Entering the store the girl looked around, shocked to see al these creations. The ones closer to the door she tried to examine, but attention was turned back to Ava as she followed her to the back.
"This will take a second." She said as she laid the hilt on a nearby anvil and grabbed an already made blade without an hilt down right near where the blade would go on the hilt, she put it in a very very hot forge before putting her gloves on though she seemed used to the heat as she noticed the blade get red and reached for one glove with her mouth which she got and quickly put on to hold it as she got the other and pulled it out with one hand bare which she grimaced a small bit from and one gloved she put it down carefully on the anvil and put the other glove on.
She then put the almost melting blade's bottom onto the hilt where she began to hit the blade into the hilt as it began to curve in giving the new blade texture and aerodynamics as she would swing it she then put the flat thick blade which was not designed yet into ice cold war where a lot of smoke was seen.
All during this her eyes became serious and trustworthy as she then put the blade back onto the forge and then the anvil as she then began to whack it hard the steaming red blade could be seen easily forming into a very very sharp and long. The blacksmith then grabbed a nail and began to skate a design into it which was a line curved down both sides going to the top where they met on both sides of the blades and what looked like a small plant going up from the bottom which only added to its design. She seemed to be hitting in a way that might seem weird she actually had what looked like a small sharp blade the size each half of the blade which she ran up and down the blade forming it and making it what looked like tougher sharper and just cooler in a sense
She smiled at her work as she quickly put it in the water and more steam flowed out as she gave a satisfied sigh as what came out was a long steel blade with designs going from the bottom of the blade to about a quarter up. She then took the gloves off and handed it to her. "Well all done. And free of charge" She said with a smile before handing it to her with bandaged fingers which she did during the cooling process since she burned them. The whole thing took only 5 minutes the longest part was the part when she had to add the design to it.
At the speed and how she seemed used to the process suprised Aplion. A thought ran thorugh her head. 'She must be the one they were talking about.' When the blade was finished and handed to her she took it from her, noticing the bandages. A finger ran up the design, easily not cuting herself. Eyes that inspected it gave no real insight on what she was thinking.
"THank you, I doubt another smith would have so easily did this. Your quicker than anyone Ive met really. Though curiousity got the better of me. Why the designs? A personal mark of yours?" She asked.
"Yes, its on all of my designs, the plant is, the lines just for show, its so no one can claim they did it unless they manage to get every detail of that design right." She said with a smile to her comment about her being the fastest she had ever seen.
"Better to have something that not many can duplicate than something simple and easily copied." GRipping the sword's hilt in one hand she moved it, fast but carefully. Even for its weight she easily manuvered it.
The blade felt like it was a feather light yet it was tough her management with it would mean she could easily make a slash and also to her secret she also put a special thing inside of it while she was making it. "Oh by the way you will find that your sword will have the power to melt anything it touches if you focus energy into it." She said with a smile before noticing a small smudge in the glass counter top and wiped it away with a nearby cloth.
She blinked and stopped the blade, suprised by her words. Having the sword weigh so much less than it did before was new to her but luckily she quickly ajusted to it. "Melt? what do you mean if i put the energy into it?" Dark eyes stared at her, the seriousness as cold as in the forest.
She smiled before grabbing what looked like a small piece of scrap metal and placed it on her blade, "Now just focus on anything and watch the result of it." She said with a smile
"Focus on anything? Like a memory or something."It wasnt that she was dumb, just she didnt understand what was going on. She did focus though, on what you couldnt tell.
"No focus on the blade it becomes easier as you see results just don't worry and do it." She said with another smile before holding the metal tighter waiting for her to do it
