Chapter 12 - The old man and the forge

John was really happy but also grateful to the smith because he gave him such good materials. He turned around and saw the old smith with a complexion like a ghost and sweating in a corner of the forge.

Even a child could see that the old man was seriously ill.

"Hey gramps hang in there i get a doctor!"

"No Chrome...my Time... has come...I thank ya... for letting me help with a last masterpiece...please take my forge... learn to smith properly... before ya venture on..."

"No Gramps teach me how forge... how could i learn to forge by myself... didn't you see my workpieces they were garbage."

"No ya have a special gift!...The titans...created even... the most useless stones... how could... a weapon from ya be useless?...Please take everything... you need out of my forge... and could you do me a favor?..."

John answered with tears in his eyes:

"I do everything for you!"

"Then please... take the armor... out of my bedroom... and make it to the best equipment...possible ..."

As he said that the old man took his last breath and died with a peaceful smile on his face.

John with tears in his eyes thought to himself that he gonna give the old smith the best burial he could achieve!

So John took a rough birch branch and some steel and started forging. Several of his tears dropped on the steel as he was forging it first he made a shovel and the a cross out of Steel.
