Garan & Kyrel
Kyrel
Hey Garan, heard you can forge a blade that can cut through doubt itself. I’ve been in the line of fire and know a thing or two about resilience. What’s your secret to turning raw metal into a weapon that a warrior can trust to keep pushing forward?
Garan
I start with a piece that feels like a tired veteran, let it cool to remember its own history, then heat it till it shivers, hammer it until it sings, quench it to lock its resolve, and temper it so it bends but never breaks. A blade that trusts a warrior is one that has endured the same fires and doubts it will face.
Kyrel
Sounds solid, Garan. You’re treating the metal like a soldier: heat to test, hammer for discipline, quench for instant resolve, temper for hard‑won flexibility. Just make sure the blade gets a real fight to prove it doesn’t just sing on the bench. Keep it simple, keep it tough.
Garan
Sure thing. I’ll take that rough steel, let it sweat, hammer it until it’s proud, cool it fast so it snaps into place, then soften it just enough to bend without breaking. When it hits the field, it’ll prove itself in the same way it was forged: through sweat, sweat, and a good dose of stubbornness. That’s the only recipe that never needs a second look.
Kyrel
That’s the grit we need. Let it sweat, let it sing, let it be stubborn. When the blade meets the heat of battle, it’ll remember the fire it endured and keep on fighting. Trust the process, keep it sharp, and it’ll never look back.
Garan
Got it, I’ll keep the heat steady, let the metal hear its own story, and shape it until it echoes the warrior’s heartbeat. When the sword goes into the fray it’ll know exactly what it was made to do – cut, hold, and keep pushing forward. No fuss, just steel and resolve.
Kyrel
Good. Keep the heat steady and the steel honest. When that blade hits the field it will remember the fire and the grind, and it won’t back down. That’s how you build a weapon that fights with you.
Garan
Exactly. I’ll keep the forge steady, let the steel speak its truth, and when the blade goes out it will cut not just steel but doubt. That’s how you build a partner that never backs down.
