Chapter 3: The blacksmith

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After becoming an official adventurer and getting her first quest, Octavia went to the blacksmith to get some equipment, after all it's free. The blacksmiths forge was built a couple of months ago because so many adventurers keep passing through Ponyville, and the mayor thought the forge would make a lot of money from the adventurers. "Hi, um, I'm here to pick up some adventuring equipment. Wait a minute, Derpy?" Octavia questioned

"Yep that's me. Oh, hello Octavia, how are you today?"Derpy greeted her friend. Derpy is wearing a fireproof apron and a wielding mask to protect her face, her hair is messy as well as her tail and body.

"Well I'm quite fucking stressed out at the moment Derpy." Octavia answered with a sigh. "Also why are you a blacksmith, I thought you were a mailmare?" She asked.

"I am still a mailmare Octavia, its just that being a blacksmith is sort of my hobby."

"Okay but why though?"

"Hmm, never thought about it. I guess I like creating weapons of mass destruction, along with other things like building materials, armour and creating stuff that doesn't exist, like this mini cannon." Derpy said as she pulled out a glock.

"What does it do?" Octavia asked curiously.

"Well it does this." Derpy pulled the trigger using her wing, Octavia dodged the bullet but it did hit Filthy Rich in the buttocks

"OW SOMETHING JUMPED UP AND BIT ME!!!" Filthy Rich yelled in pain.

"Sweet Celestia's holy shit!" Octavia cried

"See it's faster than any bow 'n' arrow I'm thinking of shortening the name to gun, what do you think Tavi?" Derpy asked innocently, not knowing that she shot Filthy Rich in the buttocks.

"Derpy you just shot the poor bastard!" Octavia yelled.

"S-Sorry Tavi I didn't mean to." Derpy apologised

"Listen Derpy if Filthy fucking Rich found out that you shot him you would be sent to jail, You may even get hung!" Octavia warned Derpy.

"Okay." Said Derpy as she threw the gun out of the window of her forge. "There, no one will ever know."

"Um that's good I guess? Anyway the princesses assistant told me to pick up some starting equipment from you." Octavia informed her friend.

"Ah, so you finally found a job?"

"Yes Derpy I've found a job that can get me money so I can buy food and pay the bills and tax."

"Alrighty then, luckily I have made some equipment last week." Said Derpy. "So here's your chainmail armour, a small carrying bag and an iron sword." Derpy gave all of the equipment that Octavia would need to her friend, but Octavia thought something seems off about this new equipment her friend has given her.

"Um Derpy, I don't mean to offend your craftsmanship, but all this stuff you've given me looks so weak."

"Of course it is you're level one right? Thus you get weaker equipment." You can't argue with that logic.

"B-But can't you make them stronger?"

"I can but it would cost fifty bits, and that's money you don't have."

"Isn't there anything you can do?" Octavia asks desperately

"Well since you're my friend I guess I can give you this green cloak, It doesn't do anything except make you look badass." Derpy says as she gives Octavia an old green blanket.

"Well thank you very much you asshole." Octavia thanked Derpy as she left the blacksmiths forge

"You're welcome... Wait? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME YOU LITTLE BITCH!!?"
