a stalker "Isn't it obvious that you dragged me over here Usagi?" The puppet then replied to her puppeteer "See that is... Wait.." The puppet then looked down and then looked at Mina and said in a rather angry tone "I dragged you over here?... I DRAGGED YOU OVER HERE!!! I DON'T HAVE LEGS YOU DOPE!"

    Tokara scratched his head trying to listen to this fast talking puppet. she was following him to see if some thing bad would happen. "you do know that's a bad way of thinking that some thing bad will always happen. because after you start thinking like that when thing do happen i guessing your thinking its because you, this world is cruel not everything is caused by you thinking it." starting to move away tokara rotates one of his arms his body flexing a little. "i need to get back to work... i need to figure out how to work my blasted tool over there. your welcomes to sit around and watch but i am not going to baby you." he said as he went over to his ice sword in the ground again and scratched his head thinking about it. he was at a loss on what to do he really was. as if he was out of his element. "i need to get my ass in gear i am sure remy and sidney might be relaxing but i need to make my self more equipped to figh the beasts that pleuge this land." crackers was looking over the cart at the rabbit wagging his tail. he barked at it that lead to a whine.

    Mina was listening to all the man had to say and her rabbit replied for her "Yeah the world is cruel.. But when ever Mina is around it seems to be twice as cruel.. It's like everything around her is trying to kill her and we don't know how to make it stop.. She just has the worst luck ever I guess." Mina's face lit up when she was told she could stay and watch and she spoke for herself which is something she rarely did "R-really? Y-y-you will l-let me s-st-stay?.. Th-th-thank you M-Mister S-Shire." Her puppet turned to her and said "HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! MINA I THOUGHT IT WAS MY JOB TO TALK FOR YOU!!! IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO KARA THEN USE ME!!!" Mina responded to her puppet "Oh my! You're right Usagi I don't want my bad luck to spread and that is why I have you I'm sorry I am stealing your job from you." Mina looked over to see what the man was doing and her puppet said "Mina.. blacksmithing is like making weapons right?" Mina nodded to her friend and responded "Yes but its also repairing weapons as well." Usagi then asked another question "Then does that make you a blacksmith? I mean you make weapons right?" Mina giggled at that question as she said "No my weapons are a lot different. My weapons are made by magic and the water around me. While normal weapons are made with metal mine are made out of ice which is a completely different material. I highly doubt I could ever be a blacksmith because of both my bad luck and the fact that I am actually pretty weak when it comes to physical strength."

    Tokara heard there rambling behind him as he went over too his forge, he looked it over and he went over to where the fire mage kept most of her tools. He was selecting what he might need. In amung the tools was a single book. his curiosity gets the better of him. as his takes this book it notices its rather heavy when he notices its made of metal with a coating of leather over it. in thecover with very fine detail it said a guide to weapon craft. This caught his interest even more. but of course he wasn't the best reader in the land he clears a spot on the bench and opens the book up. in the very first page it lists a bunch of words. "base weapons? altered weapons?" Tokara was interested in what else this book had to offer. as he read on he noticed there where classifications to weapons, Base being weapons that are easily hammered out and made right from the forge, like a basic wood cutting axe, to a iron long sword. while altered weapons did not come straight from the forge, they often had other things added on to them ranging in many different styles. which he didn't read right off the bat as his eyes started to hurt from reading. "ugh thats a little painful on the eyes..." he said turning a metal page to a page of gold. it shined bright as he backed away from the book. he rubs his eyes a little more. he opened his eyes and crackers was back to sleeping and snoring again with his tongue out in the cart. he looked back seeing mina still talking with her puppet to herself. very strange girl he though. he didn't catch most of her conversation with the puppet.

    Tokara was reading about how there was many aspects to every weapon. Every style had its own needs to be met.  "there's a lot more to this blacksmithing stuff then i thought... didn't know i could heat a metal to a point it hardened's stronger but at the cost of being brittle, or risk maybe being to soft." the book was full of quite useful information it was making tokara's head buzz about to the point he started to stroke his slowly growing facial fuzz appearing on his face. he looked at his small forge and reading on the golden page he noticed it was not very well suited for making weapons of large size but better for making field repairs to armor and weapons.  He sighed closing the book it hurt his eyes to read any more there was so much information it would take him weeks to read it all carefuly.  the fire mages walked up to him. "that book can be found in a libary for around 20000 gold. they only make so many copys every year. this ones mine and i would like it if you asked before touching." she said with a rather intense and mean look. Not wanting a fight tokara scratched his beards some more. "could i talk you in to selling me this copy?"  tokara said looking down at her she was rather more of smirking making more gold off tokara in the past few days then in a whole month.

    The mage looked at tokara when he offered to buy her copy, rubbing her chin she thinks about it. "maybe but that copy is not just for sale. you need to also do some tasks for me to get that book, Plus around 100 thousand gold pieces and i will consider it." she said looking at him with a grin like he wouldnt do it. Tokara looked at the book while it had some smugest of soot and grim its metal pages where not damged and easy to read. "alright... Deal what are your tasks." tokara said crossing his arms looking at the blacksmith. "i need some gems and some gems from the mine outside the city. I need 5 full blocks of gems." tokara looked at her with a brow raised and his mouth cocked to the side. "well then i beet be on my way..." he said getting his things packed together he was still topless for armor, in fact her barely had any armor on at all besides his pants. Gathering the forge in to the back of his cart he goes and gets soot ready to get on the move.

    Mina was too lost in her conversation to pay attention to anything going on as her puppet said "Hey Mina.. Are you trying to become friends with Kara?" Mina took a while to answer but did finally say "M-making friends? With Mr. Shire? I have never given it much though really I mean people hardly want anything to do with me and my bad luck." Her puppet then said "It's not that people don't want anything to do with you it's that you always warn them and cause them to leave if you want to make friends then you got to try more and actually talk to- Hey! Mina it looks like he is getting ready to leave! Come on lets follow him!" Mina's arm then looked at though it were dragging the rest of her body and Mina said "Hey wait! Don't you think this is being a bit creepy just following him around?" Mina wasn't liking the idea at all but it seemed like she was out numbered at both her puppet and her little rabbit seemed to be following the man so she sighed and just went along with it while thinking Well so far Mr. Shire seems to be very nice.. But still he doesn't realize just how much of a bad luck charm I can be.. Let's hope he doesn't mind us tagging along.. Why do I have a feeling this won't go well?

Tokara saw the girl with his frosty great sword was laying down in the back the cart seat next to him was free to sit in. "you coming along?" he said looking down at her. soot snorts all ready to go as she scratched at the ground with one hoof.

    When Mina was asked if she was tagging along she said quietly "I-i don't t-think I really have a choice in the m-matter.. D-do you not want me t-to M-Mr. Shire?" Mina's puppet said "Where are we going anyway Kara?" Mina's rabbit approaching the puppy again but began to back away when it began barking. Mina spoke to her rabbit "Chi calm down I don't think he wants to hurt you. I know you are kinda new to the whole making friends with other animals thing but please just remain calm and I am sure you will be fine." Mina's puppet seemed to be looking at the man as she said "So Kara what do you think of Mina? Be honest now okay?

    Tokara looked at her puppet and looked at it. "other then you shes not bad more like a walking jester..." he said as he cracks the reins and soot started to haul the cart and them away, heading for the gate that leads to the mine. crackers looked harmless in the backpack since he was more less being carried like a pampered pup. as the gate came up tokara looked at her. "i hope you can fight if trouble comes along." he said as off they went through the gate.

    Usagi was a bit annoyed with his answer and she responded with "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A JESTER?! Mina forget making friends with him this guy is a jerk!" Mina sighed as she said "Well Usagi we hardly know him and he hardly knows us now you wanted us to go on this little adventure so we are going that is final now let's go... Hang on he never did say where we were going." Mina then realized that the man was gone and she said "Well I guess we are going to have fun trying to find him?" Usagi then said "WHAT?! I SAID THAT GUY WAS A JERK DIDN'T I?!" Mina said as she began walking "I know but something about him makes me feel like you labeling him a jerk isn't one-hundred percent true.. Besides I have a feeling that we won't be seeing the last of him."
