Creation of the leggings

It had been three months since her talk to Balder. Instead of writing to Balder with the measurements, Kara would take her Son to Frostvale to see her "Uncle.

She would enter Balder's Smith shop.


"Hello Balder, I came with Esildur" Kara would say.
(Kara Draconis)


The war was close, the whole army was training for it, preparation of war, made Balder smithy to work non stop, crafting swords and armors by a great speed, while at same time, having a balanced sell to normal adventurer and travelers.

The shop was to the east of Frostvale, where the layers of snow would be more thick, more colder than other parts of town, close to the eastern gates, Balder shop was most of time busy with people inside of it. Though at a special time of day, it would be mostly closed, for the lunch indeed! Leaving the shop silent and peaceful.

Entering to the shop, people would face rows of shelfs full of different objects, from throwing weapon to small weapon and small piece of armors. The wall would be filled with different kind of weapons hanging from them, big and medium sized, they all looked fancy and expensive! Corner of shop, close to window, was placed couple of dummies, which was dressed by different kind of armors, as an example for travelling merchants. The room would be really warm, completely opposite to the cold weather of outside, due to some runes magic being cast over the shop, it was mostly warm.

At the end of shop, was placed a desk and a counter, which behind it, was sitting the giant figure of Balder, with his white hair and roughed face. Behind him was two door, one leading to the upper floor, and one leading to basement.

Balder himself, appeared to be eating onto his lunch, which was a big dish of chicken and meat, with beer and so on, over his body, he was wearing a normal shirt, while had a light armored pants over his lower part of body, and same as always, a headband around his head, with mark of Rosenbergs family over it.

Taking a big bite out of the chicken wind in his hand, Balder came to realize a big shadow just passed through a window in front of him and soon the customer bell over the door would start to ring as the door was opened and a huge figure entered the shop. Swallowing whole wing in one go, Balder would start cleaning his mouth with a piece of cloth as slowly would raise from his seat, to simply tell, that shop is closed, yet came to recognize the figure, which belonged to Kara, and followed by her, was Esildur, now a smile would appear over his face as he would see them.

Balder kind of expected two of them, and knew that they will visit sooner or later, in fact, he was happy they came before the war with Nostalve begin.

"Greetings, and welcome to my shop! I believe you came here for crafting to be done, hmmm? Well them, take your time, let me call up for my servant, have him to prepare the smithy for it. If you want you can come and see the process, but it would take few hours, so if you want still to see it, then I suggest to take your warm cape and cloths off . . . "

His tone was deep and energetic, kind and warm, all those with a smile over his face, made him to look like a big friendly giant! Thus after his words were done he would nod towards the two figure and turn around, walk over the door to right, knock over it as he would call a name, Jack!

Soon a young drakatine appear, and nod towards Balder, a small conversation would happen between them and Jack soon leave for basement, to prepare stuff.

"So, when you was ready, we will go to basement" Said Balder with a smile as he would cross his hands over his chest, and watch the two figure in front of him.

(Balder Rosenberg)


Esildur had entered the shop along with his mother. It was a long and uneventful journey. The only reason he was capable of making the long trip was thanks to his mother’s gravity magic allowing him to fly within the wheelchair alongside her. Once they fully arrived on the area, the child looked around being amazed as the various pieces of armor and equipment that were around. Everything looked quite amazing and it was unnaturally exquisite. It was like nothing the child had seen before, even the normal steel looked better than what he had normally seen and was accustomed to witnessing at the general blacksmiths. The things that a magic blacksmith could create were far beyond the normal. “Woah, look at that mommy.” Esildur stated before hearing the statements offered by Balder. He gave a nod towards the man and rolled his wheelchair over to remove all the armor that he was wearing so that it wouldn’t melt him in the process.

Of course, during this he did not remove the leg armor for various reasons, one of which was the fact that it was an embarrassingly long process that required his absolute attention. Once that was handled he looked over towards Balder and made his way towards him. The youth gave a generous smile, after seeing that Aria had returned to Danarium it wasn’t so hard to do so anymore; even easier with his time with his sister being restored. Regardless, Asura neared his mother once more from within his wheelchair and called out. “Hello Mister Balder!” Excitement was obvious about the boy. Years had passed since his last visit to Frostvale and while he was here surely they would visit his distant family members.

Now that the pleasantries were out the way he posed a question. “So you made all of these by yourself? That’s amazing!” An announcement followed the question as if he already knew the immediate answer behind it all. “Downstairs? Alrighty, I want to see you do it! It sounds really cool.” The little one admitted before rolling his wheelchair over towards Balder. Even as frightening as the giant man was to him, he was more amazed at what the warrior of Frostvale was capable of doing. How could a child not be impressed?
(Esildur N. A. Draconis)


Hearing the excited Esildur words, made Balder to smirk while patting lightly over head of little kid while would title his head a little to right and then grow a wider smile, "Yea, I crafted all of these, but some of them were done by my servants and apprentices!" His tone was warm, as he answered the kid and took a deep breath, but soon before he would use another word, voice of Jack came form basement, calling for him, and with that, he would slowly open door to basement and step over the stairs first, being followed by Kara and Esildur.

If whole shop be a body, then basement surely is heart and brain of it! It was big, just like the shop itself, it had a kind of big forge at end of room, which had pots made of copper, being hanged from wall by iron chains. At center of room was an anvil, over the walls were different kind of tools, at corner of room was shelfs and many crates which were storing a good amount of different metal and materials, which was used to craft weapons.

Though Balder would lead the woman and her kid to other side of room, which had a big table, next to the wall, filled with papers, ink and pens, books and such piled up, once there, Balder would raise his left hand towards the chair next to table slowly, "Okay then, Esildur sit over there, Mrs Kara, give me the measurement please." As the words were done, Balder would turn around and stare at Kara, waiting for her respond.

Expect them, there was another person in room, which appeared to be Jack, a tall drakatine with blonde hairs as was walking around and moving things, preparing the smithy and forge for the job to be started. . .


(Balder Rosenberg)

Kara followed Balder down. Once they reached the basement, she looked around and saw all the furnishings. She wondered if her Brother Navarog would ever have such a Blacksmith workshop like Balder does. She handed Balder a slip of paper with the measurements of Esildur's legs.

"These are the Measurements" Kara said to him. She then turned and kissed Esildur on the forehead then turned to Balder and spoke.

"So, what exactly will you be doing if you don't mind me asking; Uncle Balder?" Kara asked him.
(Kara Draconis)


Balder would walk towards Kara and take papers from her and turn around again, walk towards the table and place them over the ground, soon picking some white and blank papers from table and place them in front of himself, soon starting to draw and writing things, while looking at measurements and thinking deeply with himself, though at middle of it, he would answer Kara.

"Well, I first plan to crave the Iron Oak I have in a shape of legs, with little toes . . . hehe . . . anyway, then will cloth it with mithril to make it more thick and stronger, yet lighter. Then will work over design of it, add some mechanical things to it as well, so he can bend over his knees anything he wanted. Then attach it to his feet by a small surgery . . . but thing is, I am still not a great medic, so I may can't make him to take control over those legs yet. But if I live, I will study over it for sure. "

His answer were straight, he told Kara everything in his mind, though it wasn't that easy indeed, since materials he was working with were rare, and wasn't easy to shape and stuff, thus he had a hard day in front of him, but hard days are always welcomed!

Half a hour passes and finally Balder raise his body from table, cracking his joints a little and then take a deep breath, "Well, it is done, Jack! Bring me two limber of Iron Oak, alongside the hatchet and saw! Get the saw that I made few days ago." His tone was now all serious, as he would walk towards the wall closeby, and take off his upper body cloths! Revealing his upper body side naked, and soon wear a big apron over his body, surely this process would be so hard and sweat taking, which wearing that cloth wouldn't help.

Balder body had many scars over it, but something which would gain attention, would be glowing tattoos over his back, in shape of a dragon which covered his whole back, over both of his hands were tattoo of a cloaked man, and over his chest mark of Rosenberg family, though the chest tattoo would be covered by apron. His neck skin, appeared to be stoned as well, clearly showing the man had many different stuff happening for him.

The giant figure then would walk back towards the table, standing next to Jack, he would soon start his working over the main core of legs, meant to be made of Iron oak. First he would do a marking over whole part of wood, in shape of the leg according to the measurement done, then processing on with sawing the extra part out of the wood, as the name said, Iron Oak, appeared to be really hard thing to crave, but it was Balder, those giant muscles weren't for the fun indeed.

Soon he would go on with putting the saw down and grabbing a hatchet of the table, soon starting to hit couple of strikes to the wood, this time he was cutting extra parts as well, but it was more detailed, and as time goes on, the wood take more look of a leg. Putting down the hatchet he would grab a knife, and soon start to crave the wood, giving it more details and such, making holes in some part of it, clearly wanting to fill it with stuff later on.

The process was long, but after nearly a hour passed, the job would be done so far.

"Well, first part done, the core is built, now we need to melt that mithril, Jack, split that blessed mithril into half, put half of it into a chest and other part would be gone to the copper pot, we going to melt it, you know what to do"

His orders were short, clearly showing that Jack knew what to do, following his orders as quickly as possible.

Soon facing the kid, Balder would smile, "It's a boring process . . . how is it so far for you?" His face had a smirk over it as he asked that question.

(Balder Rosenberg)

Kara listened as Balder spoke. Her eyes widened concerning the surgery. Lucky for Balder, Kara did know some Battlefield. It was part of her training as a "Cosmic Knight" when her Great Grandmother was still the Grandmarshal. Kara had learned from Lynn Sanada Draconis's journal; which contained "Battlefield Medicine". Kara was also a Holy Mage, so she could also use Holy heal in combination of "Battlefield Medicine".

"It sounds complicated, but should there be any need for a medic; let me know. I qualify as one" Kara said truthfully.
(Kara Draconis


Esildur observed patiently as Balder explained the process that he wanted to use. Most of the lingo was pretty up there, but the child had gained quite a leap in comprehension as the years went by. A nod was given and he watched closely as the first step began rather slowly. Balder intended to carve Iron Oak into the shape of legs so that he could correctly and accurately add toes into it and more. The little one was quite shocked at this revelation when it all came down to it. How difficult would this be in the end, truthfully, if he was to perform something of the sort like this. Man, Balder was quite amazing at smithing. Esildur wasn’t sure how he knew actually what to do and when to do.

Nonetheless, the youth made a very curious expression as almost an entire hour had passed by with him observing the process. How difficult and wondrous it was to know how to do this all. The little one, however, did have a rather short attention span being a child and all. For the first half hour he was completely focused but after a few more minutes he ended up counting the random marks around the smith. There weren’t even actual markings, but just scuffles of different objects and coal that had fallen perhaps. By the time Balder had actually spoken to him Esildur had counted almost seventy different random markings around the smith. “W-What?” The child remarked immediately before actually processing the question that had been asked to him. When that finally came about he offered a smile and looked at Balder. “It’s super cool!”
(Esildur N. A. Draconis)


 Hearing the kid words made Balder to chuckle a little bit, it was fun for him to see Kids happy surprised face as they spot things in the world, it was a happy feeling for him indeed, and by that he would nod towards Esildur and smirk, "Easy part is done, now lets process to next step" By those words, Balder would turn around and walk towards the forge, which was now having a fire being made in the heart of itself by Jack, the mithril placed in the pot, and by guide of the chains, the pot would be placed over the forge.

Process of melting the mithril was always a little hard thing to pull, but Balder and his partner in work, Jack, already done it so many times, so they had quite a good experience in it. Soon Jack walk over the forge and stand in front of it, as Balder himself stand behind the man. Jack would then strength his feets into the ground and take a deep breath and soon blast a huge amount of fire, and shoot it inside the forge. The fire was wild, and it started to get even wilder, soon the fire would warp around the pot and even burn higher than that, soon the warmth inside the smithy would increase even higher, clearly if fire was released to be like that, the whole smithy would melt away!

But soon a huge amount of mana would be unleashed inside the smithy, blue waves of mana flowing in the area, roaring like a wild dragon, but then all of waves would be focused at one place, over the forge, soon working as a barrier around the fire, and minimizing it to the forge only, increasing the heat inside of it to even a higher amount. Making both Balder and Jack to get a nosebleed happen over them, but there wouldn't be any movement from two men, they just stood there, their hands in front of them, as they feed their magic with their mana, Jack was becoming a stronger person in use of fire, which made it harder to control it for Balder, but Balder didn't just got those white hair out of nowhere!

Nearly half a hour pass, and the heat inside the smithy increase to an insane level, and then, a word from Balder, and the fire of Jack, feeding the forge would be stopped, "Enough" . Soon the young drakatine fall over his knees, panting while the nose bleeding start over. As for Balder, the old man would simply bend over and pat over the Jack shoulder and smile, then raise his body upwards again, soaked in sweats, walk over the table again, placing his stare over Esildur again.

"Whew, that was hot! Well then, to next step!"

Man appeared to not know when to rest, he soon would grab both legs and carry them with himself as he would walk the other side of smithy and place them over a big stone in front of himself, shaped in form of a table. As he reached there, he used his gravity magic, to bring the pot with melted mithril inside of it, close to the stone as well.

Now it was time to cloth the Iron Oak with metal!

(Balder Rosenberg)


Kara watched Balder at work, curious. She always had been interested in the work that Blacksmith's did. Her Brother Navarog was a Blacksmith, but certainly not a Master like Balder was. Kara would stand at the entrance and watch. If medical attention was needed; she could use her Combat Medic skills as needed. She wasn't on par with her Father, but she was decent enough.
(Kara Draconis)

Esildur watched this process in awe. It was difficult trying to remember each step that Balder was taking, but it was so cool that he wanted to eventually try it for himself. Of course, just watching smithing wasn’t the best way to actually acquire experience in the art. Practice was the chief trainer when it came to smithing and related arts. Once Balder spoke he laughed for a moment. “Woah, that looks really hot too!” He announced towards him, the excitement still very much alive. “How do you know all this stuff Balder? It looks hard and stuff!” The inquiry was very serious for this matter. Nonetheless, when Balder prepared to melt the Mithril into the product that had been crafted this far it looked really cool. It was similar to watching someone create candy!

Esildur was simply fascinated with weaponry and armor. Hence the fact he wore heavy armor as opposed to light armor in this case. As well as his upbringing and training utilizing actually blades instead of the baby steps of a wooden sword. It made the little tike wonder how Gabriel’s massive weapon was constructed and how long that actually took. This process wasn’t short by any means as a good amount of time had flown by. “Mommy, look look. It’s all bright and stuff!” He regarded towards the utilization of fire magic when it came to actually constructing the item. He had never seen someone try this before and it was incredibly beyond cool!
(Esildur N. A. Draconis)


Tatsuo didn't know what to do next. His sons were in the house and he could always train or play with them, but it was a bit to tell. With that he felt as if his power grew a bit since his battle against one of the nightmares.

Tatsuo still needed a few moments to think about a couple of things and with the war coming today he knew that he might need to stay again so his kids didn't need to worry. When Tatsuo thought for a few moments he then remembered that his daughter, Hamaki, was geting alot older and her scythe couldn't help her in certain situations that she wanted to prepare herself for.

With that in mind, Tatsuo thought this might be a good chance to talk to Balder about a few things involving that and a bit more.

Tatsuo got up from his seat and walked outside toward Balder's smith shop. He didn't know what to expect, but walking into the shop, Tatsuo would yel out to see if Balder was hiding or anything.

"Balder! You around?!"
(Tatsuo Ryozo-Nagano)

As Balder was getting ready to cloth the iron oak with the mithril, someone upstairs start shouting for his name, voice appeared to be really familiar, clearly belong to one and only Tatsuo out there! Facing towards the Jack which was drinking quite a lot of water, "Jack, go and get Tatsuo down here" he spoke fast as he would then look towards the Iron oak and go into a really deep thinking before wanting to start.

The young apprentice would run upstairs and greet Tatsuo in main shop,
 Hello there Sir Tatsuo, Master Balder is currently working in basement, and completely focused up over something, you can come down there and wait for him to finish up his job. . . . I believe its something for your family  Jack was always polite teenager, though that polite gesture was towards friends of Rosenberg family, expect that, he was a little harsh talker!

As Jack was getting Tatsuo down stairs, the currently busy Balder, would start his job! Moving the pot with gravity magic, Balder would soon place the pot in close by, letting it to cool down a little bit, but before processing on with clothing part, Balder would first soak the wood in a special made oil and some other stuff, to make it even more hardened! Most of his actions were done based over gravity magic, he would control the wood and soak it in oil, then bring it out, and cloth it with an energy shield, work as a barrier and speed up drying process.

After the wood got soaked by oil, Balder would process on by soaking both legs inside the pot full of hot mithril again, let it be there for couple of moments, then bring them out, soon cloth them with another energy shield, and place them over the stone in front of him, let it to cool down a little bit, so he could process on by  detailed work over the metal, such as a little hammering, giving shape to metal, hardening it in water, and placing different mechanism parts, to allow different movements to be done from leg.

He just needed to wait, indeed smithy was a thing working with patience!

(Balder Rosenberg)



Gregor, as Kara Draconis's Butler, would escort Kala to Frostvale. After several hours of journeying, they would arrive in Frostvale. Gregor had been informed by Lady Kara of her trip to the Frostvale Blacksmith's Shop owned by Balder Rosenburg. Not wanting Kala to be alone, Gregor offered to take Mistress Kala to the shop.

Gregor entered the shop, followed by Kala. Gregor noticed Tatsuo in the shop.

"Sir, are you the owner of  shop? I seek Lady Kara Draconis" the Butler said. Gregor was a Cyclops, so not very bright. He did not know that Tatsuo was in fact Kala's relative.
(Gregor)

The small drakanite, dressed in her casual wear, hid behind the large cyclops who had brought her to the Blacksmith's shop in Frostvale. After a long trip, she only followed silently until Gregor had stopped and begun speaking to her relative, Tatsuo. She gave a small wave behind Gregor and spoke,

"Hey, what are you doing here Tatsuo?" She would give a small smile and a curtsey to him, "Do you happen to know where my mom, Kara, is?"
(Kala Draconis)


Tatsuo would yell a bit more trying to find Balder, but as he was about to yell out his name again, but as soon as he was about to speak he heard the bell of the main door of the smith shop rang.

As he turned his head slightly toward the door. Looking at the people coming inside he saw a cyclops and a bit of a blur of a child behind him. At first Tatsuo thought it might have been his friend Bunkala, but lookig around again it was a male Cyclops and not her. Tatsuo would shake his head until he heard a familiar tone of voice. When he turned a bit more he saw that it was his niece's daughter Kala.

Tatsuo gave a huge smile as he looked at her. He hadn't seen her in a long time and he wanted to catch up on her.

"How are you Kala?"

When Tatsuo turned all the way around his figure was a bit bleek. He was standing around 6'03". His right eyes was that of a normal gesture and had a hazel iris color, but his left eye was something like that of a demon to most. His left eye was black with a red iris at its center. Tatsuo had white hair with pink hues at the end of each strand. On top of his head laid horns of close to a yokai then anything. They weren't Drakanite horns nor neries horns. they gave a nervous gesture when you are around them for way to long, but they didn't do anything harmful.

When looking back Tatsuo picked Kala up and petted her hair as a playful way. When she asked were her mother was he didn't know. He even asked who the cyclops was, but it was interupted by the teenage servant of Balder's.

The teenager mentioned that Balder was working on something for "his" family. Tatsuo smiled as he began to walk with Kala on his arm.

"Oh? So Balder is already starting the task i ask him to? Thats great!"

Tatsuo would put Kala down as they entered the basement and saw Balder working a bit aways.

On the other side however laid Kara and Esildur. Were they here for something? Maybe not as it seemed Balder was making the leg right in front of them. Tatsuo smiled and walked over to the gang and waved his hand hello.
(Tatsuo Ryozo-Nagano)


Kara watched as Balder continued his work. She heard voices upstairs and heard her daughter's voice as well as that of Tatsuo. She smiled. So, her Butler had escorted Kala here. Good for him. She paid the Butler 50,000 crowns a year. Got him for cheap, but the Cyclops was happy for the pay. She didn't mind the giant in her home.

Every once in a while she had broken dishes, but those were easily replaced. She was after all, financing two armies plus the Draconis Clan with Katai being absent again like usual. She tossled her Son's hair.

"I saw dear" Kara said to Esildur, answering his question to her.
(Kara Draconis)

Esildur stared at the process that Balder was utilizing. Even now, it was way too much for him to actually comprehend the entirety of it. He wasn’t performing the standard steps that the child was used to, it was now at a point where actual craftsmanship was coming into play. The child turned to his mother as she spoke. A nod was given and then he looked over as Gregor had brought Kala or something of the sort. Asura had missed it when Tatsuo first arrived but it was pretty awesome to have so many members of his family within the same early.

A head scratch was given as the youth offered a smile to his sister. “Hello Kala! Mister Balder is making my legs and stuff.” He explained to his twin sister before looking towards the work-in-progress once again. Those deep eyes of ocean blue locked onto Balder once again. “How will they work Mister Balder?” The little tike inquired.
(Esildur N. A. Draconis)


 The basement started to grow even more busier, but Balder didn't paid any attention, he never got distracted while doing his smithy, this thing was something which made him to feel free of anything, anywhere and any place, he was always really focused while doing his job.

Thus as the metal around the leg got cold enough, Balder would bring it close to himself by his gravity magic again, this time, he had many different things around him, being placed there by Jack. Nails, hammers, small pieces of gears and such, so many things! Which clearly shown how hard and sensitive this part is!

Soon Balder would grab one of legs first, and soon start his task over it. He was working very carefully, even using a glass to zoom more onto leg, first he worked over the details of feet, making it to look more like an iron boot or sabatons. Then would make possibility for it to be split into two half, by usage of a small handle close to the lap, thus the kid could wear them like a pants on and off. Though due to having Iron Oak, it looked more fat than what it should be, which was only wrong thing about it, but overall, it still could be hidden by cloaks.

That task may sound simple, but it was really a complicated thing, he had to plant many gears inside the legs, he also needed a power, strong enough to split the leg into two half, which made him to use his own magic and mana in order to do it! This leg was most complicated thing he had crafted so far! He never done something like this, but he couldn't let a kid to be legless in this important time of his life, thus last months he studied more about engineering and such, and with a lot of struggles was able to pull this off!

Other mechanism would as well would be implanted to the legs, such as ability to be bend over the knees or bring the leg upwards. All of them would take couple of hours from Balder! All of the time, he just kept working carefully, as you say he never appeared to be this focused over something. Only thing people from behind could see, was his giant naked back, with that glowing dragon tattoo over his back, as he was just doing so many tasks with his hands.

But soon! A movement could be seen from the man, as he slowly raised both hands upwards and stretched them, then took a deep breath while slowly raise from his seat, having both legs in his hands, walking towards the Esildur with a smile. His face was now having sign of tiredness, though it would fade away behind a smile of him.

"Sorry, it took me few hours, but I guess its done. . .  Esildur, if possible get ready, we going to plant them!" His tone was excited!

(Balder Rosenberg)


 Nodding towards the kid which now was ready to get his new gears, Balder would smirk towards him as he heard his question, "Well, easy, just attach them! Its like leg armor you had, its strong! But it wouldn't be completely done, we would need some rune writing to be done over it! So you can fly with it, but these will give more stable balance to your legs so here we go"

As he said those words, he would use the small handle close to lap of each leg and by press of that, the leg start to split into two half from middle, soon then Balder would kneel before Esildur and guide the kid's leg into the right leg, hoping that it would fit in right way . . . and it did! Soon the legs would be covered by the metal legs, and again by usage of that handle again, they will warp around the kid legs.

"Whew, its good! Now, by using this thing here, you can bend your knees or unbend them, or you can use this thing here, and make it to move freely, which I hope you gain in future for sure!" Balder would go on with explaining, how do the leg armor mechanism do, but so far it was done in a good way, soon Balder would face Tatsuo again and smile, "Hello there man, glad to have you here. You going to place the runes for gravity magic over the legs or that would be Cyano job?"

He wanted to know that, as he was now limited on time.

(Balder Rosenberg)

The specialized leggings had been finished and it was even explained to Esildur how he could use them to bend his knees with a level. That was so cool! The child had never actually been able to utilize his knees in anyway before. So having a way that made him more like a normal child was incredibly cool and amazing! The little tike was so excited when Balder helped him to guide his legs into the armor so that it covered over him. It felt strange and foreign. It wasn’t anything like the armor he had worn before, and yet it felt so much better. “Woah, these are cool! THANK YOU MISTER BALDER!” He yelled towards the man being almost in tears at the awesome stuff. Even if he couldn’t actually walk yet, it was the first step in a very long road that he had been traveling without any actual way to step! “You’re so cool!”
(Esildur N. A. Draconis)


With his finished work of the metallic legs, Tatsuo soon walked up to Balder and gave him a bit of a slap on his shoulder and spoke a few words.

"Nice job Balder. Are you sure you wanted to use your iron oak? I told ou I could provided any metal when i found some"

Tatsuo would smile toward Esildur as he smiled greatly. It had been a while since he saw him smile like a real kid.

"So now that everything is finished.. All thats left is to attach them"

When Tatsuo said this Balder spoke to him about placing runes on the legs for gravity magic. Tatsuo didn't know anything about element based runes, but he knew how to attatch the runes to the boy's body and maybe keep them form coming off. Or maybe he could have them like a prostetic and have him put them on or off. Tatsuo would knee down to Esildur and gave a huge smile.

"How do you like your present Esildur? If you want I can attach them for you, but I want to know something. To you want them to come off and on or do you want to keep them on?"
