Mother Strong of Blacksmithing to Heart
The night sky is beautiful for some who are still awake to see the stars though some are still awake because they have some work to do before they could turn in for the night.
And of those people is a young and strong looking woman is up late crafting a sword along with a little boy that is most likely her son, hammering away on the heated metal as it takes shape.
But at the same time, there is battle going on near a small fire one strong-looking woman with an eyepatch is clashing blades against a short girl wielding a big axe like it was a pencil, and the taller woman appears to be on the losing end.
"Ha! Guess that sword was made pretty cheap, after all." The shorter girl smirked.
Then steam came bursting out from the right arm of her gauntlet and with one swing of her red battle axe, she shattered the eyepatch woman's sword easily much to her shock.
"A Steel-Mountain weapon is very better than your blade." The shorter girl bragged with a confident smirk.
Meanwhile back at the workshop, the woman has just finish creating the sword she was working on and hold it up in the air looking at the shape for a second.
"It's done!" The woman smiled, satisfy with her work.
(Morning)
Scar and his party are seen packing up their things as they're about to move onto the road again though there appears to be something missing on this picture.
"Damn it, why did she have to go on without us like that?" Scar muttered to himself.
"No need to be worried for Echidna, that woman can take care of herself in case you've forgotten." Risty stated.
"Of course, I haven't. I just don't see why exactly she had to go off on her own like that without telling us first." Scar said.
"Are you sure she didn't say anything else when she left? You were the one who was awake at the time." Leina asked Risty.
"Just that she wanted to see if the Cattleya we're meeting at the next town over is the real deal. Guess she heard of her crafting skills." Risty explained.
"Is she really that good?" Scar asked.
"I heard that her skills with making swords are amazing, no other people could ever match her in that." Leina recalled of what she heard about Cattleya.
"Hey, maybe she could have a look at that sword of yours." Nanael suggested.
"Oh, do you think she can make it stronger?" Menace wondered.
"My sword is plenty strong as it is. It was wielded by my old who got it from a strong and incredible blacksmith who known as a legend." Scar explained a bit of his sword's origin.
"Well, it wouldn't hurt to have it check out just in case it needs maintenance check." Nanael advised.
"I guess that could work." Scar decided to check this woman out.
(Cliffside Close to Town)
The shorter girl appears close to the edge of the cliffside looking down at the town with her eyes lock onto one house.
This girl has sandy blonde hair that is style into several swirling and shiny blue eyes. She wears a puffy white dress which resembles a bridal gown. The front end of her dress opens up below her waist, exposing her white and blue panties. Ymir wears one gauntlet on her right arm and armored thigh highs. She also carries a bit white battle axe with gold lining designs and a flower design and wearing flowers on her head with a little crown. Breasts sizes:
"There it is." Ymir said to herself, remembering the reason why she came here as the scene reveals her pointy ears.
(Flashback)
"Hey, why are the profits down from our weapon sells?" Ymir asked some of her fellow Dwarfs.
"Because so many weapons are now made from cheap iron thanks to the alchemist and their lower prices. It's tough competition for our hybrid Steel Mountain." One Dwarf answered.
"There's a weapon maker in Vosk Village name Cattleya, I hear they especially have good sells." Another dwarf informed.
(Flashback End)
"(Cattleya is stealing our business. I'll make her pay for that.)" The dwarf thought decided on that when she left her home mountain.
"Prepare yourselves, you cheap steaks! With your inferior and lousy craftsmanship, you don't stand a chance against my blade!" The shorter girl pointed at axe at the town.
"I, Steel Princess Ymir, will teach you the folly of your ways." Ymir declared letting out a laugh, and suddenly sneeze.
(Vosk Village, Blacksmith Shop)
Within the known famous blacksmith shop of Vosk Village is a lone boy working at the front counter of the shop while his mother is away to make some deliveries of swords to the ones who ordered them.
The boy has black hair and blue eyes. His appearance resembles a young girl, wearing a hairpiece and what appears to be a purple dress and a turquoise bead necklace. He also wears black shoes.
This boy is known as Rana, son the blacksmith woman Cattleya.
Rana let out a sigh that he is starting to feel a little worry for his mom as she hasn't come back home yet.
"She's been gone for a while. I hope she gets back soon." Rana concerned for his mom's safety.
"Oh my, aren't you a spoiled little boy." Echidna chuckled as she is looking at some weapons on display.
Rana becomes surprised of seeing someone is inside the shop without him even noticing a person walking through the front door, he notices the pointy ears and became shocked when he saw a snake wrapping around her waist.
"Don't worry, Kelten doesn't bite… Unless you give him a reason to bite." Echidna giggled.
"I'm looking for Cattleya the weaponsmith, is she here by any chance?" Echidna asked as she leans forward to the boy.
"H-Huh, you're looking for my m-mom?" Rana asked, blushing of the woman and her breasts being so close to him.
"Yes, I came here to see the woman myself." Echidna nodded; she enjoys teasing the little boy his age.
(With Scar Party)
Nanael let out a wincing sigh because once again, she is feeling bored out of her mind during the long travel to the Vosk Village they are heading to meet up with Echidna, feeling like this trip is taking forever.
"How do you humans have the patient to go through this long travel, it's exhausting." Nananel asked.
"I don't see why you have to company when you can fly easy and cover some grounds." Risty pointed out to the angel girl.
"You humans just think you have it easy." Nanael said.
"Although, I am still curious about her wings. How could you possibly fly like that when one of them is smaller?" Menace asked looking at Nanael's wings.
"Yeah, it's like someone mix up the order of what pairs of wings to go with." Setra joked a little.
"Shut up! It's not my fault I was born like this, these stupid wings have always gotten lots of other angels to tease me about them saying I'm only a half-baked angel." Nanael angered explaining.
"Wow, I guess even Heaven isn't all paradise as I thought." Leina surprised to hear even angels mocking each other in a way.
Scar then move one arm wrapping it around Nanael pulling her closer onto his body much to her surprise with her cheeks blushing.
"Uh, Scar?" Nanael wondered about this.
"They look fine to me." Scar said, confusing her a little.
"You were born different, but that just means you're more special than anyone else in the world and no one can take that away from you. After all, you are my woman." Scar stated strongly.
Nanael felt her heart racing like crazy upon hearing those sweet words about her as she starts to cheer up from her depression of her wings, and now see they're something to be proud of.
"Oh Scar, you are so sweet!" Nanael smiled and latch onto Scar for some kissing, but that accidentally broke the stripe for his sword as it fell almost hitting Leina and Risty.
"Nanael, you drop his sword!" Leina yelled.
"Oops, sorry about that." Nanael apologized.
"Maybe you should take it easy with the smooching from now on." Risty joked as she struggles to pick up the sword as Leina helps.
"Geez, Scar. How are you able to withstand a sword this heavy all on your own?" Leina asked.
"I went through a lot of physical training with my master, most of them almost killed me every single time." Scar remembered his training days, the times when his life would almost fade to nothing but kept on coming back up.
"Yeah, let's all hope we don't meet this master." Nanael said as the others agree.
Meanwhile, a woman is walking down the same path as Scar's group is heading to Vosk Village because it's where she lives hoping that her son is doing okay at the shop.
"Here, let me." Scar offered a help as he grabs the hilt of Dragon Slayer and lifts it in the air.
That's when the woman saw the giant sword being held in the air as she suddenly becomes enchanted of the sight, seeing such a big weapon that couldn't be count as a sword more like a giant lump of iron that can still be use as a weapon.
Yet there is something else about the weapon that is feels somewhat familiar to the woman.
"I'll carry it on our way to Vosk." Scar said.
"Excuse me!" The woman called out getting the party group's attention.
"I'm sorry to stop you. My name is Cattleya and I'm a blacksmith, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to take a look at that sword of yours." Cattleya introduced herself as she walks up to them.
"You're Cattleya?" Leina asked.
"That's right." Cattleya answered with a nod.
Cattleya is a muscular, mature looking woman having ivory-colored skin, black hair in a ponytail with a pink flow design stripe and a left bang that covers most of her forehead, blue eyes behind spectacles and she is extremely voluptuous. The most distinguishing feature of the woman is her enormous bust, probably world record. She wears a purple bra with shoulder stripes attachment with wing-like design and a big stripe around her back, purple collar-neck with yellow outline, a belt with brown bags on the side that also hooked on her dark red stockings, two different long dark-purple gloves that goes over the elbows: the left is a full glove with a metal backhand while the right is fingerless with an arm gauntlet. And wears boots with leather at the top close to the kneecaps, the bottom is brown, and the foot part has metal armor. Breasts sizes: Q-cup.
"Oh, wow!" All the girls in the party are amazed and shocked upon seeing Cattleya's giant knockers hanging on her frontside.
"(Okay, I was not expecting to see that from a woman.)" Scar thought shocked with his face turning a little red.
"(This is the blacksmith woman Echidna was gonna check?)" Scar thought wondered, but he also can tell this woman has some serious muscles too.
(With Echidna and Rana)
"I see, so your mother is out doing deliveries on the swords she finished making and won't be back for a while, huh?" Echidna said after listening to Rana's story.
Rana nods, feeling glad that this elf lady is an understanding type though he wishes she wouldn't sit on the counter with her private part being expose despite the snake wrapping around her waist.
"Hmm, well, maybe she already met with my group right now." Echidna said.
"Your group? You mean like a party group for adventures?" Rana asked.
"You could say we are. We went on ahead to come here to see your mother, if she is walking through the same path as my group is, then it's most likely they've already met each other and walking together too." Echidna believed.
"Oh, then I guess you're going to meet my mom then." Rana guessed.
"Indeed, I was hoping she could have a look see at my man's sword. It's very special and unique." Echidna bragged a little.
"Really, what kind of sword is it?" Rana asked.
"I would tell you right now, but that would be spoiling." Echidna teased.
"I'm looking for Cattleya, the weaponsmith. Is this her place?" Ymir asked as she is now standing at the doorway getting their attention.
"Yes, it is. Welcome." Rana greeted.
"A dwarf, haven't seen one of those in years." Echidna surprised with a grin.
"I see, then you must be Cattleya." Ymir said, wrongly confusing this boy as the weaponsmith she heard about.
"Your workshop looks decent being tidy enough, but your weapons are so low quality. I can tell you did your best with the raw materials, they're so meteocure. And what's even worst than that, none of them have any character!" Ymir scolded.
Rana is a little confuse of what this girl is saying though he can tell this girl is really strong to wield a big axe like that, and hopefully he can clear the misunderstanding that he is Cattleya's son and not her.
"And look at you!" Ymir yelled a little pointing at Rana.
"You don't exactly have what I call a strong build. Better bulk up is you want to be a real weaponsmith, they have strength and stamina." Ymir bragged as Rana look at his little arms.
Couldn't contain herself any longer, Echidna lets out a laugh that caught Ymir's attention and she doesn't like the sound of that.
"Who are you? What's so funny?" Ymir demanded.
"You're charming, in a feisty and obnoxious sort of way, but I have serious doubts about your intelligence." Echidna chuckled as she walks up to her.
Ymir becomes jealous upon seeing this woman's bouncing boobs and look down at her flat chest and upset about what this woman just said too.
"What did you just say?" Ymir asked.
"How can you have mistaken this cute, little boy as Cattleya? Apparently, you're a rather stupid little girl. Surprising for the Dwarves Princess of Steel." Echidna mocked a little while snuggling Rana on her breasts making him struggle to breath.
"I get it now, then you must be Cattleya!" Ymir believed as she points her axe at Echidna.
"You must like being wrong. I must admit, it's rather funny." Echidna giggled.
It was then Ymir realizes that this woman wasn't Cattleya either which is making her angry.
"I have enough of your insults! Who's Cattleya? You can either answer to me or my battle axe!" Ymir demanded, but then she notice something below the woman and it's starting to freak her out.
"Hey, what's that? The thing on your crotch?" Ymir asked, hoping it's not really what she thinks it is.
"Oh, it's something wrong with my "underwear"?" Echidna asked and Kelten looks up at the shorter girl hissing at her a bit.
"A snake?!" Ymir backed away in fear and Echidna finally let's go of Rana for him to breath.
"Is that a problem for you?" Echidna asked giggling of the girl being afraid of Kelten.
"I-Is not that it's a problem. Snakes are slimy and disgusting and kind of creepy. Just thinking about them makes my stomach turn." Ymir tried to stay calm explaining that she doesn't like snakes.
However, Echidna's snake slithers his way to the dwarf girl without her even realizing that he is up on her back to her head.
"If they weren't so disgusting, I'd be fine with them. It just that they're so icky…" Ymir finally noticed the snake on her right as Kelten looks back at her.
Kelten just stares at her with his tongue sticking out for a second which Ymir couldn't handle any more than a second.
"I HATE SNAKES?! THEY'RE DISGUSTING?!" Ymir screamed as she runs away from the shop and Kelten returns to Echidna.
"So, what was it she was looking for anyway?" Echidna asked as she almost forgotten about that, and Rana just smiles glad to see that things didn't turn out for the worst.
"I'm back, did something happen?" Cattleya asked as she returns to the shop much to Rana's happiness.
"So, this is your shop, huh?" Scar asked as he looks around until he spotted Echidna.
"You really had me worried. Do something like that again and I'll hunt you down." Scar warned.
"Are these your friends?" Rana asked if these are the same people Echidna mentioned, and then Rana gasp upon seeing the massive thick sword on the armored man's shoulder.
"What a sword!" Rana said.
