!,The blacksmith greeted Annik when he got back to the smith house. Annik was eating an apple and sitting cross legged waiting for him. "You sure took your time Blacksmith" said annik, "gather your stuff Annik" he said "its quest time..." Annik smiled and nodded. Lance held a hammer that was once called the hammer of the gods. He went inside the smith house that was compleatly made of dark oak wood, it had four windows on all it sides, it wasn't as defendable as his smith house back in the marsh, which had no windows and conveniently had an iron door. he went to get his items and prepare for the journey ahead . So he added item two to the sword, Magic. Lance worked the evening with the hammer of the gods that made small explosions of blue aura after each hit, thehammer casted conductor ruins into the sword. So that any magic worked with it. Lance, went to sleep after he had finished with his sword, but the masterpiece was not done yet.
The next day Lance woke up and sat to eat his breakfast. It was an apple and some apple juice, lance loved apples. After his brrqkfast he gathered all his items and the hammer and left with Annik. They exited the gate and went on their jurney. A few hours of walking later Annik asked Lance where they were going. "To protect the emperor" he said, "the king has asked me to do it" Annik looked surprised. She could not believe the king would want a blacksmith to protect the emperor. "Impressive... youre now the king's errand boy" She said. "They were direct orders from the king" he said "I will not fail him...", "but what if you do fail?" Asked Annik, "what if you cant protect him?" Lance looked at her and sighed. They both came to a stop at the bridge they met for the first time. "He asked me to protect him from the clockman" Lance said. Annik quickly looked at him and smiled, "I guess it really is quest time" she said and smiled. Annik went on ahead and Lance followed.
As they crossed the bridge Lance looked at the waterfall behind next to the bridge. They kept on moving accross the road and passed a few rocks. They came to a stop at the turning road, left was for Resin, the right was for Tardis. The empire was in Tardis. So they turned right.
The sky was turning dark and so Annik mounted the tent. Lance started a fire and they both chatted for a while. They taked about eachother and how theyve become what they were now. Annik was the first one to fall asleep. She was very tired for sure. Lance felt the same feeling he had felt at the bridge... they were being watched. He was sure Annik had felt it too. But she didn't show it. So he got up amd drew his sword slowly.there was a slight movement in the shadows and rustling in the bushes. But after a minute it stopped.Lance waited another minute but nothing was there. So he fell asleep and that concluded the day.
The next day Lance woke up and saw that Annik had made breakfast. "You woke up late" she said "lets eat and be on pur way". "Annik why did you ask me to help you with the clockman?" Asked lance "because i feel you're special" she said smiling and served him his food.after they both ate Annik put the tent back in her back pack...her very large backpack. As they walked to Tardis, Annik whispered into Lance's ear. "Prepare for trouble" she said "we're being watched". "I know" he said "they came at night", annik prepared for trouble.
There was rustlimg then suddenly 12 men were sorrounding Annik and Lance with hammers and cutlasses."give us your stuff and no one gets hurt" said the leader. Annik and lance drew their weapons and got ready for a fight.
