Master Of None

"Well, of all the people I thought I would see coming from the dragon village it's you." Su was very glad to see familiar faces so early in the morning. She had come quickly hearing a knock on the door. She had just sat down for tea and been the closest to the door since everyone else was already gone or still resting. 

"My elder has sent us three to explore your city and report back in one month about the progress. Elder Adair received permission for us to come and we have been very excited for the new sights and learning." The three had been part of the dragonkin warriors that Su had trained with. In Adair's village. 

"Well, I think Midnight will be very happy to see you as well as everyone else. If you need a place to stay we have room available. Many of the people that were staying with us temporarily have taken their leave for new houses or jobs. It's actually a little lonely in here. But first, come and have some tea. I want to hear all about your interests." Su had planned to just go to the cathedral for the day. But now she would be giving dragonkin warriors a tour of the city. It was a pleasant change of plans. 

"We have been told that we must visit the adventurers' guild and train with their warriors. It would be best to go there when they are busy." The three dragonkin were seemingly ready for a good fight. 

"Then you will end up as teachers I am sure. The training fields usually have the younger adventurers and to be honest my party should have trained there more when we got together. Anyways, what else would you like to see? And I mean you, not orders. We have a lot to explore here." As much as Su wanted the dragonkin to be able to follow their orders, she wanted them to enjoy the time here to their own desires. 

"Well…we have seen a lot of different foods being brought in from the demi-human kingdom." 

"And we have also seen a lot of different armor and weapons shops."

"Also the tower over on the other side of the city seems welcoming." 

The three each had something different. But that was perfect. "Then we will start with the food stalls, then stop by the tower, and finally we can head to the adventurers' guild and offer some training. I haven't had the chance to speak with Clara. She might come out to watch the show." Since Su hadn't seen everyone after the Greed event, she was feeling a little worried that some people might be low spirited. 

"This tea is much better than I have ever had. How was it made?" One of the dragonkin warriors who had grown to respect Su was shocked. They had tea in the dragon villages and traded it around. But they rarely had tea that was better than another villages. Tea blending was just not a skill that the dragonkin cultivated in their people. They preferred warriors. It was the same for most of their forging and potion making endeavors. 

The four spoke about tea for a little while before Su led them out the door and in to the now bust streets. Many people had come out and about to get materials or to try and sell things. There were plenty of merchants attempting to set up rugs to sell their goods. These people were quickly chased away since they lacked the proper permits. By the time they had made it to the wandering blacksmiths' shop, Su had seen seven merchants chased away even though the shop was right nearby the mansion. 

"This is the same blacksmith's shop that came to the village with us. He crafts the best items in the city and I am sure it will only get better." Su didn't care that she was laying on sweet words. The wandering blacksmith had always helped them and deserved such praise. 

"I have wanted a new spear and I think I can ask this man for it." The dragonkin warrior that had said they wanted to see the gear and items was already pulled at their bag for materials they brought with them. This had been the plan. 

As they entered they found the wandering blacksmith lording over his stack of blueprints. The smell of ink was almost the same strength as the smell of coal. He had been hard at work and the arrival of Su with the dragonkin seemed to shake him from some slight boredom. 

"It is an honor to meet you again blacksmith. I was impressed by your work and hope you can make me an ice spear that will not shatter like my last did." The materials that the dragonkin handed over were enough to make the wandering blacksmith grin ear to ear. He was already finishing his next exciting project and he didn't even need to go anywhere. 

The process of measuring and drawing seemed to be over in a blink of an eye. But before Su knew it, the wandering blacksmith had trapped the dragonkin in to working with him to forge the spear. This didn't appear to be an issue since the other two were eager to return to the tour. Su couldn't even say a word since the wandering blacksmith had already started preparing the forge. 

"Well, I guess we are going to visit the mage tower. I do need to warn you, it can only be looked at. We won't let anyone near it yet because of the potential dangers." This was just a fair warning since she cared about them, but for some reason, she swore she saw the dragonkin that had asked about the tower get more excited. Su did not miss the fact that the dragonkin had some runes carved on her armor.
