The Silent Temple - Starforge
I was nervous. It seemed like I always was now days. However, this was for an entirely different reason. I was meeting up with Forgemaster Emberfall. The Valkyri was the master with a hammer and tongs. Forging just about anything and everything that was needed for the Je'daii order. As such, I had met up with her earlier. Speaking about wanting to learn how to create a force imbued weapon. Considering that this was also part of the trials to rise within the ranks of the Je'daii.
When I had first joined up, I didn't think I really wanted to stay. But after much debate with Kinta, and Lucem about it, I decided that it was best to do them even if I didn't stay, for the pure factor of learning more, and being that I would also become a member. This is why I was nervous. I feared that I would mess up. In my right mind, I knew that I would. It was always going to happen. What I truly feared was that I wouldn't be able to learn from my mistake and better myself upon learning how to create such items.
Breathing in, The floating orb around my head was making it's own electronic noises.
"Why are you even learning how to make this? You fight with your hands."
"That may be true, but what if I have to use a weapon? Fists are not always the answer to every solution."
"Duh, but why make one of these difficult weapons when you can just get a lightsaber or a blaster?"
"It's part of the Je'daii trials. I also want to create something that will fit me. Not the general public."
"Sooooo you want to be a special snowflake?"
"No. Its an acheavement to make something like this. For us who desire to make something of ourselves, we create something that gives us pride in who we are. Just like Jedi creating their own Lightsaber. The Je'daii create their own force imbued weapon."
"I get ya now. You want to stroke your ego."
"Look, If you were in the same position I was in, would you go to learn how to make these before you had to so you could be ahead of the game, or would you sit by and do nothing?"
"Point taken."
It seemed like that finally shut the shard up. However, that is when the Forgemaster came around the corner. She was wearing one of the large leather aprons that I assumed I would be wearing. Looking to Lucem, he nodded his head and began to record everything that would be taking place. This way I could return back to it, and learn from it. Or, even use it at a much later date to create a Holocron like my uncle did, thus all the information I knew would be stored upon it. My mind returning to the woman as she gripped my arm like any other Valkyri would, I returned it in kind.
"You wanted to learn Force Imbued weapons eh? Welcome to the Starforge. First off, need you lose the extra clothes. Don't want to burn them or get in the way, right?"
She in the meantime was putting her hair up into a rather thick pony tail while I removed my bracers, and jacket. Putting my own hair up in a small man bun to keep my hair out of my face, and prevent fire from singeing my hair. Nodding my head to her statment about losing the gear as I did so.
"Alright Shaper. First off, you need to learn how to deal with the forges."
Leading me off to the forges, She then showed me around. The main forge that was heated using electricity, and would provide a better source for forging blades, or heat treating a weapon. While the fire forge was mostly used for traditional forging of blades. Thus would be requiring more work, and training to be done. Honestly, I wouldn't mind being trained in either or both. Better if I could learn all of it. However, this was just for the easiest to be done, and get across. She also led me over to belt sanders, the large shop filled with tools of every kind, explain in vague detail what would be inside, and furthering the tour of the place with power hammers of different kinds, shaping tools, and set ups for cutting metal, or anything else. It was a lot of information to keep in mind. Which is why I was glad I brought Lucem along with me.
"Any questions?"
"Where do we start?"
"We are going to start with the smaller stuff. Teaching you how to actually forge a blade. But first, you need to learn this."
Reaching down and over a bit to what was a blank sword, one that I could work with, she then placed into the furnace and turned back over to me.
"You need to learn how to hit with a hammer."
