She nearly teared up since she was overjoyed at the first gift she had gotten from someone who was not trying to pay for healing or from the high priest. "Thank you,  I love it." She spoke the most Walker had ever heard from her. The sweet and smooth voice making the sunlight dance with a few rainbows. Walker was almost captivated by the scene but before he could respond she had kissed him on the cheek and ran to meet the high priest\'s pace. 

Walker was stunned and stood at the door for a decent portion of time. He had never had such a thing happen and his emotions were in turmoil. Part of him wanted to rush after her again while another part wanted to curl up and hide away in happiness. Tomorrow could not come soon enough, he would need to try very hard to rush himself to bring the books he had promised her to the cathedral. With this on his mind he started off through the mansion to make sure that he told Su about his plans, he was sure she would go with him. 

"Leader, what are you running around for?" Su had just come out of her mother\'s room after checking in with her which was a long time habit of hers. She was doing it less often but still fell in to the same old routines at times. 

"Ah, well I wanted to know if you would like to head to the cathedral tomorrow to help with the healing? I need to bring Alice some books too so I thought it would work out pretty well." Walker was slightly red faced but was not as embarrassed to be more open to the always supportive Su.

"Of course, they always need extra hands to get everyone healed. We can do so much to help them and since we have the time it is only right that we do. We should be bringing Gil and Remey too, they need to act a little more like heroes or else we two will be the only ones that the kingdom knows….Well Midnight should come too, but i think she might not be as helpful." Su had her worries that Midnight would just find a warm place to curl up and nap.

"You never know some of the elderly there may find her adorable. If they bring her any food she will do whatever they ask of her. Plus how many people can say they have seen a dragon in their lives? Just having her there would be something to take away their pain with distractions." Walker made some good points that it would still be beneficial overall to bring the whole party. "Yea that settles it we are going to bring everyone whether they like it or not." Walker was determined. Everyone would be helping and he would be able to complete the task he wanted to get done. 

"By the way, do you need me to come with my designs and the materials for my shields? I really want to try and help if I can." Su had been finishing up her design ideas and had a much more clear vision of the shields she would be using. She just needed to convey the, to the wandering blacksmith who they were all sure was asleep in the forge from tweaking things all night, he was a perfectionist.

"Ah, I almost forgot! Let\'s bring him the materials we bought, If you can go get Gil and Remey we can start crafting or at least make design changes. The steel worm skin is so big that i think we will be able to use it for more than just Remey\'s armor." Su was happy with this idea and in her excitement went on her mission to find the other two. She had a sneaking suspicion that Gil was still asleep and that Remey was off trying to punch something.

Walker went down to the front and around the house to the forge. There was a small amount of smoke rising from the smokestack which showed that the forge was already heated and ready. "You must have a sixth sense to know that I was on the way." Walker announced his arrival only to find that the wandering blacksmith had cleared the table for the new materials Walker was bringing with him. "First we have this crate of fifty shell bug spikes, Gil wants to make arrowheads with them. I think he will ask you to make some adjustments so that they can more easily hold some paralyzing poisons or some elemental crystals." 

Walker put the crate down on the table and the wandering blacksmith did not wait even a beat to open it and start to look at them. He pulled out six of them and tossed them in to a pile on the ground. They had small cracks and one was even missing a point. With just a glance he had taken out the worst parts. "This is a dusk stone, if I can ask you to split it in half so I can deliver half to the high priest tomorrow and keep the other half for Onyx to use to absorb some light elemental mana I would really appreciate it. I thought you would have more fine tuned skills to make it happen without breaking it completely." The wandering blacksmith added to this and was more than happy to help in this matter. He also decided he would make a few adjustments while at it.

Walker pulled the bronze dragon scales and Orichalcum ore out of his inventory placing them down as well, the wandering blacksmith did not flinch as he already knew of these materials. He had planned on using them the entire time and was more interested in what other new material there was. 

Walker started to pull the forty foot long steel worm skin  from his inventory soliciting an immediate reaction from the wandering blacksmith. With some help and a little bit of effort the entire skin was rolled up and placed at the foot of the work table. The two of them were looking at their materials. The wandering blacksmith had poked and prodded the steel worm skin a few times seemingly happy with the item. He saw that it was strong and flexible which would make it perfect for the conjoining parts of armors. 

The wandering Blacksmith took some time to analyze each piece of the materials he had at hand. As part of his job he needed to make sure that any imperfections or damaged materials were not used or were fixed in a way that would not put the final product at jeopardy. He was extremely careful in his actions and would every once in a while grab a nearby tool to scrape or cut away a piece of the steel skin. 

Once he had looked over every material he took hold of the dusk stone and a chisel. With a hammer he placed the chisel on the stone and swung his hammer being careful with his force, One swing and the dusk stone spit in a perfect half. The inside was smooth and had a very small amount of glow to it. Walker was amazed at the skill the wandering blacksmith used to make the stone split in two so perfectly. With the two halves separated he was able to take some other tools and started to carve them in to shape. The pieces and dust that came off from his work were put in to a small dish he had and would be used for other things later. Walker watched the speed of his hands trim and shape the dusk stone halves in to perfect shapes. They both now looked like pieces of perfectly shiny black stones. Onyx was sure to be happier with this than what they had before.
