The Eye of Arachne

So this is the big world, huh?

So, a couple of weeks passed when I worked with the miners and other villagers. I learned many different ores and gems from it. So, at least it was a learning experiment from it.

I learned that this village has some old traditions, not really living in modern times, unlike the rest of the world or houses I've been through. However, we found something quite unique. Or more like I found something unique, and I ain't kind of enough to share it. Anyways, back to the ore.

The ore looks a lot different than all of the normal ores. It looks like a snake sharp scale but like a huge one and a mix of a dark purple and blue color. Beautiful and mesmerizing, obviously something I might make some money out of this. But it's a damn snake scale, not a gem, but I'll still take it. So I'll be using this thing for my own purposes.

Mr. Lint: "And this is how you make a sword. However, since you're still a kid, I can't just let you do all of this by yourself without any guardian guidance." Yeah, I asked Mr. Lint some lessons on how to be a swordsmith or whatever humans call them that makes swords or weapons when I find out that he's a swordsmith.

And a swordsmith is the closest thing to a jewelist, right? And I might or might not have told him that I didn't have any parents just like the Neng(Neige and the dwarfs gang however, I shortened it bc I'm getting tired of actually writing only 3 words, hey I'm running low of motivation here.) Anyways I wish that I could already make my own sword but I guess practice makes - I'm not about to say that shit.

"So this is it?" Mr. Lint told me that I got some speech impediment or some shit like that that makes me have a hard time speaking but he said with due time, I should get the hang of it and speak a lot better, well I fucking hope so, but at least I can I say I might have improved my speech... Or I think...

Anyways back to my sword making session with Mr Lint, he put the molten iron metal inside the sword mold. Honestly, the plain sword mold is so boring... but I'll do anything to make it in the fashion world.

Mr, Lint: "You're doing much better than the first time we have done with, you're not eating the molten metal anymore. So, how's the guys? Are they getting better with sword skills? You know I'm surprised that you can do something like that, you could never know a child could know sword fighting and combat skills." That's because I don't, for the big hunting spiders, not something small like me, but I have seen enough humans doing weird ass marathons and trying their hardest to watch as many movies as they could.

I think the movies that have combat in them are labeled as action movies or some like that. Personally, I don't get it and still won't in my entire short life, but at least they make good defensive moves away from predators. However, the ones that mostly got my attention in the movies are the swords, cool, long, pointy, and dangerous metals moving around and stuff like that? But I'm only doing these lessons so that they aren't completely defenseless to enemies.

"It's going ok. Everybody is holding up, I guess." By what I mean is that they hold up as much for their ages, is generally ok, I guess? personally what did he suspect, their kids, I'm especially surprised that the Seti Feyri can hold the daishō(a smaller version of a katana, don't quote me on this because I just researched this from google so I don't know if it is totally accurate or not.) And - oh no... the singalong angelic and ethereal voice chiming in before they could even appear in my view.

Neige: "Mr. Lint! Keysha! A kind man gave me an amazing offer!" He came skipping towards us with a piece of paper. "The kind gentlemen said that I have talent to be in the show industry!" Neige showed us his paper, and obviously, the paper showed his industry contacts and information about him. However, the address says. "He said that the offer was me playing a role in his new kids' film in a play in Pyroxene. He was going to let someone else play a role until he saw me. He thought that I would be a perfect candidate for his film!" I'm going blind and deaf by his radiant brightness. He's already harming my bad eyesight.

Mr Lint: "Wow, Neige! That's amazing for you, Neige. Isn't that right, Keysha?"

Don't ask me for my opinion. I couldn't care less.

"It's great. For you." I think that's the best most fucking sarcasm tone I ever done. Yayyy now he totally thinks that I'm being inconsiderate, which I have always been, but I haven't always voiced out my thoughts just so that I can be on their good side. "Plus, if you take it, then you'll be helping out the dwarfs even more." I hope that'll fix whatever the fuck I said.

"... you're right! If I take this offer, then I can help out with my friends even more! Not only that, but I'll also be helping you!" Woah, woah, what do you mean by helping me? I don't need-

"Well, I accidentally overhear you once telling yourself that you want to be a designer, and I have seen you reading lots of books that's mostly on design and fashion and other stuff that is related to it. I didn't mean to be in your business, but I wouldn't mind having a friend in this new experience!" Oh, mother... oh wow...

"Oh wow, that's so nice of you, Neige. I bet Keysha is willing to accept your nice offer, isn't that right, Keysha? Since even now you're working to be a good craftsman? Plus it's a great experience for you, seeing the new people, and you might window shop on some stores that'll catch your fancy" Mr. Lint lightly nudged my shoulder for me to properly recognize Neige words.

"Oh really now... don't apologize... It's great... I'll go... with you..." At least I can take advantage of this. However, the only thing I just hope is that I'll be away from him...

"Ah-! That's amazing! But what about your parents?" You need to stop asking for them.

"They'll be fine with it... As long as I'm with some trusty friend of mine, they'll allow it..." I wanted to throw up my own words as I felt my word turning

AN: Yes, I know that they didn't make it to land of pyroxene, but I don't care, and plus, it passed the my 1000 word limit, so you'll just have wait for the next chapter, which will be out probably by 12 months later, if I don't have motivation.
