Dragonheart Part 4
#5 of Dragonheart Part 0-28
Luso woke up and saw that the train had arrived in port and coral he had in the last wagon. Even Surasshu was already gone, what surprised him even more. He stood up, walked off the train and watched as the rock itself Surasshu got blue steel of the car. "The boy is crazy." He thought to himself only, and only sighed.
He went to him and before he could ask was, even the rocks off the wagon. He saw him and wondered if he had always been so great. "So that's that." Praised himself and wiped the perspiration from his brow. A little later the two looked a blacksmith shop, where they could forge a sword out of the huge rocks. When they found one, they asked the smith if he really wanted to handle the whole rock.
"But of course. My father once told me: "If you want to forge a sword then you must not be stingy with the metal. Because if something goes wrong they have to start all over again. I also want to forge the sword itself. "Answered the smith Surasshu and just looked at him very questionable. Luso was completely off my feet, when he heard the Surasshus father is blacksmith.
"You are the son of a blacksmith?" He asked, Luso just smiled. "Not just any smith: I am the son of Broke, the best blacksmith of the North am!" With a proud face showed Surasshu in front of the blacksmith and Luso. "Then prove to me how well the son of the" Metal King "really is!" Said the blacksmith. "Metal King" asked Luso Surasshu surprised and turned around.
"This is the title of my father. He was so called after he forged some of the strongest weapons clan members. And each of these weapons is unique that it is only once in the world. "Surasshu said proudly. "And now I want to follow in his footsteps."
The blacksmith said only that this can probably be years, however, harbored no doubts that he could do it. "You can have my forge. Then I can finally sell my latest weapons on the market. "Said the blacksmith and Surasshu accepted the offer. "But before you sleep before you even look right. Finally, the sword perfectly werden.de rocks can leave her with me. "
Luso, who wanted nothing better than sleeping in a warm bed, but immediately agreed to Surasshu sleep would not. "I want to start immediately with the sword.", He said, bringing the rock to the back yard of the smithy. He changed clothes and wore the usual blacksmith clothing: gloves, an apron and some work boots.
"The shoes are a bit depressing but I'll probably have to." He said and began to cut off parts of the rock with a hammer. Luso looked at him for a moment, smiled and said goodbye. "I come again tonight. So let me also what about. "He said and left. When he had cut off enough of the rock, Surasshu began to melt him.
While the metal is melted in front of him began to work in the form of his sword into the metal: a ribbed grip with a diamond shape dda underneath the hilt was flat and had the shape of a small hook, which went towards the handle. The blade was a dashing and curls in the opposite direction of the hook. When you pour the liquid metal, he had to be very careful because he wanted to cut a little lighter color than the rest of the sword.
Then he began to work on the sword with a hammer. But then he broke off the blade and had to start all over again. This he repeated about twenty times, there is always something else broke. As Luso returned in the evening, working Surasshu was still alive. "You're still not finished," he asked Surasshu but did not hear it because he had to start again from scratch.
"Why will not it work?" He asked angrily and threw the sword that he just could not forge again finished in the corner. Luso took the sword and looked at it. "You could have almost done." He said. "And why not then it will just stay in one piece?" He asked sour. "Maybe because you just used too little steel-blue. You still use the part you've hammered on from the beginning. Since you already have these huge rocks and uses it does not even exist. "Luso said and sighed.
Surasshu only looked at the rest of the liquid steel and then the rock from which really was not much left. He took the hammer, swung wide and hit a large piece of the rock. Then he melted it, and tried again, this time with Lusos help. After five hours of hard work they managed it: to forge a sword just after Surasshus ideas.
It shine in the light of the furnace fire blue as the sea. "This is truly a beautiful sword which thou hast forged Surasshu" he praised and patted him on the shoulder. "I'm not alone forged, we were both Luso." He said, and swung it short. It is easy to read result, although it made a very serious impression. "Where can probably take until I perform it properly." Surasshu said, laughing, wondering what he could do with the rest of the rock.
"You could sell it. Then we would have got paid to build our clan building. "Suggested Luso, where Surasshu agreed. "We can not possibly keep these huge rocks. But before we sell it, I will refuse me half of the rock as a souvenir. "Agreed Surasshu and raised his sword. He struck and Luso terrified when about one third of the rock fell off easily.
Then he looked at Surasshu whose face smiled with delight that way. "I did it! I have a blue-steel-forged sword, "he shouted, brandishing his sword and laid it on his shoulder. Then he pulled away again, packed the severed part of the rock, packed it and sent him north to his parents. Then they went back to the hostel and went to sleep.
But before they discussed what they would do next. "Tomorrow we will sell the rocks and then we search for a suitable building for our clan." Suggested Surasshu before unerringly. Luso he disagreed with any word and admired his determination. Then he turned to the rock and thought. "Why is this rock was hidden so deep in the mountain?", He wondered, be sure to note, however, nothing.
Then she lay down to sleep. Luso in his sleep, turning to magic, but without the Surasshu noticing. He was back in crystal lake and looked around. The snow storm was raging, and made the going difficult. "I must return to this cave." He said, and went on his way.
The red hem him lit up the path that eventually led him back into the cave. When he was in the first hall, he re-examined the cave paintings. However, he found no evidence of the rocks in the lower cave. Then he went into the lower cave and looked around there. Suddenly the walls began to glow. He shrank back and watched as characters formed on the wall.
"What's that?" He asked in surprise. The cave glowed blue in a weak, which surprised him fairly. Never before had he seen such a thing. He went to the wall, touched it and the characters began to change shape. They were legible and Luso they began to decipher. "This rock was more than a hundred years from the sky. Nobody knew about his existence know until we found him. "
He took her hand away and wondered why then opened this path, if no one knew where he is. But then it flashed behind him and a message floated before him. "Because you are pure in heart.", According to the message that disappeared shortly afterwards. "Because we are pure in heart?" He thought, and only woke up again. It was already morning, the sun shone and warmed the room slightly.
He stood and watched over Surasshus bed: it was leer.Er itself around his robe and went down. As always at this time was quite a lot going on in the hostel and Luso had a little by the amount of work until he was finally on the road. For a moment he saw a large crowd gather in the square.
He mingled with people and watched as the rest of the rock Surasshu auctioned. "Four thousand for the rocks!" Someone shouted. "Four thousand, five thousand I hear? Well then: "Five thousand" Four thousand at once, going twice, "said a woman and raised his hand. Only one second was from five thousand six-seven-and ten thousand at the end, what now nobody outbid.
"Ten thousand for the first, second and third sold to the man in black suit," shouted Surasshu and pointed to a man in a black suit and smooth black hair parted. He walked to the podium, gave the money Surasshu and snapped his fingers. Immediately came to a bunch of men that lifts up the rock and carried away.
After that broke up the pile and was only on Surasshu grin, as he did all the money in his hands. He put it away and noticed Luso, who stood as the only still there. He went to him and told him of the auction. "With so much money we could buy us determine a cool building or clan?" Asked he just nodded and Luso.
"But first we must register our clan, otherwise nothing." He just said, pointing to the town hall. Together they entered it and sought immediately after the mayor's office. They knocked and waited a moment.
"Come in.", she asked a muffled voice came and they entered the office. It was simply furnished: a bookshelf on the wall, and a few plants in the middle of the mayor's desk. There was a slightly older cat, who looked at in an almost festive suit them both. "Well what can I do for you two?" He asked calmly. Surasshu began to talk at first.
"We would like to start a clan here in coral port." Suggested he and the mayor just looked at him uncertainly. Only after hours of talks agreed to the mayor. They left the office and breathed deeply in and out only once. "He was pretty hard to convince." Said Surasshu stressed. "If you think that that's all there was then wait for now." Luso smiled and replied briefly.
Without long sought by the city after the two were to an empty building that they could use for their clan. All afternoon they searched, but could not find anything interesting. "In this town there are no cool buildings." Surasshu felt disappointed to Luso pointed with his finger on a plateau above the city.
On it there was an almost completely ruined fortress which used apparently no more. They decided to pay a visit to the fortress. It did not take long at most half an hour from the city there. They entered and they were equally surprised. The whole yard was overgrown and the walls were on the verge of collapse and only one of five towers was still somehow completely.
"What's that for a fort?" Surasshu Luso asked curiously. "It probably seems to be a fortress, which was playing an important role in the war to be." Answered Luso and worked his way through the greenhouse. Then they explored the interior of the Festung.Sie noted that the entire fortress has been reconstructed, before anyone can live here. "
Otherwise, the fortress is perfect for our clan. ", Coimbra said, pointing out once again that they should first seek someone who will renovate the fort. "Then we should still go and look after or clan members?" Suggested Surasshu. Luso agreed with him great circumlocution. They left the fort, hung but before they went back to the city a sign at the fortress on the stand: "Property of Clan Dragon Heart".
Back in town, they organized themselves into an order of the hostel. "Clan members can be found at the best, if one assumes an order." Luso said and took the easiest, he could get. "He looks simple. Finds and takes care of the Rose Cross," he read from, but Surasshu looked at him with a horrified look. "I want to create such a commission?" He asked anxiously, but Luso only said that they determined were not the only ones who have accepted this job.
"There are at least four other clan lots in this mission there." Clan Lose? Surasshu took a moment before he remembered what he meant. Clan tickets are adventurers who take orders without a clan and are traveling on your own. "And you think this is one of them joins us?" Asked Surasshu. "It depends: if we do right, they could show interest.
In addition, we have, and just one week to come to at least ten members, because we do not succeed, we must wait a year before we can start a new clan. "Luso replied, looking at it seriously Surasshu. "Wait a year, why is that?" Then explained Luso him why they must wait a year: "If a clan is founded, it must pass the first week.
This week, at least one task to be done, ten members of his clan to his clan and the building must also be present. That's pretty much the most important. "Surasshu was surprised when he received this statement from Luso explained to the last detail. "Then let's leave it at once to this Order is not it?" Surasshu boldly asked.
"I agree with you exceptional times. However, the application must be high in the mountains where we hike mostly on foot to go. "Answered Luso and went once before. Surasshu drew his sword, looked at it a moment and ran towards the hills behind Luso. It took days before they reached the vicinity of the mountain and realized how dangerous it was there.
Again and again crumbled stones and rocks from the slopes and the wind sometimes blew at high speed. "Welcome to the mountains of coral port, the largest mountain in the country. This one stretched a sea until it was destroyed in the war and then in this wasteland was transformed. "Luso told with outstretched arms.
The first thing they looked for a suitable resting place, so that tomorrow they could look for the Rose Griffin. "The place looks good." Surasshu said, pointing to a small cave just a few meters in front of them. They decided to go in and make a fire. Surasshus surprise to Luso did apply it without magic. "Why do not you use magic, but is faster right?", He asked what Luso answered with a slight sigh.
"I'm not so dependent on magic like other magicians who know they are not otherwise what else to do.", He answered quietly and sat down before the fire. "These failures are only able to brag about how much mages can use them in the day. They are nothing but fools who have no idea of ??what they possess. "
His eyes gleamed dully in the light of the fire that flickered in front of him and cracked. Surasshu sat on the other side of the fire and wanted to know more about him. "From whom did you actually learned the use of magic?" He asked first but Luso pointed the finger at themselves. "I myself was because no one wanted to. A country boy wants to teach anyone who holds such a high status so I taught myself in the ways of magic.
And so I became a so-called "Archmage" because I have both forms of magic: dominant offensively and defensively. This was also the reason why I was expelled from most clans after less time, because I was supposedly too powerful. "He told and lay down." But I do not want to talk further about it, ok? And if you do not mind, I sleep now, goodnight. "
He pulled the hood over his head and fell asleep. Surasshu watched him for too long, until he also fell asleep without realizing it. The next morning the two were awakened by a loud roar.
