Clang , Clang , Clang . Metal being hit on an anvil. In a busy village between the small stores lies a black smith , working away in his shop . A young knight comes by , a great sword on the back , a weird one open sided helmet , light armor on the body , to the front of the store . The blacksmith working away , giving no attention . For some time he just stares at him , noticing how strange the blacksmith looked . A bronze hood , no hair , no face , just glowing eyes in the darkness , light Maroon robe , dark brown tunic , bandages on His arm , glove on the hands and long shoes where the trousers went into . His precision was immaculate , with every hit the sword got flatter no bents, nothing more than required hits . the hammer is very strange looking , antique in a way with beautiful design .
the knight calls to him , "hey"
black smith doesn't reply .
the knight calls again him ," hey black smith ."
he doesn't answer . the knight sits to the side of the store taking off his helmet to rest while waiting for the blacksmith to finish his work , thinking he might not want to be disturbed . As he rests there , he looks around even though he is a such a skilled blacksmith his shop doesn't seem have many visitors . He hears the bangs stop , wears the helmet , then jumps up , noticing there are more swords than before even though not much time has past .
"hello" , says the knight.
The black smith looks at him but didn't seem interested , he starts putting his stuff away .
" you seem very skilled , we need a blacksmith at our castle , I would like if you can come and fill the spot for it." says the knight.
and again the blacksmith was not interested .
the knight asks , " How much for the sword."
the blacksmith puts up 3 fingers while putting the stuff away. the knight throws a bag of coins to him . he catches it .
" you will be well paid . "
the blacksmith's glowing eyes turn off and on as if he blinked . The blacksmith comes to the front and shuts the store down , right in front of his face . The knight lets out a sigh , and starts to walk away . as he does , the blacksmith comes from the back side of the store and approaches him . The knight comes to a stop and the black smith stood on the side
knight asks , " so are you coming ? "
the black smith nods yes . the knight smiles
" follow me then. "
As they walk under the moonlight , fire flies flickering on the edges of the path and the light of the village fading away behind them . The leaves rustling in the wind , a gentle breeze in the night. The knight takes of his helmet to feel the wind . Black smith starts staring at him .
" what , is something wrong ? look I might be a kid but..."
The black smith points at one of his eyes .
"oh this , my eye was clawed by a razec , when I was little ."
The black smith still looking at him , big glowing eyes , shining from the unnatural darkness in his hood .
"so.... , who are you ? and also out of the many creatures , monsters and other beings I know , you don't seem to be anyone of them . can you talk ? "
the black smith shakes his head .
"hmm , your a guy right ?
the Black smith nods
ok , do you have a face ? "
his glowing eyes closes half way , looking at him .
"oh sorry thats a weird question to ask , do you have a name ? mine is Rafat."
the blacksmith shakes his head .
" hmm , can I call you by a name ? since it would be better than saying black smith."
black smith nods .
"how about warob , people of my village use waro for glowing eyes , it suits you pretty well though. "
The blacksmith nods in agreement . As they walk on the path , Rafat turns to a hollow tree . warob gives a confusing look .
" just follow me " .
Rafat goes into the hollow tree and disappears . warob is surprised , he puts his hand into the tree and it disappears . Suddenly he is pulled through the tree and stands on a path way top of a small hill . he looks around and sees a shinning white crytal castle in the distance . with smaller crystals surrounding it.
"that is the mirror ." says Rafat with a smile.
