[center][h3]Golden Era, the year 453. One month has since passed from the day the coalition force first took action. The first few expeditions have ended in much success. News of no casualties and only slain monsters have been cause for much celebration. However, Gregorias was not celebrating. He found it uncanny how well things were going. A gut feeling that came from decades of experience told him that it was merely the calm before the storm.[/h3][/center]

[b]Current Time and Location: Day 32, Midday. Coalition Camp, Alice’s Tent.[/b]

“Hey, Cross,” said [url=http://safebooru.org//images/605/6d678a851ca792d41d0673a449ed57715705f8aa.jpg?610363]Alice[/url]. “Get your ass over here.”

Alice was a renowned craftsman from the Earth Kingdom. To call her here a mere blacksmith would do her not justice. She didn’t just dabble in steel. Her creations ranged from magical staffs to mechatronic chainsaws. Capable of enchantments and technological breakthroughs, her name was known Astrea as the number one in the industry.

The Babettes had brought back Searzon’s corpse from their expedition two weeks back. The creature had stayed frozen in a giant ice cube created by Hazel’s magic until the day before when Alice had arrived on camp. Amadeus had approached her requesting for a new armour using Searzon’s remains.

“I wanted to you a proper full mail armor like you requested but I didn’t have the materials. You see this thing?” Alice lifted up a broken part of Searzon’s horns. “As much as it resembles steel, it ain’t. It’s more magic infused bone. I can’t melt it down and make your platemail and stuff. So instead…”

Alice then snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, an armored golem that was hidden from sight approached them. 

“Ignore the mannequin, it’s something I use for measurements. It’s convenient because I don’t like dealing with people… anyway, that’s beside the point.

“It’s leather armor. You see, I felt your metal armor didn’t really suit your fighting style. You rely on quick and agile movements, don’t you? Wouldn’t leather armor be better? I even made it in black with some fancy details like you like it. First of all, it’s durable as heck.”

Alice demonstrated by slashing at golem with a sabre. It was stopped upon impact and there was no visible damage to the armor. 

“Regular weapons are useless against it. Though obviously it’s not all powerful, you guys managed to cut through his hide when you fought against him, right? But it provides enough defense and its also light as heck. Plus the last feature is the best one.”

Alice took out some red gems from her pocket and threw them at the armor. They burst into flames upon contact. The golem stood in the fire for several seconds until the flames died out.

“It has crazy heat-resistance.”  Alice tapped the armor. “It feels cold even after all that. As long as you protect your face when a fire element attack comes your way, you'll be able to literally walk it off.”

Then, really abruptly, Alice begun stripping the golem and tossed the entire leather armor set onto Amadeus before pushing him out of her tent. 

"Alright, that's done. Now get out cause I have work to do."
