Once they had calmed down the girls shared what had happened to them with everyone else. Lin naturally overheard all of this and started humming to herself. Remey would normally jump in to punishment seeing these actions, but now she was acting much more mature. This was the exact action Lin would have taken had she found the situation unfolding. Little did she know Remey was biting her lip holding herself back to complete her quest. 

Although the nagging feeling that things might just be easier this way was becoming stronger and stronger. Now that she had a small goal in repairing the teddy bear Remey looked at the system finding that there was only two minutes left until the quest would complete itself. She just needed to make it to the door.

"Thus is MY win stinky Remey!" The same boy as before was running at her now to try and get her leg. He was totally alone and his trump card glare had already been used. She started to move out of reflex to draw her fist back. 

"You need a lesson in manners huh!?" Remey wound up standing tall throttling her fist down towards her sibling. The boy realized that Remey was coming down with real force and had a face of terror. He could not stop his motion and would be right in the path of this punch. 

Just as the fist was about to connect Remey stopped, "Ha! You thought I would actually get you with everything I had?" The boy softly bumped in to her leg and fell on his butt. "Next time don\'t shout out your attack, the element of surprise is much better in a real fight."

Remey let her fist softly pump his shoulder before she turned to leave out the door. She had finished the quest and felt very proud of herself. She hadn\'t thrown a single punch or gotten in to a single fight but still had the feeling that she had accomplished her duty as an older sister. Having heard Lin\'s words she was sure that the orphanage was back on the up and up and would not be in any danger. This was the thing she wanted most and if she continued to work hard then she would be able to give them all the best of lives. Just because Lin said that she did not need to do anything more she couldn\'t talk Remey out of doing everything.

Patting the small bear she headed back home to the mansion. Her errands were done for the day and her family would be waiting for her to eat dinner. Plus who else would tease Walker for sitting outside all day playing with fire.

When Remey had returned Lisa had jumped at the job of repairing the teddy bear, she even promised it would look as good as new. 

With a satisfied look she headed to drag Walker inside before he managed to exhaust all his mana. "Get you butt moving, how else are we going to get to start eating Miss. Hilda\'s new recipe?!" Remey may not have had a way with words but she got Midnight\'s attention which was enough to get her running inside. Onyx and Walker were slower but he stood up with a bit of extra effort. "Looking like an old man already huh?"

"Pfft I\'ve been sitting there all day training, what have you been up to?" Walker was still trying to shake out his stiff joints much to Remey\'s amusements.

"Ey nothing much, I invited the old man from the alchemist guild over for after the auction. He managed to get a ticket and wants to come to dinner. I will have him help me out in the alchemy workshop." Walker was pleasantly surprised that Remey had taken the initiative to get the alchemy workshop up to par for the work they would do in the coming weeks and months. 

He was not sure what to say to this and instead nodded as they headed inside for dinner. He could not help but notice that Remey was walking with a bit more bounce in her step, what had put her in such a good mood?

The meal had proven to be a hit, Hilda\'s new spice blend on the horned rabbit legs would easily become one of her top dishes. Everyone managed to eat way too much and headed off to sleep for an early night. 

The morning came early. With the great breakthroughs in their control of the black flames and Midnight\'s decaying breath Walker had decided that today was a good day to head over to their forge and test out what Midnight could do. The pair found that their forge had been radically changed in the last day.

The wandering blacksmith was asleep at the table, an empty plate still left from the dinner he had been brought the night before. He had been working on strengthening the forge since he had heard he would be able to forge in dragon\'s flames. This was a fire that could easily cause massive damage to a forge because of the unique mana a dragon added to their flames, every single one was different. This simple fact was a reason that many who would fight against wild dragons would research the elements of said dragon was strong in so they could wear resistant gear and bring effective weapons. 

The wandering blacksmith had seen that Midnight had darkness element in her flame breath meaning that there would be a decaying effect. From his experience he knew that such fire could destroy the forge itself due to the wear and tear it put on the metal and tools. If he did not use his best techniques then he would be constantly looking at clumps of rusting metal. 

Walker was examining the reinforced forge and the tools that had been inscribed with patterns. The wandering blacksmith had added runes to his tools to give them some added strength as well. His inspections had woken up the wandering blacksmith who was stretching in his chair. Noticing that Walker was looking over the changes he pulled up a hammer and channeled mana through it bringing it down on an anvil. Walker was startled but soon in awe seeing the glow of the hammer meet the anvil and start to glow as well. The two had the same runes carved in to them. 

"AH, ehm...good morning there. I brought Midnight in case you wanted to test things out. It will also help her learn how to better control her decaying breath attack." The wandering smith nodded heavily. He also wanted to get some practice in since he had just finished all the reinforcements. He jumped in to action tossing some coal inside the forge. 

The wandering smith held out a hand and a small spark of flame flew in to the forge lighting it in an instant. The red flames grew in temperature putting out smoke and heat. He pulled out his bag from a corner and removed two basic iron ingots to test out the forge. Motioning to Midnight it was obvious he wanted her to start adding to the flames.

Midnight moved toward the opening to the forge a bit unsteady since Walker and the wandering blacksmith were staring so intently at her. She puffed up her chest and released a small stream of black flames in to the forge fires. The flames lost their orange yellow glow and were dyed black with wisps of white and some orange. They seemed very unbalanced at first but became much more even every time she puffed in more flames. 

The wandering blacksmith started to add his own mana in to the forge which glowed with runes causing the flames to become much more stable. The metal and stones that made up the forge seemed to have a protective coating of self sustaining mana around them keeping away the decaying effect of her flames. Walker was amazed by the level of skill it took just to prepare the forge. 

The wandering blacksmith motioned for Walker, "Do you want me to use my dark flames too?" Walker was not sure why the wandering black smith would want such a thing. But as the blacksmith nodded and Walker had no reason not to oblige.

Walker created a ball of black flames and threw it in  to the forge as well. The intensity of the flames grew some, this spurred the wandering blacksmith to add more coal as fuel before he grabbed the metal to begin heating it. The tongs he used to hold it were also glowing with mana. The tiny runes inscribed were something Walker could not even dream to be able to do since they were so small and complicated. 

The forge was burning at a great temperature causing them all to break in to a heavy sweat. This did not deter the Wandering blacksmith who was just getting started on his testing.
