Will worked on the sword he would make the governor for days on end. Sometimes it got tough, an he thought he couldn't do it anymore, but he wouldn't give up. Never! He had to make this sword. An he had to make it the best, he had ever made. That way, him an Nadia could get the job back. An that way, they would get the pay the badly needed to survive.They weren't doing too good lately,because the shop wasnt getting much buisness. Today Will felt the best he had ever felt. His sword was almost done. About one more day, an it would be. He got up from the wooden planks behind the store. He walked to his small blacksmith shop. When he got in, he saw Nadia sleeping on a stack of hay in the corner. He shook her.

" Oh, hey Will" she said rubbing her eyes. He smiled an walked over to where all different swords were hanging from the ceiling. He looked up an grabbed one.

"Sleeping in my shop again I see?"

"Well, it's better to sleep in your shop, then to sleep again on those wooden planks, an have your head hurt in the morning…" she said, getting up an walking over.

"Well, you have a point there." he said.

"What I don't get, is why we don't just sleep in here every night." said Nadia, "Oh yea, we cant cause of that stupid Sminner. Always making us work really late, so that were always too exhausted to come to the shop an sleep. I hate him!" She sat back down on the hay, an crossed her arms.

Sminner was there boss at there job. He was one of the more fortunate folks, so he would treat people like them like they were nothing. Giving them late hours, Pushing them to work harder when they were working the hardest. It's a surprise they didn't just collapse on the street when they were done. He had fired them, once he found out they had gotten a job with the Governor.

" He is a very bad man. Now… be quiet, I have to finish this tonight. That way I can give the sword tomorrow to the governor."

"All right…all right. I'm sorry." Said Nadia. She sat there an napped. Will continued to work on the sword un till he couldn't anymore, an he finally collapsed on the floor.

The next morning…

Will woke up early to work on the sword. This was the day, he would present his work to the governor. Nadia woke up shortly after he had. She got up an went over to him.

"Wait…" he said covering her eyes, "it's a surprise. I'll tell you when you can open your eyes."

Nadia laughed, "Don't be silly will…just let me see the sword."

"No… I want it to be a surprise." He said.

"All right… All right. I'm closing my eyes."

He went over an Took his final work in his hands. He took a deep breath.

"Hold out your hands," he said. She did, "Now open your eyes." he said.

She gasped. " It's… It' s beautiful Will."

It really was. Made of pure silver. Sharp enough to pierce through a mans heart. Light enough to be able to hold, But still a little heavy.

"You really think so? I'm not sure if the governor will like it."

"Will, he'll absolutely love it."

He smiled. " Well if you say so."

"Better wait un till tomorrow though. First we have to talk to Mrs. Elizabeth."

Will looked confused. " To find out when it's a good time to show him the sword." She said.

"Ahhh… yes. " He said, " then tomorrow It is.

The next day…

It took a lot, but Elizabeth finally agreed to come down an meet them. She said she would meet them in the back alley of the local pub.

They waited awhile…

"Do you think she decided not to come after all?" asked will, holding the sword like it was made of pure gold in his hands.

"I'm sure she's coming. She's just running a little late." said Nadia.

Then they saw her. She was again wearing the red cloak she had last time they met.

" Hello Mrs.-" started Nadia.

"Shhhh…"

"We know, we know. We'll blow your cover." said will.

" Yes." she said, " Now. Why did you call me down here? Daddy's still a little mad from the whole dinner scene."

"He is. Oh dear." said Nadia.

" Well. He's a little cooled down. I convinced him some, that it wasn't your fault. You were just not used to cooking. An he said he could understand that."

"Good," said Nadia.

"Yes. Now again, why have you called me down here?"

"Well, I think I know how to get our jobs back, an how to earn the governors respect."

"Really? How?" Asked Elizabeth, she seemed interested.

"Well-" he said unwrapping the sword.

" oh my word. You made him a sword?" she said taking the sword.

"Well yea, I was about to tell you before you rudely interrupted." he mumbled.

"What?" asked Elizabeth, she had already started to unwrap the sword some more.

"Oh nothing." he said smiling, " Oh, be careful with it. It's very precious."

"I know, I know" she said. She finished unwrapping it from the cloth it was hidden beneath.

"Oh Will… it's perfect! He'll love it. Here…" she said grabbing his hand, " We must get it to him at once."

All together, they raced towards the manor. When the got there Will became very nervous. He knelt down, an put his hands on his knees.

"Will, what's the matter?" asked Nadia.

" I'm deathly nervous. What if the governor doesn't like my work. What if he kicks us out again? Nadia, you know if he does we have no where to go. We'll be back on the street."

"Look" said Elizabeth, " I'm not going to let that happen. Either my father lets you in, or I.. I'll be mad at him forever."

Will looked at her. No matter how bad that sounded, it didn't matter. Mrs. Elizabeth was sticking up for them. Instead of being a loyal daughter, she was being a loyal friend. An that's what mattered.

"Thanks." he said. Nadia nodded an smiled. They walked up to the door. Will slicked his hair back, an puffed out his chest. He didn't want the Governor to notice how nervous he really was. Elizabeth opened the door. She walked in an went to the stairs. Nadia an will closed the door, an stood close by it.

"Daddy, you have visitors." Elizabeth yelled up the stairs. After a few minutes they could see the governor walking down the stairs.

He took one look at them an started to go back up the stairs, " I thought I put them back on the street. Why are they back in my house?"

"Daddy, You have to understand. They didn't mean to burn the food. They just don't know how to cook very well. I was in the wrong on that part. Daddy, please give them a second chance. Will even brought you a present to apologize, an Daddy I'm sure you'll really enjoy it."

"Oh, all right. Anything for you sugarplum." He walked down the stairs, " now young man, what's this present my daughter speaks of?"

" Well sir. I'm really certain you'll like it. I made it myself-"

"Yes… get on with it."

"Well I'm a blacksmith and-"

"A blacksmith? You don't say? My daughter didn't mention anything about you being a blacksmith."

"I'm surprised. She was pretty amazed by it, when we talked about it before in the library."

"Yes, I was Will. I just didn't get the chance to tell daddy about it just yet."

"Now…now…Now , we'll talk about that later. Show me what you have brought me!"

Elizabeth handed Will the sword she was carrying. She had wrapped it back in its cloth surroundings. Will Slowly unwrapped it, an handed it carefully to the Governor.

"Here you go sir." he said.

The governor looked it up an down. Inspecting it very closely. He did this for a very long time. Making Will, an Nadia even more anxious then they were before. Finally he spoke.

"Young man… this is exceptional. Never have I seen a sword anything like this."

"You…you like it?" asked Will.

"Do I like it… I love it. I say young man, what a gift to be given. You, an your… sister?"

"Yes sir…"

"You two definitely have your jobs back."

It was quite a scene. Will an Nadia jumped for joy. They hugged, an spun each other around. Elizabeth even joined in! This really was a dream come true!

"Thank you sir… oh thank you." he went up to him an gave him a great bear hug. Will looked at him. He didn't know if he should of done that.

"I'm sorry sir. I was just happy sir, that you gave us our job back."

Surprisingly the Governor let out a light chuckle. "Its ok young man. Your very welcome. Elizabeth show them to there rooms. They'll start working again tomorrow." He smiled an walked up the stairs.

"That I'll do daddy. That ill do."
