Xerel was getting more used to talking. He wasn't the talkative type. "I'm doing well... This is a nice looking castle you have..." He was trying his hardest to keep his statements short. Before she was able to answer back, she turned her attention to David.
"A blacksmith? I've never met a blacksmith before." Jess sounded excited about the thought. She loved meeting new people. "Where would he be?"

[Lucky]

"Yes he is quiet an interesting fellow." David laughed and began to lead his guests out the door toward the town below. Ulura followed quickly and Edward lingered behind in the castle muttering to himself. The group went down to the excited streets of the town and stopped in front of a house with an open air workshop. "He lives here", David said as he knocked on the door lightly.

The door suddenly was rammed from the inside, followed by an arrow poking out of one section as if it was shot....
"Oh god....I hope that didn't go through..." Was heard mumbled from inside.
"Oh good....it didn't go past the door, I thought it was gonna kill someo-..." Was stated before someone opened the door holding a newly made mechanical crossbow and staring at the people outside....

[ninjastorm45]

Jess was frozen solid. "Umm... That arrow came really close to hitting us..." She was wide-eyed as she kept a constant stare.

Xerel didn't even jump when the arrow hit the door. "Hello..." It seemed as if he didn't even notice the arrow that was shot through the door.

Nervously, the blacksmith was holding the crossbow behind him with both hands. His stance was awkward from seeing so many people at once.
He was looking at the ground, shocked that something he was testing almost killed someone he didn't even know.
"..." was the only thing he was able to respond with...

[Lucky]

"Well that was exciting!" David laughed as he opened the door more. "Just what I'd expect from my friend." He leaned into the door so everyone could see. "This is Smithy." Ulura moved to the front of the group and hugged Smithy. She was very affectionate to people she tolerated. "How are you doing? Is this a new invention of yours?" She asked excitedly as she pulled way from Smithy. She knew he always tinkered with weapons.

[Deleted]

"y-yeah..."he stuttered
"..I-I've been making....many new ones" He stated nervously.
"long time no see...." He stated quietly as he moved back into the house and put the crossbow (after unloading) an a stand with various other weapons...

[ninjastorm45]

Xerel walks over to the table and observes the weapons that the smithy had laid out. "Impressive work..." He puts his hand over a small dagger. "May I?" Xerel seemed interested in the weapons.

Jess walks over the Xerel and pulls him back. "We're not here to look at knives Xerel. We're here to meet David's friend." She whispers this into Xerel's ear so no one else will hear. She turns the the smithy and holds out her hand. "I'm Jess, nice to meet you."

[Lucky]

David smiled as everyone became acquainted. "Well now that we know everyone why don't we head back up to the castle, Smithy you can come too," he added. They had been there for a short time but David knew how dangerous untested weapons where, just look at the door! He figured Smithy might not want observes around his creations while they where unstable. David had figured that he could get them all to the castle for a tour then they'd be off to bed.

[Deleted]

"I'd....I'd like to go to the castle..." Qalnrok stated quietly. "I...I haven't been to the castle in a while.."

[Lucky]

"Well Lets head up!" David led the group back up to the castle occassionally stopping and showing the group the senery. Then they where back where they started and the group seemed to settle in. David continued his hosting of the party and seemed to be as charming as ever. Edward had disappeared from the main hall while David entertained the group.

[ninjastorm45]

Xerel looked around the main hall. He notices that Edward was gone. He whispers this information into Jess' ear.

Jess is shocked by what Xerel says. "David, where is Edward? He was here when we left..."

[Lucky]

David shrugged. "He was here a minute ago. Oh well he must be with the adults." The sun soon faded and everyone was off to bed. David began to walk back to the library but he went to bed instead. It would be best to wait until to marrow when everyone was occupied with the festival.

[Deleted]

Qalnrok was going back home. He didn't want to overstep his welcome.
When he arrived home, he noticed the door's lock was broken open.
He swung the door open fast, and an arrow was shot right across his face, skiding across his cheek, from the inside of his house.
"You, crazy one, it's time you left town..." Was said from the inside.
Qalnrok didn't hear him say anything, he was distracted by the blood slowly coming from his cheek.
A wild look came into his eyes as he took his shield, removed the edge covering, and threw it like a frisbee in a blink of an eye.

The next morning someone would be missing from the city, and lot's of blood spilt.

[ninjastorm45]

Jess went straight to bed. She was very tired from the day she had.

Xerel waited for the others to go to bed. When the rest were asleep he got up and went onto the balcony. He sat on the side and looked out on the city. He sighed. "I really have to get out of here as soon as possible... Jess means well... but I'm far to dangerous to be near any people..." He said this quietly to himself.
