| Fire Up That Forge | |
| By: Cobalt Date: April 8, 2017, 11:20 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| One morning a dragoness in her mid twenties stood proudly facing | |
| the front of her recently built forge. Her wings were tucked in | |
| at her sides, a pair of protective goggles rested on her | |
| forehead and three tennis ball-sized chrome orbs floated in the | |
| air and orbited around her slowly. Everything looked shiny and | |
| new with her best sets of armor and swords on display at the | |
| front - Cobalt frowned as soon as she noticed a spec smudged on | |
| the front of one of the torso pieces and quickly grabbed onto a | |
| cloth with her mouth to quickly polish it clean. She then | |
| shifted one of the displays slightly to the right and measured | |
| it to make sure that they were equidistant from each other. | |
| The dragoness then took a deep breath; everything had to be | |
| perfect . Not only was this officially her very own forge, but | |
| she had also received word from the king that there will be a | |
| number of monsters visiting her over the course of the next week | |
| to look at her wares and possibly commission her for custom made | |
| armor and weapons. | |
| Her heart fluttered. A chance to be given the title of being The | |
| Royal Blacksmith was finally within her grasp! She just had to | |
| make sure she did a good job and work as hard as she could to | |
| make sure she gets there. What an opportunity of a lifetime! She | |
| drummed her claws against the ground as shs anxiously thought, | |
| 'I hope I don't mess this up.' | |

| [center]"Hey! It's lookin' good, Coa!"[/center] | |
| Lucian, currently dressed up in a black and red tracksuit had | |
| been out for a morning jog. While passing by he had just now | |
| noticed Cobalt's personal forge was fully built! The aspiring | |
| Royal Guard waved enthusiastically, almost to the point of | |
| causing a slight breeze to come from him because of the wild | |
| motion. Lucian hopped on over to Cobalt's side. "So. How're you | |
| today? I see your forge has been built." He put his hands on his | |
| hips, looking upon the majesty of the establishment, almost | |
| bursting with pride. One could almost see the fire in his eye | |
| sockets. "Exciting, isn't it?" | |

| A broad grin suddenly formed at her maw as she whirled around at | |
| the familiar voice of her friend, "Lucian! Good to see you!" she | |
| greeted, "Thank you! It took long enough, but I finally have my | |
| very own forge! If I'm completely honest, I'm rather nervous. | |
| How about you? I hope you and your brother have been keeping | |
| well?" | |
| "Not too long ago I received word from the king that he was | |
| thinking of starting a platoon of Royal Guards? So that's great | |
| for business, I guess..." | |
| The trio of orbs floating around her moved slightly quicker in | |
| response to how she was feeling;as well as adjusting the | |
| displays again. She frowned slightly in thought before gasping | |
| at a sudden idea and the dragon turned to the skeleton again, | |
| "Say, could I ask a huuuuuge favour? Are you busy today? Do you | |
| mind being a model for me? I need to see how quickly and | |
| efficiently I can work with custom-build armor and weapons so I | |
| could give accurate estimates to future clients." | |

| [font=arial black]"Be careful with this one, he has trouble | |
| standing still."[/font] | |
| A voice calmly echoed in a joking tone as a strapping looking | |
| skeleton walked into the forge. As Mistral walked next to his | |
| brother, he gave him a soft tug on the shoulder, a teasing | |
| gesture to show how much he liked to mess with him. [font=arial | |
| black]"But he's determined, I tell you that much. If he puts his | |
| mind to it, he can do anything."[/font] | |
| Mistral looked to Cobalt, trying his best to smile. [font=arial | |
| black]"The King spoke about your new forge, Cobalt, I'm very | |
| happy for you. Such an opportunity, yes? Very good news! Though | |
| I overheard you mentioning that you were nervous..."[/font] he | |
| said as he walked closer to her, crossing his arms, looking to | |
| the forge and then to her. [font=arial black]"Perhaps you're | |
| just excited?"[/font] He added lightly. | |

| "Me? Nervous?" Lucian gave a pause, but it quickly dropped when | |
| a massive grin came across his face as he started laughing | |
| heartily. "Well, of course! I'm so gosh darn nervous that I'm | |
| just..." He wiggled his hands in front of him rapidly. Anyone | |
| that would've been looking at his face might be able to see some | |
| sort of metaphorical fire in his eye sockets somewhere, he is | |
| quite the spirited Skeleton after all. "Well, I dunno!" Lucian | |
| sheepishly rubbed the back of his shiny dome. | |
| Talk of the Royal Guard got Lucian even more hyped, he almost | |
| started vibrating in place. "Mhm! One | |
| [glow=orange,2,300]specially trained[/glow] for Prince Asgore!" | |
| He looked right at Cobalt's face. His expression said it all, he | |
| need not say a single word to convey that-- and she likely new | |
| this was his goal already- he was gonna try his damnedest to be | |
| one of these guards! | |
| Lucian gasped, Cobalt wanted him to model for armor?! It was | |
| almost as if his eye sockets turned into glowing stars and | |
| sparkles. "EEEEEEEEEEE, Of course, of course, I'll totally do | |
| it!!" | |
| Mistral, Lucian's older brother had also come by today. Trouble | |
| standing still? Bah! A mere trifle, not a challenge... Aside | |
| from his very mild excited vibrating, that is. "Hahah, okay, | |
| I'll admit; yeah. That's true, that's true. However!" In one | |
| energetic move he triumphantly pointed upwards. | |

| you bet I'll do anything it takes!"[/center] | |

| Cobalt couldn't help but grin at Lucian, his enthusiasm and | |
| positive energy was contagious! She then raised a paw to her | |
| chin and her mouth parted slightly with an excited anticipation, | |
| "You're aiming to be one of the Prince Life Guards? That's an | |
| amazing goal to have! They would have to be crazy not to let you | |
| in! I'm so excited for you - wow I'll have to make sure to add | |
| some extra polish to your gear." she exclaimed with a playful | |
| wink. | |
| The dragon then let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Lucian | |
| agree, "Oh thank you! I was worried you would be too busy today, | |
| ha~" | |
| When the second skeleton had unexpectedly made his presence | |
| known, the three chrome spheres which were orbiting Cobalt | |
| dropped an inch or two in her surprise before they regained | |
| their original height and continued to orbit the dragon. | |
| "Ah Mistral! So good of you to stop by! Now two of my favourite | |
| skeletons are the first to visit my forge, wonderful~" she | |
| hummed with a broad smile. | |
| When Lucian had another wave of excited vibration overcome his | |
| body and posed dramatically, Cobalt couldn't help but chuckle, | |
| "Ah well, in that case I'll have to make sure to not add any | |
| Mail Coifs, Hauberks or Pixanes otherwise you'll end up sounding | |
| like a chandelier with them rattling against your bones! Chain | |
| Mail is so last season anyway. So tacky, arhk." she commented in | |
| jest with a disgusted flick of her tail at the end - well mostly | |
| in jest. She really didn't like forging that stuff. | |
| She then humbly dipped her head at Mistral's comments, "Yes it's | |
| such a wonderful opportunity that I am so lucky and grateful | |
| for! It is really exciting, I'm just nervous since I'm taking up | |
| the mantle after Briarhart - he made such exquisite designs for | |
| a range of heavy armor and swords! I just hope that my work | |
| could measure up to his in some way." she explained, a tone of | |
| high admiration in her voice when she spoke of the newly retired | |
| Blacksmith. Perhaps her friends would know that she had idolized | |
| him for a very long time. | |
| Soon after the dragon let out an excited chirp as she swiftly | |
| side-stepped around one of the skeleton brothers and slipped in | |
| between them; wrapping a broad, metallic wing around each of | |
| them and ushered them to follow, "Please! Do come in! Make | |
| yourselves at home and there is so much to do!" she proclaimed | |
| as the metal door to the forge swung open the moment they got | |
| within close proximity. As they made their way into a highly | |
| organized and clean workshop. Everything in sight had some sort | |
| of metal attached or built into the equipment; purely so that | |
| Cobalt could lift and move things around with ease. It was also | |
| quite spacious with several work benches pressed against the | |
| sides of the room, tools such as hammers were strapped to the | |
| walls in perfect alignment and arranged according to size and | |
| there were a number of storage cupboards and shelves - which | |
| were also neatly organized. A furnace powered and heated up by | |
| some of Hotlands' lava, Welder, Air Compressers and other | |
| equipment of the like could also be found at the centre of the | |
| room. | |
| As the three entered, various equipment and tools within close | |
| proximity to Cobalt roared to life; flying around in every which | |
| direction according to the dragon's wishes. Soon enough a | |
| clipboard with a metal backing, a quill and ink bottle (which | |
| also had metal pieces attached to them) and a measuring tape | |
| flew towards the trio from one of the shelves. The Blacksmith | |
| then gestured for Lucian to stand in an open space in the room | |
| before the measuring tape flew towards him. The clipboard | |
| hovered in front of Cobalt as she wrote several notes, drew out | |
| simple diagrams and dotted down the measurements of the skeleton | |
| as the measuring tape simultaneously stretched across and | |
| wrapped around every inch of his body. It may be apparent that | |
| Cobalt didn't think much about any possibilities of intruding on | |
| personal space as she took measurements, since, she wanted to | |
| get this just right. | |
| She then frowned, "Hmm..." | |
