Razors' Edge
Chapter 5 Friday
Previous ChapterNext ChapterGallus walked through the halls with a angry look. Yesterday, both him and Yona had detention. Detention! All because of that freak who is completely out of his mind. Oh, if he didn't hate that colt already. He was very, very, very close to hatting the jerk. His friends walked beside him; Yona was just as angry as he was. Smolder and Ocellus even had looks of anger. The only one who wasn't angry was Sandbar. But, even he was getting close to it.
Gallus growled, “When I get my claws on that colt,” He growled again in anger, “Oh, I am going to show him what an angry gryphon can do!” He finished.
Yona nodded her head, “Yona, show punk how Yak smash their enemies!” She huffed loudly, “YAK SMASH ENEMY BEST!” She finished.
Smolder exhaled some fire, “Save some for me!” She growled.
Ocellus and Sandbar stayed quiet as they walked through the halls. As they turned down a hall; They saw the colt who was causing so much trouble. Each of them were surprised; not because of seeing him. But, because of where they saw him leave. He had just walked out of the head-mare's office. Not only that; he was walking towards the exit of the school. All of them felt a sense of happiness enter their minds. Razor had been expelled from the school. But, they had to make sure it was real. With a quick vote, Ocellus, found herself walking towards the door to Twilight's office. She gently knocked on the door.
The others waited patiently for her to return with the news. Thankfully, they did not have to wait for too long. Each of them were eager to hear what she had to say. But, their looks changed from wonder to worry. For, she was slightly frowning. When she was close enough she sighed heavily.
“He hasn't been expelled,” She said causing all of them to groan in annoyance. They looked at her with looks of confusion, “Apparently, he had to be excused from school today. So, that he could catch up on his job.” She finished.
“Wait, job?” Gallus questioned, “He has a job?” He asked.
Ocellus nodded, “Complete, Bull!” Smolder suddenly shouted, “That, jerk's just skipping school. Because he's afraid of what hes got coming to him.” She finished fire shooting from her maw again.
“I say we go and see his 'job' after school.” Yona suggested; she received nods from all of them just as the bell rang for first class.
When the school day came to an end. Each of them met at the front of the school. Thankfully, while Ocellus was talking to Twilight. She had asked where he lived. She told her that his family was located just outside of Ponyville. They followed her as she lead the way to his home. The walk was quite a ways. But, they did eventually reach Razor's home. His home looked almost like Fluttershy's cottage. Except it was built into the side of a small grassy hill. The hill acted as the the roof of the home. On the grassy roof was Razor's mother. She was tending to a small garden; half of the garden was flowers. While the other half was of various vegetables. The noticed behind the home a large amount of smoke rose into the air.
As they walked closer to the small home; Razor's mothers took notice of them. She smiled and waved at them. They waved back in response. They watched as she slowly walked down from the roof. When she stood in front of them; she smiled happily.
“Hello,” She greeted them happily, “What brings you all here today?” She asked.
All of them looked to Ocellus; who grinned nervously, “Um, well,” She began as the mare waited patiently for her response, “We saw Razor wasn't in class today.” She said.
“Ah,” She interrupted Ocellus with a nod, “Well, no need to worry youngin. He's around back working in his forge,” She turned around while they looked at each other in confusion, “Come, I'll show y'all.” She finished before she started walking.
The group followed her behind the home. What they saw surprised all of them; behind the home was a small hut. Inside the hut was Razor; he was wearing a welding helmet and a large leather apron. In his magical hold he held a large hammer. Which he brought down hard onto a anvil. They watched as small amounts of sparks flew from the anvil every time he would bring down the hammer. They watched as he set the hammer back down. Then, with his magic he lifted up a glowing piece of metal from the anvil.
None of them could believe what they were seeing. He was forging a sword right in front of them. They watched as he placed the glowing sword into water. Watching as steam rose from the water he had dunked it in. When his mother moved closer they moved closer. She stopped just in front of the forge.
“Razor,” She called out to her son as he brought the sword out of the water, “Razor, you have visitors.” She finished he looked towards her with his helmet on. Through it he could see his classmates standing behind her. He brought up his left hoof and flipped his helmet up.
“Hello, everyone.” He greeted before he walked over to a large sharpening rock.
Razor's mother smiled before she looked back at the group, “I'll leave y'all be.” She said before walking away.
The group stood at the entrance of the forge in shock. All this time Razor was telling the truth. He really did have a job. And, it was in sword forging? The watched in awe as the rock began to spin. Allowing him to sharpen the edges of the sword he was making. None of them had a single word to say.
“What do you all need?” He suddenly asked snapping them out of it.
“We....we though.” Sandbar began.
“That I had lied just to get out of school,” He interrupted him as he set the sword back on the anvil, “I am used to it.” He added before taking hold of two pieces of brybark root in his magical hold.
They watched as he used his magic to wrap the root around the end of the sword. They were shocked in disbelief once again. He had used his magic in a way; that the blade part of the sword looked as if it had grown from the wood of the root. He then made small openings in the handle. With his magic he levitated a small pouch in front of him. From the patch he pulled out five different crystals. Three of them were rubies. One was an emerald. The third was a sapphire.
Razors parents watched with smiles from their home. They felt so happy for their child. Yes, they had been to multiple schools. But, he would never make any friends. So to see a group of creatures watching him as he made a sword. After a few minutes they watched a small cloud of magical smoke fly off from the forge. Meaning he had just completed an order. They watched as the group talked with him for a little bit. Just before they began to walk away. The parents looked at each other and hugged. Happy that their son was making friends.
