(Sorry for such a long break. I've been going through a lot over the past months.)

After a long day of working on building a barn, John took it easy for the remainder of the evening and found himself going to bed rather early. In the following morning, John woke up rather early and found himself in the forge tending to a weapon he was still working on. A hot forge filled with steam and fire was not normally a place one would want to find themselves in the early morning just before dawn but it was as much a place of comfort to John than his bed. Here he could work away his frustrations as he pounded away at hot metal to forge the shape he desired. Though it was not a new weapon John was working on or even a new weapon. The weapon before John was incomplete, a traditional longsword  missing half of its blade.


John rested his hands on the work bench with his head hanging over the blade. His sweat gleaming off his face and on to the floor. He straightened his posture and grabbed the handle of the blade. [color=turquoise]Try to work this time will you.[/color] He stated before holding up in front of him. He breathed in for a moment before focusing on the sword. The blade began to glow a faint translucent orange. Not long after, a small flame erupted from the sword. He smiled slightly at the progress though it was quickly diminished as the blade cracked. He quickly set the blade down on the counter. Making a blade magic was one thing, but fixing a broken blade and enabling it to keep its magic properties was difficult for John. He reached for a cloth and wiped his forehead before exiting the forge.

Glancing up at the rising sunlight, he sighed. [color=turquoise]I need to spend more time in public.[/color] He had the idea to check the board for any jobs that may require his skill set. Hopefully there just might be.
