At the guild base...
Inside the room where a furnace could be heard crackle, and hammering noises flooded the chamber...
Joaquin swung the hammer, up and down, hitting precisely red-hot iron, multiple times to form the shape of a sword, a long sword, for heavy hits.
Joaquin: (puffs & huffs) I think that will do for now, time for a break.- He sat down on a chair, throwing his glove away into a table.-
Suddenly the main door of the base opened.
Joaquin: Wonder who it is. - He stood up from the chair and started walking towards the main hall-.
Opal: Joaquin? was that you who made all those "clink and clank" noises?.
Joaquin: Welcome back Opal, well yeah, didn't I say one of my passion is blacksmithing? Anyway, how did the mission go?.
Opal: Regular, to be honest.- She sat on a chair-. Not the very best quest I did, but I sure had fun! Also, what are you doing?.
Joaquin: Oh, um, I'm making some weapons Buck and Orion asked me for.
Opal: Oh sweet! can you make me one too?.
Joaquin: Sure, although there is some stuff I have to do first, maybe in a couple of days my schedule will be free.
Opal: Alrighty, speaking of those two, where are they?.
Joaquin: Orion recently left to gather more insects, and Buck went hunting.
Opal: Oh... Hey... Joaquin...
Joaquin: Ya?.
Opal: During my mission, a weird black fire appeared, and then disappeared, do you have any idea what is that?.
Joaquin: Wait, REALLY? THAT'S BAD, THAT IS A BAD OMEN.
Opal: R-R-REALLY?.
Joaquin: Nah, I don't think so, some chemicals could alter the color of fire, like copper or salt.
Opal: Ugh, don't scare me like that!
Joaquin: (Chuckles) Sorry sorry! I will make your weapon extra durable!
Opal: ... Where are those other two?
Joaquin: Ah, you mean Eric and Alice? Eric is fishing near Ironport, and Alice is around Maka asking him to finish the art piece he is working on.
Opal: I didn't know Maka draw
Joaquin: you should take a look at it, you should check his work sometime. Alright I should get back to my work, see ya later Opal if you need me I will be in this room
Opal: Sure, good job!
Joaquin closed the door and went back to his chamber, grabbed the unfinished weapon, and began to increase its temperature with his bare hands and a little bit of magma magic, and thus the hammering began once again.
Joaquin: One! .- He raised the hammer-. Two! .- He strikes with the hammer the red-hot ingot-.
He repeated this process plenty of times until it was finished, he submerged the still red-hot blade, in oil, a process used to harden the metal. He contemplated his creation, created with a special home-made alloy of ores and iron, a sword with a light blue tone, amazed at how much his skills grew, he took one of his best sharpening stones and began to polish the magnificent sword, after several minutes of sharpening, he tested the sword sharp with his own arm, making a clean-cut, like if it were a perfect wound, which he later cauterized and bandaged.
Joaquin: I will call it "Assurance". Now, onto the battle-ax!
He opened a chest, near the furnace filled with raw ores, materials, and plenty of ingots, which he grabbed various of each, and a red-vibrant stone. They all melted due to his magma magic generating from the palms of his hands, he mixed all the materials and created a new type of alloy, that he started hammering, red sparks would fly out of it with every strike
Joaquin: One! - Two! - One! - Two!
This new alloy was extremely durable and strong, hard to shape, with every hit, the axe was taking form, whenever the temperature lowered he just had to hold it between his hands and use his magic, creating tiny breaks between every set of hammering.
Minutes passed, and became hours, hours of extreme hammering until it was done, the axe was big, with a double side head, and a crimson-like color.
Joaquin: (sweating and heavy breathing)I wi- will cal- call it "Void Crusader"
After polishing the axe and tested it he realized that the wound hurt even after cauterizing it, yet the clean was cut like hot butter.
Joaquin: Ah it still hurts, I should bath, I sweated a lot.
The moment he opened the door, steam shot out in all directions, the temperature of the hall and the room had a very clear difference.
Joaquin: Oh, dang, I guess I overheated
Opal: Joaquin! What the hell happened there!
Joaquin: It happens when I get too into my work, I can control the temperature of the magma, but not of the room.
Buck: Joaquin!
Joaquin: Buck? when did you arrive!
Buck: Recently, I got some nice hide and leather
Joaquin: that is great and all, but can you shoot me a beam of water?
Buck: What?
Joaquin: Trust me, I need it
Buck: Alright? Ocean cannon!
Buck shot a beam right into Joaquin's chest, creating a massive steam screen
Buck: ??? What the hell?
Joaquin: Ah, it feels great, sorry I overheated my body, it happens to heat-based users when they use magic lots of time in a tiny space
Opal: This is the first time I've heard that
Buck: Same
Joaquin: Aight, tell Orion I'm sorry but I will have to take 1 day more off, then we would be ready
Buck: Why?
Joaquin: I'm out of energ- .- he collapsed in the floor-.
Buck & Opal: Joaquin!
Orion appeared thru the main door, in just that moment.
Orion: The hell happened
Buck: Opal take Joaquin to his room I will explain Orion
Opal: Alrighty
Assurance: Long sword, Two-handed blade, with a faint blue, made with an unfinished alloy bar, which was supposed to be a shield, but Joaquin trashed the idea, due to shields being more difficult to correctly make
Void Crusader: Battle Axe, Two-handed axe, with a vibrant red tone, done with a freshly made alloy bar, it is believed the red stone, was, in fact, an uncut ruby which special magic goes thru, making wounds hurt even after hours.
