Kingdom of Hope

She followed him, looking around the path as they walked.

"All these people… all at once… It seems like too much of a coincidence for me… " He looked out into the distance, thoughtfully. Zeko hissed and slithered to the ground where he curled up about himself and fell asleep. Gennadi shook his head and tsked.

He walked quietly. He ended up putting his sword away not seeing anything currently.

"My mom's going to kill me.." She muttered to herself, putting her hood up over her head.

"What part of the kingdom do you live in?"

"Fine..be like that. Just trying to make conversation.." She muttered.

"Not that great, seen as we're kind of lost."

Shane’s horse whinnied unhappily. Too many people, she practically whined. Shane shifted in her harness, squinting suspiciously at the people around her.

(Ikr, but I have wifi at school)

(Yeah my school has wifi too but my teachers have gotten more strict on foods)

(Nuuuuu! But food!)

(Oof I meant phones XD)

(I like food. Also, Nore, I’m on rn if you want to start our little plot)

(Oh sure! Im in class but its tech class so I can be on )

(Sweet! Let’s get started then!)

(Cool! Ill get Cassidy to come to the blacksmith place)

(whos gonna interact with Victoria?)

(Aalexi and Will are just walking on a path so..)

Cassidy walked into town, eager to get back to work. She walked to the blacksmith place (i dont know what its actually called) and walked in the front door. Pulling her sleeved farther over her hands.

(It’s just Rey’s Smithy. You can call it whatever.)

Rey perked up when he heard the door open and looked over. He rose from his chair, sparks still stuttering from his smithy.
“Hi there. What do you need? A sword, axe, dagger, kitchen knife? I have it all.” He gave a meek smile that clearly suggested his emotions.

"Hi, I was wondering if your open for apprenticeship?" She asked hopeful.

Rey blinked. “Really? Well, yeah! Of course I do. What experience do you have in the forge?”

"No professional experience I'm mostly self taught" She answered ecstatic he is actually considering it

Rey rubbed his face a little. “Can you identify the differences between different metals? Know when to use them, at least?”

"Of course!" She answered, she had spent the majority of her life studying books on metals and teaching herself everything she could about blacksmithing. She pulled out a small throwing knife from her pocket. "I made a set of these out of steel" Cassidy balanced the knife on her finger to show that it was balanced.

Rey grabbed it delicately and rubbed his rough fingers over the surface.
“Huh, you made some nice steel, that’s for sure…” He examined the bottom, holding it in his hand.
“It’s a little uncomfortable to hold, but well done. Do you know how to make a hilt?”

Cassidy nodded and pulled out a medium sized knife with a neat but simple looking hilt "My hilts still need some improvement" She commented handing the knife to Rey
