Aurum just smiled at Vernal's antics, He recognized the tattoo on her arm. Knowing that by just meeting Logan sent her warning signs that he is a valuable ally, and a dangerous enemy. The only thing he didn't know was which of the wandering tribes she belonged to.

{Aurum} 'Things are going to be interesting for the next few years. Probably best for him to start on his partner sooner than later. An armor would be good, he really can't use aura, then... I don't know, it's really for him to decide.'

Aurum just sighed. He knew that it would be a long, hard day. As he was getting ready to leave for the shop, Melodia entered looking around perplexed. Wondering around the store-front looking for something before she heard Aurum speak.

[Aurum] "If your looking for the client, she left already. And didn't I asked you to watch the store while I got Logan?"

[Melodia] "I had to powder my nose, and besides, Logan came in as I left. So there was no trouble."

[Aurum] "Did you even see the girl's tattoo? The bird and flower?"

[Melodia] "What about it? It was a nice tattoo, sure, but what it?"

[Aurum] "*Sigh*... She was from a wandering tribe. Which one? I'm not sure. Recently, one of them, The Branwen tribe, have been gaining power lately."

[Melodia] "You think she is one of their member's?"

[Aurum] "She's no slouch, I can tell you that. She's a trained combatant, and skilled one at that."

[Melodia] "So what are you going to do? Give then scrap?"

[Aurum] "No, they'll notice. Best, we give them decent gear for their order and they'll leave us be."

[Melodia] "Fare enough, I'll trust your instincts Mr 'Black Lion King '"

[Aurum] "As long as Carmeli and Logan are safe, I could care less. You love Logan to; Isn't that right miss 'The Singing Belladonna' ?"

[Melodia] "I'll let Carmeli know what's going on."

[Aurum] "Thanks. Then let's get started."

{Both} 'Ha... I feel old.'

In the shop, Logan had both felt and thought in a similar way to his father and aunt. Unannounced to them, however, he had already started on the plan to deal with Vernal and her request. He had taken a sheet of steel off a rack that was 1/4 in thick, 3ft wide, and 4ft long with ease. Then he took it over to a large machine. Across the top of the machine, in big bold letters read "X-23 Automatic Cutting Bench". It had a large shelf, a computer, 4 pillars, and a crane-game like arm with a cutting torch attached to it. This all came together in the shape of an 'L'. After imputing the sizes of the machetes, Logan left it to work. Aurum walked in with a serious look on his face.

[Aurum] "Logan! Tell me what your using for the order!"

[Logan] "1055 steel!"

{Aurum} 'He always thinks ahead! That's my boy!'

[Aurum] "Good! I didn't like how she acted. We'll give them decent gear and tell them to get lost!"

[Logan] "Okay!! I started on the machetes already! Once they're done, I'll start the daggers next. The forge been lit as well!"

[Aurum] "Good! Once you start the daggers, I'll take care of the rest! Go make some armor for yourself! Use what you want! As long as you can move like you usually do, I don't care what it looks like! Once I'm done I'll help you finish!"

[Logan] "OK!"

Soon the shop came alive with the sounds of tool being used and hammers hitting metal. Soon, Melodia told Carmeli abut the order. All three adult minds soon thought the same thing. That in the next four days, will change everything. While Logan was happily working on armor for himself with a smile plastered on his face. Next to him, designs for an armor that will shock the world of Remnant.

Day of the Order

[Carmeli] "Now Logan, tell me, what are you to do?"

Logan, who was kneeling on the ground to finish packing a backpack, finished up and closed it.

As he stood and turned around. He could be seen in his new armor, made of leather and metal over his blue-jeans, brown combat boots, and a fitted dark grey long-sleeved t-shirt. It consists of a leather shirt that has metal shoulder pads (Like halo's) attached to the leather, a large curved metal plate that covers the top half of his torso and lower neck, and pouches lined the bottom half. On his waist is a long combat knife that set on his back. On his pants were armor that covered his thighs attached with straps and hooks to the pants, with a holster on his right thigh that held a slim line pistol already inside. His calf's had basic angled shin guards that covers the knees as well. On his arms are vambrace-like armor that covered his forearms and dark leather gloves. A dark brown travel cloak hung from his shoulders, a crest could be seen sporting a lily in front of a crossed sword and hammer. None of it shined, it all looked worn and dull in the light; it may not look like much, but it is a titanium-steel alloy.

[Logan] " 'Head to the next town over, and find auntie's house. If you don't show after two days, find a shuttle that will take you to Signal academy on Patch Island. Find a teacher named Taiyang Xiao Long and give him the letter you gave me.' Mom, you gone over this three times already! If its just a simple fight I can help."

[Aurum] "This is different, if I'm correct, this will be a hunter-level fight that might destroy the house and store. We don't what you to get caught in the middle of it. So hows the armor?

Aurum spoke for Carmeli and tried to change the topic. As to lessen the sense of dread that could be felt by every one.

[Logan] "Great! You helped me lessen the weight were I don't need it and I can move easier than before!"

[Aurum] "Good! And the blueprints?"

[Logan] "Gone, like you said. Everything is in my head, and no one but me can read it."

[Aurum] "Great! Now than get going! Your scroll has the directions should you get lost. And remember one thing."

[Aurum, Carmeli, Melodia] "We love you!"

Logan left, no tears, no waving, nothing. For Logan knew everything will be fine. He will see his family again, be it sooner or later. However, unannounced to him, his journey will be long.
