Author's Note

Hi, I'm going to let you know that this story is not edited by an editor, the editor is working from the first chapter to the current one, I don't want to rush him or bother him, especially since this story is not completely adapted to his liking, and certain parts bother him .

He has already told me that he might throw away the towel, for now, I'll be patient, but if he tells me to throw it away, I'll find another editor.

With that in mind, I publish this chapter so as not to keep you waiting, but don't expect good grammar.

I was reviewing the text, and I found a lot of grammatical problems, mainly because the translator transforms, I, I am, I smiled, I did this, etc. a, he, he smiled, he did it, etc.
It was stressful to find that, in addition to the fact that he transformed a "she" into a "he", or the other way around.

I fixed what I could, if you find any serious grammatical problems, feel free to let me know in the comments.

Greetings and enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 5

"Again, why does your species wear clothes all the time?", I sighed while rubbing my forehead, it was the fifth time I'd asked myself that, "I already told you Twilight, it started as a protection against cold and heat, it continued as a protection against attacks, and it became a worldwide custom”, I said, repeating the same answer for the fifth time.

She looked just as confused, “But they don't need hunting or protection from animals anymore, why do they still use them?”, oh, a different question, “Simple, it became a habit, and it still helps with the cold and heat ”, I mentioned, hoping she understood, “So… why is it taboo? Why can't I see you naked?", and there it is, the reason why this conversation started.

I sighed, "Twilight, seeing you naked for someone else, it's become something you only show your partner", I mentioned, she kept looking confused, "But, there's nothing to show", huh? "What are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"Exactly to what I said, mares and every female in this world have very closed lips, to the point that it seems smooth without anything, while the males have a sheath that perfectly hides everything," I blinked, 'That's where the confusion,' I sighed.

Looking at her, “Humans are not the same”, I said, she looked at me confused, deciding to elaborate, “Human mares are not so closed to the point of being smooth, in fact, you can easily tell the line, while human stallions , they don't have a cover… everything just hangs there, penis and scrotum included”, I blushed a little at the end.

But not as much as Twilight, she had turned a deep red, I could easily tell her gaze shifted from her to my crotch, before quickly turning away.

"O-Ok", she knew that, from her answer, she would not ask anything else on this topic... I think.

I shook my head, clearing my thoughts, with nothing left to say, "Okay, I'm going to take a shower Twilight... Can you come out?", she nodded quickly and left the bathroom, leaving me alone.

Yes... she entered the bathroom when I was about to undress, that's when the questions began.

Seriously, living for 3 days with this pony is a fucking roller coaster, from being very cool calm, to a whirlwind of questions and finally, a whole lot of embarrassment.

I sighed and finished undressing, I turned on the hot water and got in, yes, I had gained resistance to temperatures, and now I could enjoy boiling water to bathe, or a relaxing bath with water at freezing point.

“So you had many jobs in your world?”, I nodded to the young dragon, who was curious asking me a few questions while reading a history book, “Yes, I have skills spread all over the place”, he looked at me curiously, “Even cooking?" I nodded.

“Can you make dinner later make sure you don't lie?” I huffed, “You just want me to do your job,” I said, he looked away embarrassed at getting caught, “But it's okay, I could use some practice”, mentioned, he was beaming with happiness for a very long time.

Until he tasted my food, “Uh, this is so delicious, you didn't know you could cook so well Nathaniel”, Twilight told me, enjoying my food like anything but a princess, she was eating quickly and without worrying about decorum.

Spike on the other hand… even though he didn't stop eating, I could tell that he was somewhat jealous of my skill with food.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to me that would cheer him up, "Do you want me to teach you something about what I know? Spike?" His jealousy disappeared and he looked at me with a smile, "Really?!" I nodded, "THANK YOU!" little cutie, I like it.

“Uh, forging and blacksmithing are different from the ones I know… runes? Are there fucking runes? I have to learn that,” I finished reading about blacksmithing and instantly reached for a rune book.

In the end, I tried them with the help of Twilight, but nothing happened, I looked sadly at the rune I drew so carefully, but it didn't work at all.

Twilight looked up and down the rune, "I don't know why it doesn't work, you did everything perfect", I sighed, until I thought of something... "Twilight", she looked at me, "Yes?", I directed my gaze towards her, "The runes, did a unicorn always make them?” she nodded, “did she make them with a feather or tool while holding it with her magic?” she nodded, I stared at her, waiting.

I watched the gears in her head turn from her, until the compression dawned on her face, “Oh”, yes, it seems that I won't be able to use the runes unless I learn to use my own mana.

“Did it have to be such a big piece of land?” she shrugged, “it was cheap and was the former home of a blacksmith, it will help a lot in the construction as the place is more or less set up for the blacksmith shop, there are only I'll have to make adjustments for you, and replace a few things, and it'll all work out,” I sighed, but accepted it.

Although I wouldn't know what to do with such a big piece of land, my tent will be in front of the field, but what do I do with the rest, I have more than 40 meters of free land… I have an idea, “Twilight, can you use part of the land left over to make a small house for myself?”, she thought about it and nodded, “Yes, I'll even connect it to the store, so you don't have to expose yourself”, I nodded and thanked her.

“At least there won't be much unused space now”, I muttered to myself, “Oh, I forgot to mention that it has a basement the same size as the lot, besides, did you talk to me?”,…, “Nataniel?”, “ I said nothing".

"Hey, what did you call this game, Spike?", he looked up, "Ogres and Dungeons", because that name sounded familiar to me?, "And it's not a game to be played by many?", he shrugged, “Yes, but we don't have other games”, I scratched my chin, “Do you have any paper handy?”, he nodded and gave me a lot, with a pen and ink, I created some basic uno cards.

“And this?”, I replied as I finished a +4, “A popular card game for all ages... also a friendship breaker”, I finished with a small giggle, although he gave me a strange look at my last comment.

Having the cards at hand, I presented him with the rules of the game and which ones could be changed to the liking of each one.

We play with the basic rules that if you get a +2 thrown, you can't help it and you eat it, even if you have a +4 or +2 in hand.

Spike loved it and he told me that it will be a new game that will add to the boys' night, I only put one condition, "Okay, just keep it private for a while, so I can patent it later and make money with its sale" He nodded and we continued playing Uno for a while, also understanding what I meant by “Friendships Break”, saying that I didn't know he knew about insults, especially such creative ones.

Twilight will no doubt be surprised… he made me promise not to tell her, I bought it in exchange for a future favor.

"Do I really have to meet another pony?", Twilight looked at me, "Yes, if you're going to be wearing clothes all the time, you're going to need more, and of good quality, not the one you have, you can tell from miles away that It's not comfortable”, I shrugged, I had no choice but to create my own with hardly any tools.

“But I have yet another pony to meet?”, i was practically pouting, she huffed, “How do you expect them to make clothes for you if they don't know your measurements? Even if I take them and present them to her, she will still know that you are not a known species, because of how different the measurements are from other species”, I sighed, knowing that I was defeated, I simply followed her in the shadows to meet her friend, Rarity.

My eye was twitching quite badly, I was being surrounded by many measuring tapes, needles and fabrics, even many diamonds and jewels, proven to match.

After freezing at seeing me with a neutral face like Twilight did, and fixing it with a few pats to the head, it was there, waiting for Rarity to take action.

I admit that her name fit her personality very well… yes, that was bad of me, but I wasn't wrong.

"How much longer?" I asked, preventing irritation from seeping into my tone, "Not much darling, just hold on a little longer…it would be faster if you let me do it when you don't have any clothes on," I shook my head, "I already said it, Rarity, it's taboo for my species to be naked in front of another being that isn't your partner", she nodded, "Yes, I know, I was just mentioning it", I sighed, she acts like someone from class would, although not she's mean, she wouldn't be my closest friend.

“Done darling, in a few days I'll have clothes ready for you”, she mentioned happily, I just sighed, relieved that it was over, “Oh, also, I noticed that you didn't have a cover, do you want me to make one of the clothes that go under the other for your comfort?", I blushed, how the hell do I notice that?

“Uh, Y-If it's not too much trouble, I'd appreciate it”, I said quietly, quite embarrassed at this moment, especially since nothing was showing from my crotch, so I had a doubt as to how I noticed it.

“Okay darling, come back in a few days, I have a lot of inspiration right now,” she said, with a lot of fabric and needles floating, working quickly, inhaling and exhaling, Twilight approached from the side, looking embarrassed, “Did I forget to mention that Is she very observant?", I stared at her, "Yes", it was resounding and I saw how her ears stuck to her head because of that.

I couldn't act angry any longer, her sad little face with the flat ears was killing me with cuteness, with a sigh, I started to pat her on the head, “Don't worry, I'm not angry, just very embarrassed”, she nodded under me. hand, still enjoying my touch.

"So, almost there?" Twilight nodded, she was reading a letter she received from Canterlot, "Yeah, just the furniture and materials still need to arrive, and I'd be ready for you to move in," I nodded in her direction, no. she looked worried about it, and it seemed strange to me, with how excited she was about our time together reading or teaching me, it seemed strange to me.

Having an idea why, I spoke, “So…you figured it out?”, she looked at me for a few seconds, then turned her gaze to the letter, “I think so, I still have some work and experimentation to do, but if it works, it will be revolutionary,” she spoke.

He meant a way for us to be able to see each other without having to travel all the way, making distance less of an issue.

“Uh, good luck”, I said, I really didn't need it, but being able to connect two points in space isn't easy, I didn't know how I was going to do it, if it would be like a wormhole, two connected points for teleportation or overlapping the lines. two spaces, causing an instant transition.

But the thing is, we were going to be able to meet in person regardless of the distance, she mentioned that if she succeeds, she would connect her castle with that of the princesses in Canterlot and the princess of love, which is quite a distance away, making visits. much easier for all of them.

It would also serve as an emergency door for any catastrophe, which terrified me a lot when I read the history of Equestria, although its history does not bring much bloodshed (not public history at least), it does bring many catastrophes that were avoided, since either in the past by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, or by the bearers of harmony, which would be Twilight and her other 5 friends, including Fluttershy and Rarity.

It was a surprise to learn that all of them were involved in events capable of killing them with a single carelessness, but they survived all of that, and for that, they have my respect...

Although I freely say that shooting a rainbow must be absolute bullshit, and the worst thing about those words is that I said it out loud, Twilight heard it, but instead of getting angry, she confirmed that it was just marketing from Princess Celestia, to promote the defenses of Equestria over the other nations.

But I still don't understand why the hell it had to be rainbow lightning.

I was traveling on the train at the moment, a steam train, honestly I thought they didn't have engines yet, so it was a surprise to get to see a train.

He was accompanied by Twilight and Spike, the latter was already asleep, mainly because Twilight had the idea of coming quite early, although it wasn't a bad idea to avoid a lot of ponies, it still sucks to get up two hours before dawn.

I looked at Twilight, who hadn't gotten rid of her book entitled "Space-Time Properties", it seems that she was in the final touches, because it was the third time she had read that book.

I moved my gaze to my "suitcase", which Twilight really lent me, there was a lot of clothes in there, Rarity really had an impulse of inspiration, she made 5 pants with 5 shirts that match all the pants, she even made a jean, some shirts, lots of underwear… I don't know where she got the inspiration for the last one and I refuse to find out.

I made sure that she doesn't make them too…fancy, that they'll be casual, though she still managed to make them look fancy while being casual, it's weird, but I won't mind, she's a pony who knows what she's doing.

Even if it's not her talent, as I found out, her talent is related to finding all kinds of gems, studying them and knowing how the best use is for them, only that Rarity was developed to know how to use them better in clothes, looking very good.

My gaze remained on the suitcase for a few more seconds, before drifting out, my eyes widened in amazement, "Wow", Twilight glanced my way, seeing me looking out the window, she joined in, and saw what I saw, “Amazing, isn't it? That's Canterlot."

I was speechless, seeing a bloody city on the side of a mountain, the lights, the color and the contrast were great, and the castle only made it better, "You never told me it was a city on the side of a mountain", I told her, as she continued admiring the city.

She snorted, "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you," I gave her a sidelong glance before looking back at the city, wondering how the hell she didn't fall over yet, considering there's a room off any support on the mountain, but the magic is like, "Let's fuck all the ground rules and make them our bitch," so yeah, don't ask.

Then, a doubt arose, "Hey Twilight", I spoke, drawing her attention, she looked at me, "Yes?", I turned to look at her, "How am I going to get past so many ponies until I reach my land?" she looked worried in the slightest, in fact, she seemed kind of smug, "Simple, I'll cast an invisibility spell on you," I looked at her for a few seconds, before shrugging and accepting it.

When we arrived, with a whistle from the train, we heard a voice speak outside, "To Canterlot, please passengers from cabins 3 to 10, get off", Spike started to wake up at that, getting up quickly, even though he was still half asleep.

Twilight looked at me, I gave her a nod, she returned it to me and her horn began to shine, after a flash, everything was still the same, I looked at my hands that looked perfectly, I looked at Twilight, who looked worried, "This... maybe I did it wrong”, she reloaded her horn and cast the spell on me again.

After the flash, everything was the same, now Twilight looked very worried, "Why doesn't it work?", I shrugged, "Try using more magic", she looked at me, "But it wouldn't change anything, put more A lot of magic is only good for creatures resistant to magic”, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, “You never tried magic on me, maybe I'm resistant and we don't know it”, she thought about it for a few seconds and nodded.

Then, I heard some knocks, "Passengers from cabin 4, please get off", I looked at the door with alarm, where the knock came from, the latch was opening, I looked quickly at Twilight, "Come on, hurry up", I said in a voice low.

Her horn shone much brighter from her and the spell hit me, after the much brighter flash, I looked down at my hands, this time, I couldn't see myself in the slightest, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Twilight looked around, but didn't speak, as the cabin door had opened, “Cabin 4 passengers please, oh, Princess Twilight! Sorry for the interruption!, but I ask you to hurry, it could delay the train”, Twilight nodded, “Yes sir, give me a few seconds”, he nodded and left the cabin.

Twilight directed her gaze where she cast the spell on me, "Are you here?", I nodded, before realizing she couldn't see me, with some irritation towards myself, I spoke, "Yes, I'm here", she nodded and she looked at the baby dragon, "Spike, take my suitcase, I'll take Nathaniel's with my magic", he nodded and grabbed Twilight's suitcase, it wasn't very big, I figured she wouldn't stay long.

They came out of the cabin and I followed them from behind, they began to head in one direction while they talked, I only dedicated myself to dodging ponies with their noses pointing to the sky, I even saw the occasional Minotaur or Griffin, although their number was few, hardly I saw 2 of each, out of maybe 500 ponies we passed.

Even though it's the capital of Equestria, there seem to be few other species, and if there are, they must be important enough to stay in the castle.

I kept my sigh, while dodging another nobleman, it was quite easy to identify them, since they always wore expensive clothes, which is strange, considering that I always saw them naked.

But using their clothing as a gauge, you can discern the status of the ponies depending on how expensive the clothing is, and you can see that in the quality of the clothing.

I shook my head, clearing my thoughts, dodged another pony again, and this is getting tedious, where do I buy the Twilight land? I looked around and noticed one thing, we were getting closer to the center of the city.

I followed Twilight, who was making a detour through a few streets, until she stood still, looking at a very well decorated building.

It looked like a nice store, it was painted white with little yellow paint patterns running all the way around the building, two matching bay windows where you could display your wares, a strong brown door with red swirl patterns going into a somewhat round, it seemed to have more of a helmet shape.

It was a very nice building, but I don't know why we were here, there was just a pony in front of it, waiting for something.

Twilight looked behind her and smiled more or less in my direction, before turning to the pony she was waiting for...

'Oh damn Twilight, how the hell is a piece of land in the center of the city going to be cheap?'

I looked around and quickly figured out why, there was little activity in this area, other than a nightclub that would disturb the ponies at night, that would lower the price quite a bit for the nobles, making their purchase cheap.

Twilight started talking to a pony in front of the property, she handed her some papers and a key, before leaving, I looked slightly at that pony, identifying its Mana Mark, it was some kind of contract with a building next door.

Literally her talent is selling buildings, I held my snort and followed Twilight, who was already at the door opening it, when she opened it, she let Spike in and waited outside, knowing what it meant, I quickly entered and gave him a knock. in your head so you know to come in.

She followed my touch and entered behind me, I looked around, half amazed at how good everything looked, the floor was smooth wood, it seemed to be made of a single block that was placed directly on the floor.

The walls were ridiculously smooth and white, I rested my hand on one of them, raised an eyebrow, 'I can't even feel any difference, it's totally smooth', I thought, amazed by this fact.

I released my hand from the wall and looked at the furniture, there was a small counter with several posters, although there was nothing written.

I ran my hand over the posters and the counter, everything was well done, I looked around, seeing the shelves, supports, armor supports… shaped like a pony, obviously.

I was so focused on the quality of things that I barely noticed in the back of my head that Twilight cast a spell that removed my invisibility, I didn't care, she's checking the furniture.

I checked each piece of furniture, each object, because yes, there were also some papers and pens, it was all of a very good quality, without a doubt, something that you should not be able to afford.

I glanced at Twilight, who was whistling, as she looked around her, pretending to be distracted.

I just sighed and accepted it, now I owed Twilight a favor… I hope she doesn't use it to see me naked… Na, it's Twilight, she wouldn't do that.

I feel like that would be more of a request from Rarity than from Twilight, and it's not because she has presented any perverted characteristics, just... I have a hunch that it would be like that, I feel like she's very curious... Too much for my taste.

I fixed my gaze on the door that was behind the counter, I walked towards it and tried to open it, it was closed.

I directed a look at Twilight, who nodded to me and levitated the keys to the place, I grabbed them and she released her magic, I looked at the little notes that each key had and identified the correct one.

I walked through the door and looked around, it was just a small empty storage room, although there was another door and some stairs to the basement, I handed the keys back to Twilight and headed towards the stairs.

I went downstairs, but it was too dark, I ran my hand along the wall and found a small switch, turning it up, the light turned on, I looked around curiously, it seems I found the place to forge.

There was the typical thing of a medieval forge, an anvil, the furnace, a bucket of cement to fill it with water, the tools resting on one side, having tongs, hammers, grips, among other things.

I raised the hammer and gave it a couple of finger taps, it wasn't perfect but it worked, I put the hammer down and looked at the oven, it was like the old coal ovens.

I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, it seems that being a blacksmith is expensive, even though coal is a common product where I come from, it's not here, one detail that I found out by asking how come Spike ate gems every day, is that the gems are a very common commodity, while coal is scarce.

It seems strange to me, since coal is formed by the decomposition of organic components... oh, right, this planet does not have much death, and the place where that is abundant, they do not dare to enter, I am willing to bet that there are many mines of Coal stacked in the Everfree.

They don't seem to know how to make charcoal either, I'll need wood and maybe I can use the same oven to turn it into charcoal… no, that would be a bad idea, it would contaminate the area and the metal could carry impurities.

I will have to make a separate oven, it is not very complicated, I just have to make sure that the heat does not escape, and it can accumulate from 400 to 700 º C, I will need bricks, some steel bands, maybe ask Twilight for some runes to filter the smoke in normal air, I don't want to attract attention.

I fixed my gaze on the stairs, where Twilight was coming down with Spike, "Do you like it?", asked Twilight a little nervous, I nodded, "Yes, it's very well done and it has everything I need", I said, while going back to picking up the hammer and tossing it into the air, catching it as it returned to the starting point.

I repeated this process while I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about what would be the first thing I would make.

I could consider making swords, but that is already done by the princess's blacksmith, and there are no other forces that want to buy a sword or any type of weapon at least, not often, that leaves me with more common things, the nails, screws, washers , etc. Like a mass production.

Then I could make sheets and wires as an extra, besides innovating, this world seems to be missing a lot of things that were common in my world, so I could make some of these things.

Although I will stay in the basics for now, what is most used and knows how to break.

I looked at Twilight, who was staring at my hammer, which was going up and down, she seemed captivated, honestly, something about her expression made me uncomfortable, "Uh, Twilight?", she blinked in surprise at my call, gave me a look, before returning to look the hammer.

I realized that I hadn't stopped throwing it into the air to catch it, I grabbed the hammer and left it in place, even though I dropped the hammer, she kept looking at my hands, then, she whispered something, "So Rarity was referring to that dexterity" I muttered, I was confused as to what she meant.

“Skill in what?”, that snapped her out of her world and she blushed so hard that her fur magically turned bright red, “NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! I'm going upstairs!” She practically ran off herself, Spike and I looked at each other in confusion, before shrugging it off.

I looked around one last time in case I missed anything, but seeing nothing, I just headed for the stairs, "Come on Spike, there's still stuff to see," I said, picking him up and resting him on my shoulders, "Whoa, yes you are tall”, he said to the air, while supporting himself with my head.

I shrugged my shoulders, I was naturally tall, I was 1.89 meters tall, my brother knew how to call me a tower, I called him duende, because he was very short, at 25 years old, I was 1.50.

Clear my thoughts, not let me shake my head to avoid throwing Spike away.

I went up the stairs, being careful that Spike won't hit his head, above I could see that twilight was looking at a leaf, knowing her, it will be a list of things to check.

She marked a point with a pen and raised her head, she blushed a little when she saw me, but she didn't run away, I was still a little confused, but I didn't give it any importance at this moment, I headed towards the remaining door.

When trying to open it, it turns out that it was locked, I turned my head and gave Twilight a look, she nodded and levitated the keyring from before, with a key jumping, I grabbed the keyring and put the key highlighted by Twilight in the lock.

The key smoothly opened the door and I walked in, no doubt this was the residential part of the place, I looked around, seeing that I was in the reception room, the walls were made of wooden planks, the color a healthy orange.

The ceiling was the same, but the floor was smooth, much smoother, not to say that it slipped a bit, I wasn't complaining, because I liked to slide, but it could cause the occasional blow.

The place was decorated with a common piece of furniture, where you could put anything, from trophies to photos, I turned my gaze to the sofa, it was quite large, 5 meters long and 2 meters wide.

It was the color… vanilla? I don't know what that color is called, but I know that generally foods that have vanilla have that color.

Its cushions looked very fluffy, so much so that I went over and sat directly, this chair was very comfortable, I relaxed in it with no problems, enjoying the softness, I think I almost fell asleep, mainly because I didn't realize when I closed the eyes.

I sat up straight and looked around, noticing absently that Spike had fallen asleep on my shoulder, with a small smile, I picked him up and put him down on the couch, where he curled up on himself and went back to sleep.

I looked at the small table in front of him, although it was made of wood, it was different from the wall, a darker wood, dark oak, the only wood I recognize from here.

I got up from the chair and looked at the fireplace on the side, it was really a typical fireplace made of bricks and a grill on the door that could be opened.

I fixed my gaze on the remaining doors, although there was one that was a hole and there were no doors.

Assuming it was, I got up and went to that door, when I entered, I confirmed that it was the kitchen, it was a typical kitchen, although the walls were made of wood, there was a lining in the section where the fire goes, say the oven and kitchen firewood... I think, because I don't see where the firewood would go.

Shrugging, it may be like Twilight's kitchen, their oven was powered by what I call a “Fire Gem”, it generates fire by passing mana through it, they just had to create a mechanism around it to inject mana and direct where it went the fire.

There were also more of those gems for the other attributes, I knew that the water gem worked the same as the fire gem, when mana was passed through it, it generated water when mana was passed.

Although that emphasizes that an earth attribute gem generates earth, a wind attribute will generate wind, and so on.

Although Twilight told me that one can change how those gems work with runes or spells, runes for more permanent things, and spells for more instant things that end up spending the rune.

I sighed and turned my thoughts to the runes, I found them fascinating, but I'll have to focus on them another time.

I kept looking at the kitchen, and apart from a small fridge and the sink, which really is average, there's nothing flashy here.

Leaving the kitchen, I went to another door, the closest one, upon entering, was a simple bathroom, although... was it adapted to me? I looked at the toilet and the sink, as well as the shower, it was all my size, I looked behind me, I didn't see Twilight, she must be in the part of the store.

I sighed, although I wanted to know how I got everything to a precise size, although I can try to guess, I'll just say that I hit it.

Although there is no bidet in the bathroom, that really helps you clean up, I will build one when I can, but it will have to be when I can use the runes.

I left the bathroom and went to the last door, upon entering, it turned out to be a fairly large room, with a large double bed with a simple back, there was a closet and a mirror next to it, there was a carpet all over the floor, making the footsteps very soft.

If you hardly listened to me when I walked, now they will listen to me less.

I sat on the bed, and instantly realized that it was very comfortable, I gently patted the mattress, it was very, very soft, I was tempting to throw myself on the bed and fall asleep right there, but I shook my head and left it for another moment.

I got up and went to the common room, there was Twilight, looking amused at Spike, "Twilight", I called her, she immediately looked at me, almost as if she hadn't noticed me, "Uh, yeah?", she looked nervous , I just raised an eyebrow and pointed around with my hand.

She swallowed and looked away, I just stood still looking at her, fixedly, using a little trick that I learned, I slightly stepped back one of my feet, straightened my head and threw back my shoulders, it may seem very simple, but I discovered that It makes you look very dominant unconsciously.

I could instantly see the difference, Twilight looking wilting with each passing second, until finally, she spoke, "Yeah, I admit, I paid a lot for this place and got the best of the best out of budget," I relaxed my stance. and sighed, "Fine, but don't do it again or I'll reject it next time," she nodded happily for him to put it aside.

I looked around, "And where are the materials for the smithy?", she pointed to me with a movement of her head and went to the store, when I entered, I could see that she was at the exit door, knowing that she was waiting, I threw the key ring at her, she grabbed it with magic and opened the door in a moment, I looked around before signaling for me to follow her, when I left, I could see that she was walking to the side of the store, where there was an alley with a door wood, it turns out that it was also part of my property.

When I entered through the door, I could see that everything was very clean for an alley, and there was a small compartment that led down, when I entered through there following Twilight, we went down to a kind of basement, there was a storage with a lot of blacksmithing materials, metals, wood, coal, tanks full of water, among other less remarkable things.

While I appreciated the rather large and crowded warehouse, one thing bothered me, "Twilight, how am I going to get any of this stuff to the smithy?" I still have to finish it myself”, she said, walking to the center of the room and revealing a small compartment, full of runes and paths that were lost in the floor.

She summoned materials for writing runes and began to write the empty spaces, when she finished, she raised her head and spoke to me, "Okay, I'm going to need a keyword, choose", I raised an eyebrow, although I didn't know what I was doing, I supposed it was to obtain the materials, so, “patefacio sursum”, I said a word in Latin.

She looked at me confused, "Uh, good", she went to the runes and activated them, "patefacio sursum", she repeated after me, the runes glowed momentarily before returning to their previous state, she looked at the runes in confusion, before I shook my head, “I chose another word, that one doesn't catch the runes”, I felt disappointed, I wanted to say “open up” in Latin, but can't catch the words

So, let's keep it simple, "Let it be "Open up"", she repeated the same thing as before, and this time, the runes shone brightly and all the paths made began to light up, covering the entire room, before turning off, only the runes with a slight light.

Twilight looked satisfied and got up, closing the compartment, the whole room remained as it was, she looked at me with a smile, "Go ahead", I nodded and said loudly to the air, "Open up", the wall behind me shone slightly and when I turned around, it was opening like a common door, into my smithy.

I couldn't help but let out a whistle, "Good, that Twilight, this will help a lot", she looked proud of herself, now all she had to do was plan how to interact with the customers, but I already have some ideas.

[hs]

A few hours had passed, Twilight showed me the other runes that were around the place, there was one that helped me a lot, if I spoke to a small hole in the corner in the smithy, my voice would be transmitted to the trading area, where the customers, this would help a lot, as in addition to the signs, you could talk to customers and interact without being present.

Although it could annoy many nobles, since I don't "deign" to show myself before them to speak, I sucked three and a half eggs.

Taking that into account, I headed to the smithy, Twilight came out and told me that she was going to see her parents, before heading to the sisters' castle, she assured me that it was not to talk about me, well, not about me directly. , if not from the new store that I will manage.

Once in the smithy, I opened the material store and took out iron, coal, water and some logs of wood.

Since I haven't been able to forge for a while, I wanted to practice making the most basic thing I know, a simple sword.

I put charcoal in the oven, wood and set it on fire with a rune embedded in the oven, Twilight mentioned that that rune would light the fire and make the charcoal last much longer, when I asked her why not use the rune and the fire gem to generate the heat for the forge, she told me that they don't know how to do it at the right temperature.

So there was only one thing left, to do it the old-fashioned way, when I figured the oven was ready, I stuck the iron under all the coals with a pair of tongs, then, just wait, measuring the heat of the oven constantly, when I felt enough time had passed, I inserted the tongs and took out the iron, rested the hot iron on the anvil and began to hammer.

When I felt that it started to get cold enough, I put it in the oven again, and I repeated this process as many times as necessary, until I had a basic iron sword.

When I had it, I dedicated myself to sharpening it with whetstones, once sharpened, reaching the point of cutting paper just by leaning on it, it was ready for the next phase, but I had to do something first.

Making a few holes on the side that was not sharpened, I did it with a hammer and a pointed piece of iron, when I had the three holes, I put the sword in the oven again, and waited, this time, it had to come out well red.

When I took it out, I proceeded to leave it hanging to the side, it had to cool naturally, and while that was happening, I proceeded to make the handle, which is just carving a log as you wanted to do, when I had the handle ready, I made sure to make them small designs, to make it look good.

They were a few simple lines that ran through the entire controller, they also helped to have a better grip.

By the time I had it done the sword had already cooled down I headed over to it and put it back in the oven, while it was in the oven I prepared the small pool of water, not the best as oil was preferred for the cooled, but it seems that hasn't been figured out yet and I have no oil in my possession.

When I had the sword ready, I took it out and immediately put it in the water, waited for it to cool quickly, before taking it out and checking it, confirming that the cooling had gone well, I reheated the sword and repeated the process once. more, to make sure that the sword was not too hard, since it made it brittle in contact with other things.

Once I had it ready, I put the handle, which was only putting three pieces of iron through handle to handle with a hammer, once ready, I began to sharpen the sword again, when I finished, I looked at the sword from top to bottom, looking at myself. In his reflection, I nodded to myself, I gave him a few small blows, measuring the sensation that he gave me, I tested his weight, I had done it with perfect balance.

And the final test, testing its edge, I brought an apple and tried to cut it with my sword, I cut it perfectly and without restrictions, that made me smile, it seems that I hadn't forgotten any of my blacksmith skills.

Thanks for that, dad.
