I Am Legend 31 Starry Nigh

When he arrived at the smithing place, Mr. Har was currently working on the workbench. Ryth greeted him and then asked for his permission to use the smithing place to make new weapons. At first, Mr. Har wanted to help Ryth, but Ryth said that he didn't want to disturb him. So Mr. Har said okay to Ryth.

"Daedalus, I want you to make a long sword and a short sword."

"Oh? The short one is for Miss Azalea?"

"No, the short one is for me, the long will be hers."

"Why?"

"Nothing in particullar, I just want a shorter sword to bite. You know, it's much more convenient that way, and it will be lighter."

"Well, okay, then!"

Daedalus controlled Ryth body to make the new weapons and fixing Llyod's gears. When he's done, it's already over 2 PM.

"Wow, this sword looks beautiful!"

"I know, right? Ku ku ku!"

The short sword's lenght was half of [Vengeance] and [Ryuujin's Will], its grip was colored in black, the sword itself was colored in blue with black line in the center.

The blue long sword was very elegant, with white line on from the tip to the grip. The grip was painted in white.

"I had already enchanted them with the two left grand soul stones. Ku ku ku! And I thought, since Azalea's second job is a mage, she must has quite high INT points, so I added this active skill."

"Good job, Daedalus." Ryth smiled as he took the two new swords inside his inventory.

Ryth wiped the sweat on his forehead, he started preparing to head back to his a.s.signed house. He greeted Mr. Har and thank him first before leaving the smithing place.

He walked down the path, many of the dark elves greeted him with a smile on their faces, Ryth greeted them back as he waved his hands towards them.

The atmosphere was really quiet, the wind blows slowly really made the people's hearts at ease. It was a peaceful noon. With the big trees covered them, it's not a hot mid days at all.

Ryth finally arrived at his a.s.signed house, he went straight to the kitchen, and he saw there was a note on the table from Hill and Llyod that they were gone to help Woodgard and Tregnar with their things, and also they wrote that his lunch was already being prepared and he could eat it anytime.

"Ku ku ku! They are very caring towards you."

"Well, I'm grateful that they are on my side." Ryth grinned and ate his lunch. After he was done, he took a bath because he was sweating a lot during the smithing process, and then he went to his room to take a nap.

-------------------

"My lord, the dinner is ready."

Llyod's voice from outside of his room woke Ryth up, Ryth stood up from his bed, "Yes, thank you. I will be there in a minute."

When Ryth arrived at the living room, he greeted Llyod and Hill, they ate their dinner together. After they were done, they talked a bit for quite a while about what they were helping Woodgard and Tregnar with, and Ryth also handed over Llyod's equipments that he had already fixed at noon.

Ryth told them that he would go to Lady Elsa's house to meet with Azalea and also to test his new sword. Hill only nodded his head while Llyod grinned and then gave Ryth two thumbs up.

Ryth touched his forehead, went to his room to grab his bag and he walked to the outside.

It was already 7 PM when Ryth went outside, the fireflies filled flying under the trees, the moon was blocked by the clouds and trees, so it's pretty dark outside. But the torches lit up on the side path lighten the night.

Ryth arrived at Lady Elsa house, he knocked the door, "Excuse me."

A beautiful voice rang from inside, "Yes! Wait a minute!"

After a minute of wait, the door opened up, "Oh, Mr. Myrad. What's the matter? Please come in." Lady Elsa greeted Ryth as she let Ryth come inside.

"h.e.l.lo, good evening Lady Elsa." Ryth slightly bowed and continued, "I just want to meet Azalea, is she inside?"

"Ohh..." Lady Elsa touched her lower lips, "She's not here, probably she's on the back of my house, below the tree. She's been training this whole day, after she ate dinner, she went back outside."

"Oh, okay, I will go there. Thank you, Lady Elsa." Ryth bowed his head and walked to the ladder.

Lady Elsa glared at Ryth's back as she thought. "Why is he wants to meet her? Is there something important?" Lady Elsa paused for a second, she heaved a long breath, "But maybe, talking to someone the same age with her will cheer her up."

Ryth slowly climbed down the ladder, and when his feet landed on the ground, he started walking to the back of the tree.

"WUSH, WUs.h.!.+"

The sounds of sword's swings could be heard, Ryth followed the sounds as the clouds who were blocking the moon were gone, it shone brightly on a female who's swinging her blade gracefully in the bask of light. Her short silver hair glowed beautifully as her golden eyes sparkling.

Like the whole world paused for a moment. Ryth was in a daze for a second.

"Hey, is that you, Ryth?"

Ryth came back to reality as he scratched the back of his head, "Ah, yeah it's me. Good evening, Azalea." Ryth waved his hand

"Oh, so it's really you... good evening too." Azalea smiled back to him.

"Ah, she's indeed really beautiful." Ryth turned his gaze to other things and said, "Do you have a moment? Can we talk for a bit? I have something for you."

Azalea was confused, but then she nodded her head, "Uhm? For me?"

Ryth opened up his bag, he pretend that he took out the sword from his bag and gave it to Azalea. "This is a new sword that I made this noon, give it a try." Ryth smiled to her.

Azalea took the sword and unsheated it as she tried to weight it on her hands, "Woah, this is a beautiful sword... and it's a good sword, the weight and the length are perfect too!"

Ryth laughed, "Haha, of course!"

"I will give it a try."

"WUSH, WUSH, WUs.h.!.+"

"Woah... this is a really good sword. I bet this was made from a rare material."

"Yeah, I made it from the big serpent's fang from before."

"And you give it to me? Why?"

"Well, I just thought it might cheer you up... and besides, you will need it in our up coming battle, right?"

Azalea felt warm in her heart as her chest tighten up a bit when she heard that Ryth gave it to her to cheer her up. She bit her lips and asked, "Ah yeah... I need a good weapon."

"Oi, partner... I know talking to a beauty is making you happy, but don't forget about the active skill, tell her to try using it." Daedalus said to Ryth.

"Ah, yeah! I forgot!" Ryth touched his forehead and said, "Azalea, there's a special skill inside that sword, you can try activating it."

"Oh? Okay... but how do it works?"

"Just pour your mana to the sword, when it glowed with blue lights the technique will appear in your mind, and you just need to follow it later."

"Mhm." Azalea took a fighting stance, Ryth walked a way a bit far from her, and said. "Now!"

[Blue Soul] glowed with blue lights, bunch of scenes appeared in her mind, "Woah... I mastered it just like that? Now I know what is the skill that attached in this sword!". She lifted the sword towards and shouted.

{Rain Dance}!

She disappeared and 6 blue lines appeared as it slashed a big rock near them.

"WUs.h.!.+ SLASH, SLASH, SLAs.h.!.+"

The big rock fell to the ground, cutted to pieces. Azalea look at the sword in her hand, turned his head towards Ryth and said with a smile on her beautiful face. "Woaah! This is a powerful skill!"

Ryth smiled as he walked towards her, "I'm glad you like it. It seems that I managed to cheer you a little bit."

Azalea's chest hurt a bit, she gripped her clothes with her left hand and said, "Ah, yeah... thank you, Ryth..."

"No problem." Ryth waved his hands and turned to another big flat rock near them, "Want to talk with me for a bit?"

Azalea turned her head and said, "Mhm."

The big rock's spot was in the open side, they could clearly see the stars from there. They walked to flat big rock and sat on it.

"How is it? I mean, have you calmed down?"

"Uhm... well, I think you already know that I train myself until night to busy myself so I don't keep remembering my father's death and what I've been through..."

"Mhm, somewhat." Ryth paused for a moment and continued, "What about now?"

She closed her eyes for a bit before replying. "I'm fine now, thank you."

"You are welcome." Ryth said, he turned his gaze towards the starry sky and continued, "Isn't the stars look beautiful?" Ryth smiled as he starred at the night sky.

Azalea took a look at the sky for a second, and then turned to Ryth. She saw his smiling face, her heart sped up a bit, she said in a low voice. "Yeah, it really puts my heart at ease."

Ryth couldn't hear her completely, so he asked, "What? I can't hear you properly."

"Ah, the stars really put my heart at ease." She sat, with her knees raised up and her face on top of her knees, looking away from him, feeling shy.

"Ohh, yeah I think so too." Ryth said, he turned his head towards her. he saw Azalea still facing away from him, the side of her face on top of her knees, hugging her legs. He thought, "Is she cold?"

Azalea was only wearing a black t-s.h.i.+rt with a tight black trouser, so it must be quite cold for her, Ryth took out a jacket from his inventory and wrapped it on Azalea's back. "If you feel cold, you should wear a jacket at least... it's night after all."

Azalea was a bit surprised by Ryth action, her face became red all the way to her ears, "Ah... yes... I forgot to bring a jacket with me."

"Haha, so you can be a little bit clumsy at times." Ryth laughed.

"No, it's just, there are many things I've been thinking, so I kinda forget about the jacket part." Azalea replied, she still couldn't turned to face Ryth.

"Haha, yeah I know. I will help you, just don't try to shoulder all of those things alone. You have me." Ryth stood up and turned towards her, "The others will help you too, so don't be too hard to yourself."

"Mhm." Azalea nodded her head, she revealed a smile, she could feel the warmth inside her heart.

"Okay, I think we should head back. You need to rest too."

"Okay." She nodded her head shyly.
