The Better Blacksmith

The spectators in the room stared at the dagger and its creator with utmost reverence. Even Freya held the small dagger with both hands like a holy artifact, afraid of dropping it. Their reaction was quite expected as this small dagger was nothing short of a work of art. While the apprentices were fascinated by the Runesmith’s words, Freya had herself evaluated the dagger.

This little dagger that was just over a foot long, had more attack damage than all the swords in her current arsenal. It even surpassed the Demonic Severance, which was a very powerful magic sword. Her heart began to beat faster as a feeling of greed overtook her. She wanted this dagger desperately.

The apprentices present in the room already consider the bet to be won, after Master Darren’s words. Even Freya was leaning towards it slightly after having seen the dagger’s details. However, she remembered the Runesmith’s words from just a few moments ago, and turned to look at her partner.
