Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Mishaps and hot baths

Sparks fly out in all directions as Hineni strikes against the clamped down blade of the sword again, hammering the red-hot piece of metal flat into shape. It’s all he can do to hit the right spot with his non-dominant arm.

 

“Left,” says Obscura.

 

Hineni, following her words rather than his instincts, tries to hit a small bulge on the left side of the metal. This had been going on for a while, he would hammer his way through his work and it would chime in every few minutes, seeing something that he didn’t from her perch, high up by the roof-windows.

 

Working in the forge is brutal tonight though. Not only because of his throbbing, useless hand, or because of him trying to push his way through with his left hand, or because of the usual heat of the fire and the nervousness of having not only a visitor, but a keenly watching one. But because he is fully dressed. Apron, fireproof mantle, his hat and some rolled up leather instead of his scarf. He’s soaking wet, drenched with sweat beneath the odd assemblage of clothes, but he refuses to work in the buff with this pair of observant eyes watching him. There is no way that it couldn’t have seen his injuries during their last encounter here, but it hasn’t mentioned them. Still, he doesn’t want it to see more than it has.

 

This process goes on for a time as he makes the blade, the hilt and the pommel. But all of these things are… sub-optimal. This is a low-quality item, there’s no other way to look at it. Hineni sighs, wiping his forehead on his shoulder as he stares at the menu of the very shitty sword.
