In Pierre's Blacksmith Shop, Raymond carefully crafted the hilt for Dark Moon, using the finest ebony wood and wrapping it with a layer of non-slip animal skin he had forged himself.
The result was stunning: a sleek, 90-centimeter sword blade, with a 30-centimeter hilt, making the total length just under 1.2 meters. The entire weapon was a deep, obsidian black, perfectly matching its name.
"Now, it's time for enchantment," Raymond said to himself, holding the Dark Moon Sword in his hands.
With only the faint glow of the white stone illuminating the shop, Raymond began to swing the sword in the quiet of the night. As the blade moved through the air, no bright flashes of light followed. Instead, it seemed as though the very darkness around him deepened, a shadow following his every movement.
