" That's a pretty ring." Came the voice of someone I had been expecting.
Holding in my sigh I looked beside me to find Raven staring at me as if waiting for something.
" It is isn't it?" I replied to her before putting the ring on my ring finger and immediately felt its refining effect.
It felt like a warm hearth was enveloping me, I quickly ignored that and focused on the woman.
" I need you to process the bad gunpowder we have to make new bullets." I told her to get straight to the point." I already have extracted the potassium nitrate and sulfur from a cave not far away from here."
" I need you to remake it, you'll have people to help you so don't worry too much." I said and then pointed at the far-off corner where all the items she would need were.
After that, I walked over to the forge again grabbing a whole Symphonite Ingot.
" Wait Zek." She muttered causing me to pause before looking back at her.
" About the other da-"
" I'm gonna stop you right there, save whatever sorry excuse of an apology you have for someone who cares." I told her with more hostility than I meant.
I guess her betrayal did hurt me, more than I realized.
" Zek please understand-"
" Again, save it." I said in a tone of finality." I understand very well. You betrayed me for someone you loved enough to kill me, your friend."
" I know that I don't mean as much to you as that boy Finn but what you did...I don't think I'll ever forgive you for that." Telling her that I saw tears streaming from her cheeks as she tried to speak but all came as a stutter.
" So this is what we will do." I said walking up to her and standing over her as I looked down at her eyes making sure my face was expressionless.
" You will help with whatever I need to win this war." I told her while brushing the hair out of her face and wiping the tears off." After that, we will wait for those still left in the Ark to come down and you will graciously leave to join them."
Her eyes widened staring at me in disbelief.
" B-bu-but wh-why?" She said stuttering.
" You betrayed my trust when you went against our interests and shared secrets with the grounders, secrets that had them knocking at our doors trying to gain the fruits of which you also gave out to a traitor." I said to her walking back.
" Then you decided it was a good idea to point a gun at me and threaten my life for that very same traitor." I said sighing at the end.
" Had Finn not slit your throat and went along with you that day you would have disappeared, never to be seen again so what's the difference here?" Saying that I turned.
" Just get to work, war is coming and we need every advantage we can." I told her dropping the ingot into the blast furnace.
Minding my business and the furnace I didn't hear from her again and only the clutters of items rubbing off on each other.
Deciding to not mind I went back to work too.
_______________________________________________________
It took me till midnight of neverending work to finish 10 swords which was a bit longer than usual but I thought this was due to the material I was working with being of advanced nature.
The ten swords too had turned midnight Black as my ring.
[—Item: Blackened Symphonite Longsword.
—Type: Weapon/Sword.

" Incredible....." I muttered awed at the sword that had seemingly connected to its brethren while I was forging them.
This almost made me want to discard my twin katanas for one of these but I shook my head at that.
I still had a considerable amount of Symphonite Ingots in my inventory and could instead make a copy of my Katanas, I had gotten attached to them after all.
But before deciding that someone suddenly entered startling Raven who was too engrossed in making bullets setting one off in a small spark of an explosion.
" Fuck!" Exclaimed the woman before groaning, turning back to her and the intruder I frowned staring at her bloodied hand.
" I'm so so so sorry I didn't mean to–" Started the shocked squeals of Charlotte who adorned a dark cloak over her, one I had made for her to blend in with the night.
"Charlotte." I stopped her rambling before she could begin throwing the sword to the others I walked towards Raven grabbed her hand and observed it.
" What's so urgent that you'd interrupt me while I'm in the middle of working?" I asked not looking at her but cleaning ravens wounds, she seeing this paused as I cleaned her wounds quickly and then administered the healing salve I had not far from her.
The wound immediately started mending at a slower but observable pace, no need to use the healing potions for this.
" I'm sorry for interrupting sir." Charlotte replied with a bit of guilt in her voice before she stood resolutely." Nate wanted me to report that there's movement south of the wall sir."
To that I paused, my eyes widening as my head snapped towards the girl.
" How many?" I asked letting Raven's hand go.
" Just one sir....."
I frowned hearing that and stared at her, she flinched for a moment before speaking.
" It's John Murphy, sir."
Huh?
