Just to warn you, this is a very short chapter. The only reason I'm posting it is so you get an idea of how Kate and Anthony are doing at the lessons. Both are having very different experiences! I hope you like it!

"Anthony, what are you doing?", Kate asked, "That blade requires folded steel, not a single layer."
"Kate, I told you not to inter- wait, she's right! This does need folded steel.", said Will.
The blacksmithing lessons had been taking place for about a month. In this time, Anthony had learned how to make Jackie pull, start the fire, put together a mold, and melt iron down to ore.
Kate always sat off to the side and watched. She could do all the things Anthony could do with, and very well. She always watched every step very carefully, hardly ever taking her eyes off the piece of iron that was being worked on. In fact, she could probably have made a sword fit for a soldier with the knowledge she had obtained just by watching.
However, Anthony was having a bit of trouble when it came to swords. He sometimes forgot to fold the steel, or weigh the handle and blade before attaching them. Kate was beginning to think that her brother would do much better in a different profession.
Kate's lady lessons continued after the blacksmithing lessons every day. She was very happy that she would be graduating in just under a year. By than, they would have moved on from swords and started to make other things.
After graduation, Kate would have nothing to look forward to each day but lessons in the blacksmithing shop.
