Chapter 13: Cat smith
Josh had learned a lot from Lucius, but one day he, just as James disappeared, and the woods they were in became a workshop with a young woman beating some metal with a big ass hammer. Josh almost went deaf from the noise and blind from the light of the fire, so he covered his ears with his hands, and looked around in the workshop. There were a lot of tools and stuff laying around. After what that felt like an eternity the hammering sound vanished, and the female smith said with a dry voice which was much better to hear after almost a year of only hearing the undead, the beasts in the woods and men. She said: {You must be Josh, I am Camilla, your new teacher in engineering, electronics, maintenance and modding of weapons and vehicles. What we will do here is quite easy, you will see how I do things, and get to do it yourself later on. Okay}? Josh thought for a moment and said: "Sure, it is better than tossing me to the undead and expecting something".
And then the lesson begun. Camilla took an iron ingot, heated it up and struck it with her hammer, and shaped it with a tong and a smaller hammer. Every time she struck the ingot, a lingering clang resounded in the whole workshop. Josh was happy just being able to watch without becoming blind and deaf. After a few minutes, a small dagger was shaped, it just had the shape though, not the edges and handle. When Camilla was pleased with the shape, she dipped the dagger in a thick liquid, before heating it up again, beating it a few times, and then she dipped it in sand. And while all of this was happening, Josh could faintly hear Gloryhammer in the background.
When the dagger was finished cooling down, Camille took it to a whetstone to sharpen it, and the sparks flew all over in every different colour you could imagine. When she was finished, the dagger was so sharp Josh felt he would cut himself even if he was just watching it. When she was done, she removed the forging googles and two yellow cat eyes appeared. Josh was a bit surprised, but since he had been with Lucius for a while, it didn't bother him much. When she took of the cap that protected her from sparks off, her long green hair floated downwards, and he could also see some cat ears.
Josh was not surprised since he had already guessed that she was a cat-woman based on her eyes. She then unbuttoned the blue overall and took it off. Beneath the overall was a green t-shirt and blue jeans which enhanced her lovely figure. Josh was stunned looking at the woman, since she did undress in front of him, and she was quite nice to look at. She then looked at Josh and said with an annoyed voice: {What, never seen a lady before}? Josh lifted his hand and slapped himself. The noise from that was so loud even Camilla was shocked, and then she heard Josh say with a kind of hurt voice: "Not for a long while". After that, Josh begun his training. He got to learn the best ways to melt, shape, sharpen and identify good metal. When that was done, he got to choose and customize his own ride in the apocalypse. He decided to use an ambulance, as they had good space and could be easily modified. He decided to remove the wheels and use belts instead, changed the engine to one which could go on water and exchanged the hull and glass with bullet and bomb proof material, while also lightening the car itself.
