Jacks's hardship
Hi, I'm Gore's little brother Jacks!I have a bittersweet memory I'd like to share.
It's from the years I spent training in smithing and artificing.
My Master was a dwarf named Ghaux.
He was a god at creating weapons and artifacts.
He actually made adjustments to my dad's Orthrus gauntlets and all of Kazro's weapons.
He began teaching me around my 20th birthday. It was dad's idea, he said it'd do good for me to learn from a master of any kind.
Ghaux began training me in smithing first to get me used to the forge. He'd often take breaks to show me how to use the laws.
The laws of fire,metal and oddly enough gold are the most important for smithing.
It took around 12 years but I crafted my first weapon, which was also my birth weapon.
It was black as night and sharp as a razor, the scythe of my soul “Severed Heaven!!!!”
It was the first weapon I learned to use, but not the last!
Master Ghaux never looked sickly, however after I crafted Severed Heaven he developed a nasty cough.
I was unaware that every lesson, every strike of my hammer, every stirring of the coals was for me.
The more I advanced the worse he got, never once taking a break from teaching.
The day finally came for me to forge my first magic artifact, master Ghaux had never taught me enchantments yet but he insisted I could do it effortlessly.
I decided to put a 4 element enchant on severed heaven, (elements: fire, water, earth, and air). I just thought using my birthday weapon would be easier.
Ghaux had never once showed praise for my work, seeing my blade manipulate and obliterate the elements must have gotten to him. He grabbed me tightly and a single tear rolled down his cheek. He said,“you my boy, are a true genius! I was 240 before I could put one enchantment on Even the most simple weapons!” he had genuine pride in my abilities.
After this we began a master student project to see if I could make my birth weapon slice through everything, even concepts!
It took 3 years but I was able to cut through everything that is magical and most physical things. (Dad could never be cut, me and master accept it)
By this time master has stopped cutting his soul to boost my learning speed.
Now all's left is to cut space time, light, darkness and then concepts.
As the next 5 years pass master Ghaux began teaching me his unique fighting style. (Comment hammer style to get more info)
He said it'd help with my control and concentration.
Though he's both a dwarf and a blacksmith,his combat style was exclusive to bladed weapons. His reason for it? Simple, for most melee combat, people tend to choose blades. Be it because they're good with it or to try and Chase a title (sword saint,God,demon,ECT...)
This is how I gained the ability to cut through light and using the knowledge of that skill I was able to apply the same principal to my sythe.
But alas with this act of kindness master Ghaux became too weak to help with Severed Heaven. Not long after… he passed.
His death weighed heavy on my soul, with his passing he left me his first ever creation as both an artificer and blacksmith.
I was surprised to learn that it wasn't a weapon but in fact it was the entire shop.
It housed everything needed to create the ultimate artifacts and weapons.
I then immersed myself in enhancing Severed Heaven while also operating as an artificer, only tending to Severed Heaven when it comes to weapons and smithing.
It had been 5 years since master's passing, I've been able to perfect his blade arts and I even learned how to tailor.
It wasn't long before I had gotten word of a way to finish Severed Heaven.
From none other than big bro!
Apparently Gore had began his journey to surpass father to do so he'd need his own crew. I guess he already decided I was a mandatory member with my aspirations to be a knight of Semus nation and all.
But that's not important,what is is the big solidified block of thoughts!
“Where did you find that!!???”
I yelled at him.
Apparently dad got some from the sandman.
He thought it might be a good present for my master, but you all know how that goes.
I asked Gore to give me a second, he told me “Take your time little bro, I still need to convince viscera to come along. You know what that means, violence!!” He materialized Hell Shaker, gripped it in his mouth and ran on all fours towards the Valkyries arena.
I immediately began to absorb and comprend this precious item.
First came words and there definitions, then concepts like temperature and finally the boundary between life and death.
With Severed Heaven complete there is one last thing to do… visit masters grave!
When I arrived I couldn't help but weep,as his presence radiated around the tombstone.
I materialized Severed Heaven and it began to restyle itself as masters presence enveloped it.
The handle became a gradient of greens, and a deep green cloth wrapped around the pommel.
As the energy dissipated so did masters presence.
[META UPDATE]
