Forge Three - (Audio/Action)

Bloody fairies never manage to get things right, do they?

[Like many, Gendry received his boon two days ago, but he hasn't gotten any closer to making proper use of it. Oh sure, walking back and forth through a set of mirrors is a jolly experience, but it's a pain in the ass if they're both in the same room. Though he won't deny he did have a bit of fun setting them across each other and walking through the portal over and over. But! That's not what he'd wanted!]

Seems if you want something decent, you've got to be specific. Seven hells... [He has no choice! He must do the unthinkable:] Stiles, you still about?

[Yes. He must ask STILES for help. That most dreaded of occurrences! Sure, there might be other people who could teleport him from Cothromach to Troichean Beinn in a blink of the eye. But those are other people and Gendry's faith in other people is roughly equivalent to his faith in this war ending amicably. If he's called a suspicious bastard, then it is a one hundred perfect accurate description of him.

But the locket is still in his hand and he realizes he's addressing both courts at large. Damn.]


... just, be careful about your boons, eh? The fairies like to be stingy, if you let them. [There. He's done the community at large a favor.]


[At the Cothromach]

backdated to 26th
When Gendry wasn't in his room messing about with a set of magic mirrors, he was hard at work at one of the forges. Though he wasn't officially apprenticing at any of the shops, one of the master smiths had agreed to hire Gendry on while he was in the city. So that meant keeping busy as he hammered tirelessly at some new sword. His Shard ached as he drew on its power to give superhuman blows. It was hard work and the sword wouldn't even be his, but he now knew enough about dwarven magic that he could finally give his uncle a good and strong sword. This is what he'd been doing ever since the battle had ended and he'd at last turned his work to other projects. This item was now nearly done and by evening, after he'd honed it to a razor's edge, he would find his uncle's home in the Cothromach to come knocking.

27th
After his message on the lockets, Gendry left to be at his normal routine. He was living in the Keeper's tower now and so he would eat his first and last meals of the day there. Other hours would see him in the market, working at one of the forges earning his wages by small commissions of tools or shoeing horses. Hardly work for an apprentice of Bordan Gret, but he did not seem to mind this simpler work. For those looking to find him or simply anyone in the city looking for goods, he was an easy man to find. His grumbling about boons aside, he was in as good a mood as he could be expected to be in.

The castle or the sun?

[Because you were getting pasty, Gendry. Pasty and pale and... pasty.]

You know, no one's keeping you locked indoors. You can... go out. And stuff. If you want.

[Subtle: You should get outside more. Stop playing video games, Gendry.]

Yeah, but I can pop over here with my own mirrors. I have a set that goes to my workshop so I can still practice safely, but don't have to worry about blowing up Coth.

[Stiles might find time to drag Gendry out, especially if he had a pass there.]

......What? Surely not. Surely that's not possible. It's true at least that the mainland kingdoms all descend from one royal family, but the Lienid at least are strange and isolated enough never to—all seven? Since when?

Dragons.

[ ... ]

Gendry. I don't think our seven kingdoms are the same.

Well, yeah, but the workshop I have in Glaem is warded. It was one of the first things I asked for after I woke up all magicified. Didn't want to cause any earthquakes or set things on fire while I was figuring stuff out, so that's why I wanted a way there from Coth. Keeps everyone safe.

Welcome to my world. Lots of people live in one city and wind up working in another because of the cost of living. Though, we don't have fancy teleportation, so...

[Or maybe he'd just get more frustrated at metal machines flying around in the sky carrying hundreds of people.]

In my bag.

[And with that, he opened the pouch and stuck his hand in. Then his arm. He looked more than a little ridiculous with no arm and a tiny pouch, but he eventually pulled it out, rolled-up carpet in hand.]

Here we go.

You've seen it working before, Gen. It's not like it's allergic to you and will just fall because you put your blacksmith ass on it.

[He unrolled it, snapping it open and letting go to let it drop. It stopped a foot from the ground, hovering and rising until it was at the three foot mark, which was general 'resting' mode.]

Jon trusts it. Arya's been on it. Robb... was dragged onto it kicking and screaming, but hey, it got him to Coth.

I don't know. Unless there's some explanation I'm missing or we're so far apart for time, but I've not heard of dragons existing anywhere on land or sea.

[He waited until Gendry was on to climb on himself, taking hold of the control magically and levitating the carpet up higher.]

Oh, you know, generally high enough that we can get over the mountains.

[It was with no small bit of pleasure that he smirked and put the carpet into drive mode, going into a medium pace for starters to see how well Gendry fared with it before he'd pick it up more.]

[He looked back and saw Gendry looking like he wanted to throw up. Or maybe he'd pass out. The carpet wasn't a tiny throw rug, Gendry. Geez. Suck it up.]

I've been thinking about installing holders. Like, little things for people to hold onto, but it might get in the way if people want to lay down. Go on. Spread out. I'll wake you when we get there. I just don't want you puking on my carpet.
