Capítulo 5: The blacksmiths quest

it's been three days I and Mere reached the village her uncle lives in. he's a tall skinny man with a red handlebar mustache he looked like his brother but seemed to be more active. Mere hugs her uncle as I explain to him what happened it was quiet that night, not even a single cricket chirped. I couldn't sleep my arms were covered in scales again my feet are also covered the next morning I went to Mere's uncle forge he told me his name, Nash. "could you make me a sword I need to go through the black woods" when I told him this he laughed "why would you want to go through there even so I can't make a sword right now I don't have the materials to make a sword that could create one strong enough to handle you magic Id need an elven anvil and magic hammer Id also need a crystal created by an earth dragon I don't even know who could find one you have to join an adventures academy to even access to that kind of information". This is annoying I thought to myself, " where can I find an adventure academy and how would I even get in?" I asked him. he told me about a traveling merchant who comes through here every few days and that he would know the answers. I spent the rest of the day talking with Mere she hardly even ate anything at dinner and I don't she slept either. That night asura pulled me into the spirit but we weren't on a ship but in a large meadow with a giant tree in the middle standing under it was Asura she was in a blue dress this with black lace trimmings. she sitting and singing the song my mother sang "That song how do you know it" she giggled and gave a pretty smile "because I've been with your whole life you just didn't know I know everything about the bond between mage and familiar is a life long contract when you are born I was born and when you die ill die too, in other words, the bond between mage and familiar is a lovers contract we've married since the day we were born" she giggled again "Ginos gonna be furious about that" i said aloud "Do you actually want your sister in that way" she asked with a concerned look I was silent for a moment then answered "no, of course, I love my sister but not that way I've only just allowed it because I didn't want to hurt her but Its gotta stop". she smiled again " I don't mind you having others but your sister can't be one" I shook my head in agreement "come sit next to me" she stuttered a bit but it was cute I sat next to her and put my back against the tree and Asura put her head on my shoulder it caused me to get nervous as she held my hand. "hey Asura did happen to hear the things that the blacksmith needed?". " Yes, I did. I don't know where to find Adventures Academy but in the mountains north of you I sense and earth dragon and whisps spring if you can best him in normal hand to hand combat he will grant you one wish as per the dragons code". after a while of sitting Asura started picking off the scales on my arms it didn't even hurt it was surprising "if mere saw these she'd freak shed also be jealous" Asura said giggling "why would she be jealous" I asked but Asura just starts humming. It's time to keep moving I thought to myself as I ate breakfast "Are planning on leaving soon" asked Mere she asked if the could join me but her uncle protested and I didn't want to drag her into this but she was adamant on coming with so I told her everything. I explained to her that I needed to beat the which in the black woods and reach the person sensei is sending to find. Her uncle kept trying to talk her out of it but she refused to waver we ended up leaving the next day on horseback to the north but as we started to leave coming in from the east side of the village was the merchant. "Are you a merchant by chance?" I asked "why yes I am. Are you looking to by some goods?" he responded he stepped off the carriage and removed his hood he was short and pudgy he had a long thick black beard and bald head.
