Vronti nodded and said, "Welcome to the Astrapi Keravno Pack, Blacky. You have completed the test and you are welcome." I raised my head and thanked him for his kind words. Vronti looked at me and stated, "You are not armed. Please tell me how did you manage." So I told him further ado that I was taught in the old way of hunting and tracking and to fight with a clear mind and muscle strength. Finally, I told him about the fight against the mountain lion that was my test. Vronti nodded and said, "That's not bad. Now you take a rest first and let supply your wounds. If you're feeling better I introduce you our teachers. I am sure you would like to learn more." I smiled and said with a nod, "It would be a great honor, sir."

As my wounds were healed fairly few days later and I felt better, I asked Vronti an audience. "I'm fit again and would like your offer to introduce the teachers decide to accept, Sir." Vronti nodded and said "Follow me." Together we went to the cave of Kaze. They greeted each and Vronti said "Kaze, he is new. His name is Blacky and I introduce him our teachers." his gaze wandered to me and he said "Blacky, this is Kaze. She is our expert on weather tracking, navigation and storm forecasts." I bowed my head and said "It is an honor for me, madam." Kaze laughed softly and said, "Nice to meet you, Blacky. If you want to learn from me you can always visit me." I nodded and replied, "Yes, ma'am. I will." Vronti told Kaze "Excuse us." Kaze nodded and Blacky followed Vronti out of the the cave.

After a while of silence Vronti continued, "I teach Weapons Mastery. You learn fighting and defending techniques and strength-building, weapons identification, maintain and the territory to guard." I nodded and said, "I understand, Sir."

When we had reached Theo's cave he was sitting in front of it and greeted warmly Vronti like a brother. Vronti said "Theo, that's Blacky. He's new here and I currently introduce him our the teachers." His gaze wandered to me and he continued "Blacky, that's Theo. He is our Weapon smith. If you're not afraid of fire, you can learn from him how to make weapons and tools. Furthermore, the secrets of the fire and the understanding about different metals and understanding how different metals are used." I bowed my head and said "It is an honor, sir." Theo laughed softly too and replied, "Greetings Blacky. I would be happy to teach you." - “Thanks, Sir.” I replied. Vronti said "Excuse us, Theo. We still have anything to talk about." Theo nodded and we went from there.

After a while we came to an empty cave and Vronti said "If you want you can live here." I nodded and said "Thank you, sir." Vronti asked "What do you want to learn?" I thought for a moment and replied, "I would like to learn more about the Weaponsmith." Vronti nodded and said "Then go back to Theo and let him teach you." I thanked Vronti for his time to introduce me to the teachers and walked back to Theo.

He sat in front of his cave when I arrived. I bowed my head and said, "I would like to know more about the Weapon smith, sir." He laughed softly and said "Theo. Please call me Theo. Your respectful expressions pleased me but it would be enough if you bring it to Vronti." I nodded and replied, "Yes, sir. Excuse me. I mean Theo." He laughed a little louder and said, "All right. I am pleased that you want to get in my teaching. What do you know about fire, forging and metals?" I said "Sorry, nothing at all." Theo sighed and said, "Then it's better we begin immediately. Follow me please. I'll make you first familiar with everything." He got up and went into his cave. I followed him.

Completely overwhelmed by the establishment of forge my muzzle was open, and I was not able to say a tone in the situation. Theo led me to a Hemispherical thing and said, "This is a smelting furnace. Here the ore is melted out of the rock, and cast into ingots so we can make it as weapons and tools." I felt the intense heat emanated from the smelting furnace and nodded. Theo walked on a stone ring inside was embers and on its side and a strange looking thing was fixed. Here too there was very hot. Theo said "This is a forge. Here will heat the metals they can be molded and bring them into shape." When he saw me looking at the strange thing on the side, he said "This is a bellows. We carry the fire air to make it hotter." I nodded and Theo continued "Next to is an anvil." and pointed to a curiously shaped piece of metal top with a smooth surface. "On it the metal is beaten until it has the right shape." he explained. Next to it was a Wooden container with water. Theo said it used to deterred the processed metal to harden it.

He led me on to a wall in a variety of strange things hung I also never saw. Theo explained the function of each individual. Starting with pliers to hold the metal in the fire and on the anvil, over different hammers to the workpiece to give the appropriate shape to many custom built tools for the manufacture of certain forms were necessary.

He told me he was going in addition to teaching have different tasks for me. Find coal, collect and trading ores, build fire and maintain them and to make weapons and tools. The tasks are actually a part of teaching and better understanding. Theo smiled and nodded. "There is still one thing." he continued and went to a tanning rack. He said, "We also need leather for suits of armor and weapons holster. This will also be a task." I nodded and said, "I will not disappoint you, Theo. I promisse."
