Kaden felt relieved. "That's wonderful to hear, Master Hassim. I am deeply interested in blacksmithing."

"Very well, let's not waste any time," Hassim said, rolling up his sleeves. "I'll start by teaching you the basics. Pay close attention, the first step in mastering the craft is to understand the metal you're working with."
