Kyla was hard at work. A noble had requested a great sword for a sum that almost made Kyla drool her way to the forge when she returned.
However the metal he had given her and requested the sword be made from was proving to be extremely difficult and soon the large sum became more and more reasonable. After finally shaping and heating it she was finally satisfied with how it turned out.
She moved to quench the blade gaping the glowing hot metal with her tongs before.
"KYLA!" The yell made her drop the blade to the ground. She chased after it with a stream of curses and obscenities flowing from her mouth as she quickly scooped up the blade and dropped it into the water barrel with a hiss and a sudden large puff of steam.
"KYLA!" came the yell again as a young elfin girl no older than 8 came running up to her forge with tears flowing.
"What!?" Kyla snapped viciously through gritted teeth stopping the girl in her tracks as she shrank back in fear Kyla chided herself for not checking who it was before she snapped.
When she had found Skyla the poor girl had been running through the forest for days with no food. Her cute and undoubtedly expensive dress torn to ribbons from thorns and branches. A pack of wolves had been eating her.
A chunk from her hip and shoulder and one must have gotten a hold of her right leg for a moment as that had been shredded as well. There was so much blood Kyla thought she had scared off the wolves to bury a corpse. But as she had drawn near...
A breath...A a simple intake of air a slight twitch as she began to try and rise. Tears flowed mixing with her blood as she had raised a hand to Kyla. Through the gurgling and between sobs she had heard a simple plea.
"H-help me...Please...Everything hurts...I dont want to die....Please..." That had been hard. Cradling the child in her arms as she sprinted through the woods.
"Send word to Miria. Tell her I need her now." She had said as a large shadow passed over her head. With a blood curdling screech it tore off to do as she asked. It had been touch and go from there, but Miria was a great healer. She had pulled through and she had been Kyla's little shadow ever since. She was fragile though and easily scared even by Kyla.
"I-I'm sorry sky..." She said soothingly sinking down to one knee to be more on her level. "Now come here and tell me whats wrong.." She said gently beckoning her over. The girl ran to her with blonde hair flailing behind her as she dove into Kylas arms. She calmed for a moment as her thoughts returned to what had scared her. "I-I saw something in the woods..It was a monster..." She said finally. "I see.." She said with a slight sigh of relief. All the same she whistled and a black shadow seemed to flash through the air before landing on her shoulder. The terrorhawk nipped her ear affectionately.It was a massive entirely black hawk but rather than shrinking away the girl stroked her lovingly. "Oh! Hi Mi-Mi!" Sky said with a grin. Mi-Mi then nipped her finger lovingly and then took to the sky. Scanning the surrounding woods for anything that shouldnt be there while Kyla carried sky into her forge where she sat and watched her work waiting for Mi-Mi's return.
