Re-encounter

Oblivious to the devastating result of Melvin's reckless mistake, Nial had entered blacksmith Arnold's store, who was eagerly waiting for him.

Before he could announce his arrival, a draft of wind brushed into his face as he heard the blacksmith's desperate voice right in front of him.

"Ì'm glad that you were able to come directly, Nial. Sorry for the inconvenience, but you are the only one I can rely on, I can feel it!"

Not sure whether the blacksmith was currently confused and thus misinterpreting his strength, Nial only gave him a hesitant smile.

He was unable to tell if the blacksmith was making him feel more powerful than he truly was, or if he was playing at something else.

However, what he was able to figure out was the fact that blacksmith Arnorld Birg was genuinely under the impression that he would be able to rescue his daughter.
