Frozen Fire-Chapter 15

 Frozen Fire-Chapter 15 

I actually managed to fall asleep. Even with the heat of the forge, well had been staying awake for majority of the nights of this months, so I guess it was understandable.

I woke up to the sound of Hephaestus's voice saying, "Almost done!"

"Really?" I gave out a loud yawn. "Finally."

I watched as he put the hot metal of the weapon into water, that familiar hissing sound of hot metal being submerged in water was heard. After a few seconds he took it out and he handed me the weapon.

"It's beautiful." Refering to the weapon, it was a scythe that looked nothing like the scythe I've owned before. It's handle was pure celestial bronze, that reflected the orange colour of the forge fires. The blade was pure black, curved and sharp. On the blade the name of the blade was written in ancient greek.(I can't read ancient greek, so I have no idea what it said). Combine the shine of the bronze handle with black and dull blade, the weapon looked amazing.(I'm a weapon geek. Bite me.)

I tested the weapon out. Despite being fully made out of metal, it was light. And also it was slightly shorter than my earlier scythe, reducing the reach of the weapon but also making it easier to handle.

"The handle is Celestial Bronze, the blade is Stygian Iron. I've been experimenting with the two metals for a while, since the handle is Celestial Bronze, any demigod can wield the weapon." Hephaestus said proudly.

I tested the sharpness of the blade by cutting off the arm of the nearest automation. It cut through it's arm like a knife through butter.

"I do believe that wasn't necessary." The forge god said, the pride disappearing from his voice now replaced by disappointment.

"Sorry." I said feeling a bit guilty.

"Anyway." Hephaestus continued, picking up the scrap metal that was once the automation's arm, then he took something of the worktable. "Here" Then he tossed it towards me and I caught it.

It was sort of like my weapon belt, but I wear it over my shoulder and chest, it was basically a sheath for my scythe.

"Thanks." I said.

"Oh by the way, to change the scythe to a pencil, just imagine it in that form. To change it back, do the exact same thing in reverse." Hephaestus said.

"Okay."

"Now scam! Before you break something esle." Hepheatus snapped.

"Okay. Thanks again!" I ran out of the forge with my new weapon.
