Ash Returned to the market and went to buy some resources to start learning forging and machanics.
Ash went into a general resource center.
There was a blonde headed 16 year old girl manning the shop.
Ash grabbed iron ingots
"I would like to buy these"
"Uh- I- wha- nevermind 80 silver"
"Here"
Ash handed her 85 silver and left.
Ash then proceeded to a tool shop and grabbed a set of hammer, a set of chisels, tongs, tweezers, and a set of screwdrivers
"I would like to purchase these"
At the counter was a burly man
"76 gold"
Ash put 76 gold and 5 silver on the counter before turning to leave
"I wouldn't focus on two crafts, word of advice"
"Thanks for the advice"
Ash then finally went to a mechanics store
Strangely the shop was run by a gnome
Ash then gathered some gears, tubing, springs, metal bits, and screws
"Ah you must be a newbie to mechanics"
"I am"
"That's good, there are few youngins focusing on a craft and not being delinquents"
"Thank you"
"40 Gold"
"Ok"
Ash then put the gold on the table and left
"Strange furry childeren, must be my eye acting up again"
Ash the left the market and Returned to the home to find it empty so in lack of company she took a nap and by the time she woke up it was late evening.
As she left the room she went to the kitchen to find Arya had made dinner and they are before heading back to bed.
The next day Iko got everyone up
"Time to start our journey again guys"
"I'm up"
"Ahhh"
Arya was still half asleep.
After a little while they were heading down the trail with guards in tow and Ash shifted into Siln form getting some shocked looks.
"How good are you in combat Iko"
"I am journeyman level in swordsmanship and have a talent for enhancing my body using solar energy"
"Ah"
"I am seen as quite the prodigy back home"
"That's nice"
After that they continued walking and Ash started tinkering with small parts
at first Ash had trouble even understanding the theory behind machanics but after experimenting and reading the mastery book she started to get it after a 12 hours of experimenting she finally created something that worked and she was proud enough of.
It was set of gears to turn a metal sphere and the sphere was attached to to tubes and these tubes were connect to some more gears that would turn the tubing to stop the flow of a liquid that would be in the sphere.
[Would you like to spend 100 points of energy to bring life to your creation?]
"Ummm I guess"
After saying this the gears started moving without a power source and fire started to come out of the metal sphere garnering a reaction from everyone.
"What is happening"
"What is that"
Everyone had a similar reaction but Ash focused only on object.
The fire started to come out of the tubes and the entire thing started to fly in the air.
"Hello creator"
"how do you know my language"
"I learn your language during my creation"
"Oh"
"Thank you for creating me, but what is my purpose"
"You don't have one but you can follow me for now"
"hmmm, thank you"
"Guys just don't worry about this and ignore it"
After a while they reached a small village
After they arrived they entered a small inn.
Iko started the conversation
"Me and my companions need lodging for the night"
"It will 20 silver for rooms or 50 silver for rooms and meals, this is the total for all of you"
"Thank you, here"
Iko handed her 50 silvers
" meals will be brought up"
Everyone went up to their a signed rooms.
Ash went to her room followed by her weird creation, they remained in silence in till dinner.
"Creator whatami"
"If it was before I would say a lose collection of parts, now though I say you are a living being that can make its own choices!"
"Thank you creator"
"I think I will soon search for a purpose , alone"
"Its your choice, it always is"
After that they went to bed too tired to continue talking.
In the middle of the night a masked man could be seen leaving the inn and entering an alley way after a few minutes a second masked man apeared.
"They will go into position two days from now and also prepare for a large wolf to attack it is a lifebound beast"
"Goood, we will make neccasery precautions, good work you will be fully rewarded after the war"
"I will be getting back"
without a word the second masked man disapeared and the first followed suit, sneaking back into the inn undetected.
