To The Gods

Shorn's ship settled down in Olympus in a spray of repulsor wash. The white-armored Templar emerged from the cockpit and looked around with piercing blue eyes. Tycho scratched his beard. He'd thought the entire planet had been burnt by the Fringe and their dragon after Zaiden pissed off the High Council. Apparently there had been a period of reconstruction.

He walked over to the forge where the other Templars seem to be gathering. His hand rested easily on the hilt of his Sith sword as he waited to see what the others would do.
 
Krest moved his way instantly towards where Sno had pointed. He had every intention to learn as soon as possible to make his own blade later on. He payed little heed to the others, focused entirely on the subject at hand.

Daemos raised a hand to pause the guards that approached the late comer, being well versed in both hand to hand as well as crowd control required little mention of his teachings by the ex Emperor Voracitos - they simply werent required by him. But he understood them, and their need to keep peace; such as an unwarranted guest that arrived after the others.

Turning he nodded to the new comers, "Sno sent message that i am to complete the process of teaching you all how to enhance metals, as seeing you all here i take this to be a learning experience as well. I do know how to complete the process you seek, just not as well. Basically im here to help with the initial construct, my partner will be here to finish the rest afterward.

"To get started, on the table over there beside the furnace youll find several durasteel ingots. With these we will begin shaping the blades. We need to super heat the metals, then begin the molding effect. This can be completed easily, the last step being hardest. I seek to teach you to purify the force energies contained within the metals, make them stronger and more durable. You will then fuse the blade with the Force itself when combined with an Energy Crystal placed within the hilt.

"Its more difficult then it sounds. As you work, you will need to become one with the Force. Then you will do the same with the sword, once you all are properly attuned with your blades we can move on.

"Begin." With that, Daemos returned to his process. The last item he made as a mandalorian would be his greatest yet, "But again, you will need to channel the force through yourself as you perform each strike. Be prepared, it is difficult even for Knights."

Krest moved over to the flame, picking up one of the durasteel ingots. He steps over to the furnace, setting the metal into the furnace. He knew the basics about shaping metal itself, but to do so with the force would be something new indeed. He took the now liquid durasteel to a mold, pouring it in. It didn't take long for the metal to cool enough for the Zabrak to use tongs and move it to an anvil. There, he picked up his hammer.

And now the hard part..

He heated the metal over the furnace before placing it back on the anvil. He focused the force on the tip of his hammer, then slammed it down. His whole form rippled with the force, and it shocked the Zabrak. This was certainly a new experience, and one he liked. He continued slamming his hammer, everything else in his mind gone. He was tempering the metal now, heating it only to a pale blue. When the crystals aligned, the metal would be flexible. If he could make the whole blade like that, he would temper the edges to be hard. With the flexible core and the hard edges the blade would neither shatter nor bend. Or so Krest hoped.

The Zabrak would continue on, his brow knitted with concentration. Everyone else would be blocked out until he was finished.

I looked over to the others as they began to work. Clearly this was something they had done before. Where as I knew little to nothing about smithing, or even inventing items. Sure I could make a spear from rock and wood, but nothing as regal as this. WIth the man's last words. I walked up to him and nodded my head. Talking in a shish way. "I'm sorry, but I know almost nothing about how to make a blade. Or anything else for that matter. And was wondering if you could teach me?" If I knew how to make one of these blades, then possibly I could transfer this over to armor, or other such items that would be considered rare.

Daemos sighed, holding back a snide comment, "Very well. Grab those tongs there, use them to grip the ingot. Place it in the furnace for a moment, all the while concentrating on the metal with the very Force itself. Lose yourself in the process, and as you feel yourself becoming one with the Force, bring the metal with it.

"Once its heated properly, withdraw the mass quickly, lay it on an anvil and hammer away. Again, as stated, allow yourself to flow with the Force as you hammer your intents into the very essence of the weapon. At that point, whether you energize the weapon with a crystal at that point, you can still claim the weapon as a part of yourself. It would respond to your very urges.

"After you have the blade, we will add a crystal of your choosing to the hilt which will then be connected to the blade. When that is finished you will simply connect yourself through the force to your blade, than you will bring the crystal through the brink and into connection as well. In the end, just as a saber, your blade will ignite with energy upon coaxing from yourself." Having finished his explanation he returned to his work. Yes he had just given the secret away without yet having gotten payment, this did not instill any form of fear. There were enough guards in the building to bring himself and the rest down, as well as two adequate Knights whom would fight to protect that which they laid claim to.

Krest continued to slam down his hammer, focused intently on that. For the moment it was working, and working well. He understood the process, but when he finished shaping the blade it suddenly shattered. Krest stared blankly at the shattered blade's hilt before setting it down. He turned, nodding to @Lord Daemon. "I understand the process. But I need more practice. With the knowledge I can do this on my own. Thank you."

The Zabrak moved his way out, but not before paying. Knight wages were certainly enough to cover this venture. Krest stepped out of the building. He had what he needed, now he just needed to perfect it.
 
I nodded my head and allowed my mind to absorb the information that he was giving me. I nodded my head as the man's words ended. I nodded my head and grabbed the tongs. I knew which side to grab by the black covered end would be in the flames while the silver handed porton be in my hands. Gripping it and placing the ingot into the fires of the furnace that was closest to me. I waited there only a few moments as the immense heat melted the durasteel ingot to be malleable. As I did so, I allowed myself to flow with the force. My mind was empty except for the thought of surviving, and wanting to rise from the ashes.

I could feel a large pool of energy that was everywhere. I could feel everything around me. I could feel the man as his thoughts ranged from that of one place to another. I then allowed myself to focus on my work. Letting my mind flow into the ingot as it became a red color. Even as I pulled out the ingot, I pushed with the force wanting, willing, wishing the blade to form in the right way for me. As though it were a second nature to me, I could feel as my hammer came down on the ingot. Flattening it, shaping it to how I wanted the blade. As it slowly became a dull orange color, I had not noticed that the ingot was flat and rather long. No where near the shape of any sword that I wanted, I stuck it back into the fire once more. THis time, I wanted to push harder.

Walking to the furnace I let my body stand inches from the flames that were almost white hot. I pressed myself into the blade. Once more wishing for it to be as I imagined. Once more, I brought the shaped ingot out, and slammed on it more. Forming the blade by folding it over itself, making it thicker then thinner, Shaping it to be only a few inches wide. Pounding it into what looked like a flattened bar about two feet long, and a few inches wide. it was no where near complete. I continued to do this. not wanting to mess up.

Daemos continued to hammer the metal, the banging rising in timber to cascade throughout the building. Beskar was one of the heaviest metals in existence, it would need an exceptional amount of working. It wouldn't be a simple process, but it was still one he worked with pride. The force flowed through his body extensively, making his cells tingle and vibrate.

With each blow, the connection to his newest weaponry grew more. Before long it would be time to simply finish the crafting and add the crystal, but for now he simply continued. Wiping his brow was the longest he paused for the time, then finally the first was finished. Gripping it with his mental prowess, he carried it to the nearby pool of water where it would be super cooled nearly instantly.

Turning on his heal he stepped away from the position and moved back to the nearby table. Gripping another hefty slab of the metal, he carried it to the furnace where he used his mind to hold it over the burning flames. In this time he thought of his intents for the weapon, with it he would be one step closer to being adequate to stand by his Master once again. Watching as the metal began to glow, bubbling on its surface, he smiled. A dark twist of the lips that would leave one fearful upon sight of such a display.

Then the galaxy would tremble.

Returning to the present, the massive man moved back to his anvil and once more began the process. His breathing was now becoming more labored, while his body gleaned with sweat. The way he did it was tiring, more so then the initial process itself, but it was faster.

I poured my heart, mind, and soul into the blade. Shaping it with the force, and hammer as one. With each strike I pushed harder and harder. I could feel my body drain. I felt weak, and lightheaded. I wanted to just lay down and take a nap. NO! I yelled at myself within my mind. I needed to continue on until I was done. I was not simply going to stop just because of my tired mind. If I was to complete this. I needed to do it now.

As the blade was once more becoming a dull orange for what seemed the millionth time, I placed it into the furnace for one final heating. I wanted to shape it slowly and correctly. I paid no heed to the time in which it took. For I counted not in seconds or minutes but not at all. My arm hurt like it has never before. I felt as though I could not lift the hammer again, let alone the bar of durasteel that was being forged into a blade. Recalling the man's words, I would now need a crystal when finished. What crystal I may have. Walking to @[member="Lord Daemos"] I spoke. "Do you have any spare crystals that I may use for my blade? If you do I can pay you for them."

As I asked, I was waiting for my own blade to heat back up to where I could work the finer parts and make the actual edges and spine. After the blade was sharpened, and put together, I would hope to use this crystal to aid in my use of my life.

"Yes. Sno is going to gather a variety, however if you have one in mind we can check inventory." Daemos said in reply to the mans questioning. Nearby, in his satchel, lay his own duo Dantari crystals. Both of which were hand selected on Dantooine by himself. Once more returning to the crafting, he began to bend the metal as he had with the first. In the end he would have two similarly curving blades, similar to that of a scythe but downgraded. They would be small and swift, as he had been for so long.

The tempo of the clanging could probably be heard for miles, for as one moved themselves to be one with the Force, their bodies accepted the influence down to the very cellular level. Each blow would mar the metal, forcing a beings very will into the hardened surface.

When this sickle was finished as well, it too went into the nearby water. Boiling water and steam sounded behind himself as he went to the furnace once more, this time he reached for a nearby mold. Once the metal was heated properly, it would be rolled then applied to the molds before being cooled. In time a chain of undetermined length would be crafted, with each ending link bearing a hefty bearing roughly the size of his fist (hes huge though).

As the humongous man stared into the super heated flames, he couldnt help but smile. Soon, soon it would be finished. Then his arsenal would be one step closer to completion - the final being the Cortosis Sword he planned to make before Alchemically Enhancing it to never break.

Wiping his brow as he shifted on his feet, he reached forward to the metal with his mental abilities. Bending the metal into small loops he began hooking them to each other inside of the mold.

Every fiber of the mans being throbbed and vibrated, his eyes shone a swirling gorgeous mass of black and acidic gold, all proof of the connection he bore with the Force. Twining his own essence into the living entity, he bore it into the links one by one as he went. The metal began to even shine its own magnificent glow, another added proof of his effect on the very molecular construct of the alloy as it was heated by flames nearing the equivalent of the surface of a sun.

Beskar was impossibly dense and difficult to mold for the masses, only one of a great capability and intellect alike is required. Even then, you must narrow the number further to that of capable smiths. Once more a reduction is required, to those few genuinely adept smiths that spread the cosmos, that is the few whom knew of how to smith such metals like Beskar and make it effective in whatever form can come to mind. Daemos liked to think of himself in those few, having multiple decades of utilizing such metals in his craft - his art many would protest - under his belt.

Slowly withdrawing the chains from the heat he set them into the cooling waters - which at this point was negotiable on cooling properties which led to a momentary pause to utilize his control over the molecules in the waters, slowing them immensely until it was nearly ice water. Then as the links were cooling he realized he forgot one step to his process. The bearings; he didnt have a mold for the actual metals to settle in while they cooled.

Moving towards the door, Daemos signaled to the guards from earlier to watch the room - something he hardly trusted which explained his haste as he past the door frame. Loud claps sounded as he passed a few doors, then took a left down the near hall. Soon he found himself in a massive storage room, filled for near as far as they could see with different alloys and crystals, other odds and ends could be found as well. Reaching into a bin, the man drew forth a large slab of durasteel. As he turned on his heel, a slight yet swift gust of wind carried a chisel to his outstretched hand.

Many would claim him using the Force to much, but he could always counter with a single truth; in a manner he didnt understand, when he was one with the Force as he smithed, his power seemed driven by the very energy source itself - the only limitations he found was that of his body if errors occured. They rarely did, but every so often his body succumbed to burns or the like and he was forced to falter in his work.

Nodding to the guards as he began to approach the room once more, he watched them pass bare seconds before he found his destination once more. Going directly towards the furnace he held the newest block in the furnace, while also checking on the near liquid property of the Beskar he had left in there prior - this would be the alloy he slowly poured into the mold then set into the water to cool. It was bubbling on the surface, a good sign but not signaling it being ready just yet.

As the flames licked and hissed at the durasteel he once more gazed into the white glow, his eyes had long ago adjusted to the shine. When the steel began to loosen and prove itself near rubbery, he pulled it forth. Setting it on the anvil he began to hollow the metal out with the chisel he grabbed earlier.

It didnt take nearly as much effort to work the weaker of the alloys, but he took every bit as much care to do so. Every pull took out small hunks of half liquified metal, which he set to the side. Many would use a different method to make the mold, different materials or other such variables being altered, but in this way he was able to recycle the mold afterward and place it back in storage upon its final completion.

Roughly ten minutes passed, but he couldnt be sure as his mind was solely on his oneness with the Force and his works. But finally the mold was cooled and ready.

Returning to the heat and roar of the furnace, the large man that worked such beautiful creations, smiled at the now liquified Mandalorian Iron. Drawing the bowl forth he poured it slowly into the mold which rested inside the pool of water. Once cooled the design would bear his initials, as well as a triangle that bore broken corners, inside of which held the sign of the Sith. It was a symbol he created many decades ago, as tribute to the power of the Darkside and its pulls as well as the necessity for a calm mind, sound body, and true spirit.

When he left that bit of the project for a moment, he stepped back to draw forth the Kama - the name dubbed on the mini scythe like blades. Spinning them loosely back and forth along his palm, he smiled in utter satisfaction at the perfect balance applied to both ends as he had sought.

Reaching out to the nearby table he grabbed his satchel and reached inside. Gripping the two small crystals, he drew them forth and held them to the light. According to the records of uses of the Dantari prior, he could optimize the ability draw energy from battle into himself - an effect which would be truly useful for one such as himself.

Holding one to each of the small holes bore into the side of the hilts, he nodded in satisfaction to find they fit perfectly. Once more drawing himself as deeply as he could into the Force, he had barely any challenge to bring the blade into his essence as he had already done so, but now he also brought the crystal into the now triune effect. Meditating on the very core of each object, himself the blades and the crystals, he sat diligent for quite some time. Never did his thoughts surface, his muscles remained statue still, the perfect essence of combination.

After a time there began to be heard a soft hum, from which grew a deeper thrum of solid energy that enveloped the blades. A solid grin began to cross his face, the effect was complete. The Beskar in these blades alone made them nigh unbreakable, but to boot they had the added source energy that now made it cut like a lightsaber.

After hooking the blades to the chains he added each bearing and looped the first to hook on his left hip. The second he held by the hilt, the chain mid way in the other. Spinning the bearing loosely in a circular motion next to himself for a second, he readied himself then launched into motion. Planting his right foot he extended his left upward and wrapped the chain around his bent knee, to which he fully let his leg stretch, causing the bearing to loosen and reverse motion back around at high velocity towards the wall where his leg kicked at. After the successful crunch of the bearing crashing into the metal, he nodded.

His job was a success.
