    Midge found she actually enjoyed telling Nosdyn about her adventures, it made her feel very worldly and smart and important. As Asel banged away at her forge she didn't really need her translator, so the pixie was free to do as she wished. Midge flitted to Lady Ellsa's shoulder. "So... you...

    Midge was not used to being asked questions, not real questions, anyway. Usually they were "what are you, what is that that thing," or "how much for this sword." She was unexpectedly at a loss for words, and it took her a few moments to collect her thoughts. "Well... uh... there's a lot other...

    Asel clacked her mandibles in gratitude that her craft was acceptable. Then, with another small buzz of her oversized wings, she turned back to the forge. She had more ore to shape, more experiments to run. Midge swirled around her head and back to the blue orc pair. "She'll be at this for a...

    Midge lead the group above ground and just a few dozen yards from the entrance to Asel's makeshift forge. The bee was still moving around excitedly, stoking the flames with one set of arms while pushing the bellows with the other. She could hear the group approaching, and motioned for them to...

    Asel was filled with a buzzing excitement, both literally and figuratively, as she set up her forge. She did not have her full toolset with her, that would have been far too much for even her to transport, but she had enough. A plethora of metal instruments were splayed out and a forge was set...

    Midge hovered as Elsa spoke, bobbing up and down and side to side like a fidgety child trying to listen but also not wanting to sit still. The tale wasn’t entirely unlike her relationship to Asel. It wasn’t all that similar... but it had enough parallels to make her think about it. When Nosdyn...

    Asel observed Nosdyn's demonstration of a more proper stance and, sure enough, the task was much simpler after that. Her wings buzzed once in delight as she became more comfortable with it, it was not so dissimilar from hammering at a forge! The ringing of iron was replaced by the clink of...

    It was a cryptic response, and one that Asel did not truly understand, but it was response enough. Perhaps he was being secretive about his discovery or his sources. It would make sense if the material were truly as powerful as he claimed, and he didn't know Asel well enough to trust her. Her...

    It was all very exciting, and not just because of the pretty lights. An ore of fire? It didn't seem possible, or even probable, but here it was and that was good enough. How would The Wax affect it, she wondered? The Wax, the secret of her art, a substance made only by her race, it was the...

    Asel's face was impassive, although she did give a few soft clicks from her mandibles. Whether it was an acknowledgment of Nosdyn's greeting was unclear. Midge made their introductions briefly but otherwise had grown uncharacteristically quiet. Perhaps the pixie finally felt a little concerned...

    Asel was a smith, not a miner. She was highly skilled at working ore into fantastic shapes and deadly purpose, but she did not dig her materials from the ground. Given her relative success, it was more efficient to simply buy the materials she needed. Indeed, many rare metals were scattered...

    Midge looked as though the stupidity of Glasha’s statement was going to make her sick, but her attention was gained by Lily before she could figure out a retort. Asel turned and took a few steps closer at Lily’s inquiries, her wings flickered. ”Huh? Oh yeah. Well prong-face got that right...

    Open Chronicles A Festival of Coins and Crops

    The music outside had quieted and the crowd dispersed. Midge seemed a little disappointed, and Asel had hoped that a greater number of them might find their way to her. No matter, the festival would go on for a long time, and she had some particularly eye-catching designs in mind that she could...

    Open Chronicles A Festival of Coins and Crops

    The forge was only semi-enclosed, having a crude roof erected on a few study beams with a large hole for the smoke to pass through. The rest was lined with tables and a few shelves, so it was easy to hear the music and festivities from the outside. A large crowd had begun to gather just a short...

    Open Chronicles Along for the ride

    Midge looked aghast at Glasha's question, and the slew of insults and vulgarities she was about to unleash was so potent that Asel could feel them building in her mind before they were ever spoken. She gave a twitch of an antenna, and a short buzz of her wings and Midge turned to her, looking...
