Akira's encounter with the smith (ozgood only please)

*akira would be meditating in the forest with chi coursing around him vigorously and brightly with a warm sensation as chi usually did. he had heard of this smith who entered the lands and would hope he would meet him one day*

"Hello for some reason it feels like you were Calling to me. What can I do for you?" Ozgood asked.

*Akira would exit meditation* "greetings i heard some rumors about you but if i may ask why would you be listed as a fighter for the guild if you are a smith. what my ancestors told me about weapon smiths is that they focused so much on making the weapons they never learned to fight with those weapons"

"I will tell you if you are willing to sit down and hear a tale." Ozgood waiting for akiras reply.

"i am a martial artist i am sure patience and focus is my specialty" *Akira would say already sitting down as exiting meditation does not mean standing up*

"Very well I never knew my mother and when I was just a young boy my father passed ."
Ozgood pauses taking out both his katana and his hammer.
"These belonged to him way before I was a blacksmith."
"He crafted this katana with love and dedication so much so that it is unbreakable."
"There was a cost to such a strong enchant and that is the inability to break down other weapons."
"Still even though he was forging weapons he would always bring the sword with him where ever he went."
"That is when I asked him only being about 7 Daddy why do you carry that sword with you?"
"He said this to me. It is an extension of who I am and my trade."
"You must love the weapons you create inside and out no matter what they do or whom they may harm for they are your creation."
"This solidified my love for weapons. Unfortunately my time with him didn't last long after that."
"A man angry that my father would not sell him that katana killed him where he stood."
"I walked into my fathers store to see him lying dead with his blacksmiths hammer. I was now 12 and heard scrounging in the storeroom."
"So I picked up his hammer and slowly snuk inside the room hearing him say these words where did the bastard keep that katana."
"Infuriated I ran in and smashed the man so hard in the chest with there was a gaping hole where his lungs once were."
"I vowed to take my fathers trade and learn how to use each and every weapon I create from that incident."
"I will never let something like that happen again."
"I carry these two items with me everywhere I go which is the only reason they are here with me in this dimension."
"Ozgood said putting the katana and hammer away. As I grow so does my knowledge of all that I do and create."
"That is why I took the way of the warrior as well."

"interesting. tell me do you know of the land draconia where the legendary 9 dragons reside? whom are said to possess the martial artist abilities of gods? i heard you came from a different time" *akira would say interested*

"A misconception I'm sorry to say. I got here though our times are very different I came from a very different dimension so I am afraid not."

"well i although born and raised here went to draconia to learn under the feet of at least one of the nine. in a way i got better. turns out i got there when there was a war between all nine clans and once all 9 dragons clashed weapons their chi's mixed together caused a ripple through the area. most died but i survived severely injured. i was treated by a local medicine man after searching for a guard for 3 long days. afterwards my body had been changed to be reinforced by machines within and i now possess 9 chi cores which allow me to channel the very styles of the 9 dragons i had wished to learn under." *akira would say sharing his story in return*

"I see" said Ozgood taking a look at his runes.
I'm not so godly as some of the people around here seeming to be.
*Ozgood takes a rune from his sword
"My ability to manipulate limited magics into runes lets me even the field."
*Ozgood pauses knowing he has the ability to get stronger.
"Would you mind helping me develop my hand-to-hand combat?"

"very well after all i am still a martial artist teacher in position. i can teach you basic, beggar aka drunken boxing, wu-tang, shaolin, sacred flower, heavenly demon, brotherhod of thieves or iron fist if you wish" *akira would say*

"Let us see." Ozgood pausing to think what would be best.
"Which would be your best defensive style?"

"iron fist would be the best bet but i warn you it is a hard and painstaking style to learn. are you up for it?" *akira would ask ina serious manner*

"The more difficult the task the better results." *Ozgood nodding at Akira to begin

"then we shall need proper training equipment which would be at my dojo. it is on the hill of new life it can easily be spotted since the top living quarters area is burnt to ash. if you see a woman with fiery hair there you have the right place. you will not be my only student this lesson, also when you get the chance it would be best to craft some iron gauntlets that cover everywhere up to the elbow yet remain flexible" *akira would say to ozgood* (i'll make the topic later)

Ozgood walks away in order to hand forge some gauntlets* "Fiery hair huh looks like this will be interesting."

*akira would bow goodbye then head toward the hill of new life*
