Has anyoone here ever played FFXII? I got my idea for my city from Dalmasca, I thought it was a good change from the whole "small farm village" idea.
Here is my next chapter Sorry Hallowed I meant to make this one the long one but I'm going to make the long chapter 8 sorry to get your hopes up.
Oh and thanks Bashen, that means something coming from a good fanfic writer
Chapter 7: The Smiths of Quartag Silafo saw Kurogane in the the light bowgun area arguing with the gun-crafter. "Hey what's wrong Kurogane?" "This guy says I need some extra ore if I want a long barrel on the sandstorm, because it is a 'special bowgun'. Special Bowgun my ass, he just wants some ore for another weapon." " Do you really need this long barrel?" " Yes, well
no, I guess not, but it increases the range of fire in the gun, and allows for faster refire. So it is pretty important." " Well I have some ore I found from my trip, But I kind of wanted it to upgrade my ravager blade." (In Item box not equipped) "I say we demand a long barrel." Kurogane glances towards the gun-crafter with a sadistic smile that made him appear half-out-of-his-mind, scaring the crafter. The crafter started looking through the drawers, walking into the back room and retrieved a blue Bowgun. "I found you a long barrel, if you still want it. It will be around 1200 zeni." Announced the crafter tossing Kurogane his new Cephalos gun. "Yeah, I'll get it." He slides the money on the table to the crafter, the crafter responds by giving him the long barrel. They walk out of the gunner's district, heading to the guild. "What do you say about me trying out my new gun?" "I still have to up grade my Ravager Blade+ because this Viper bite+ isn't doing much for me
" "Okay just make it fast. I'll meet you at the Pale Spice when you're done." He turns around heading towards the tavern not far off in the distance.
Silafo walked to his house to retrieve his Ravager blade+. He always kept it sharp, just to make it look nice. He never really used it in battle unless he was going against a wyvern, but right now with it's strength it would be lucky to take out a Kut-ku. The Shoppe was close to his house, only a few blocks down the streeet
The great sword Shoppe was a large shop filled with Large twisted pieces of metal, probably melted down to make other Swords. The Back of the shop was adorned with bones and creature parts, used to make weapons. It was a bit scary for the customer because there was a always a Gypceros head hanging from the ceiling above the cashier, providing light. Silafo stepped into the pale light smiling at the sword-smith. "Wot you so happy about boy?" Asked the Smith with a heavy Scottish accent. "I've got enough stuff for my Lacerator blade
well, erm my uncle got them but he said I could use them." "You wouldn't be half the hunter ya are now wit out yare Uncle now would you Me boy?" He said picking up the Ravager blade+ up off of Silafo with one hand, swinging it around almost striking Silafo upside the head. "Hey Ringallo, you almost hit me with that!" "Oh, quit yare whining." Ringallo said examining the great sword's serrated edge, "You've been keeping good care of this sword now haven't ya? I can see it because there ain't a smudge of blood on 'ere." "Yup I sharpen it so much it keeps the blood off. Also the machalite covering over the serrated edges keep the blood from staining the sword." "Good you remember what I told you, now give me the parts so I can get you you're Lacerator blade and get on with my life." He said laying down the sword on the counter with a small tap. Silafo reached inside his street clothes and pulled out a necklace that had 4 rathalos claws on it and two Rathian claws, one on each end, He placed It on the desk. Then he dropped his bag and looked for the machalite ore he had mined the other day. "It should be in here somewhere
..ah here it is! Oh come on that isn't funny.." He pulled out the machalite ore and much to his dismay it was covered in dung. "Well Laddie, I guess you're gonna have to wash off that shit if you want yare sword 'ere." He said as he started to burst out laughing. "Ugh," was Silafo's only response. He walked to the back room and found that the faucet had a plesioth head, (a very small one since a real one is as big as a person). He turned on the faucet but, something caught his attention at the counter. Ringallo had started working on Silafo's new Lacerator Blade. He was working hard his eyes fixated on the sword, and sweat dropping in beads from his long black beard. "Wash the ore yet, boy?" He said diverting Silafo's attention from watching Ringallo. "Almost. Does it matter if it smells?" "Nah, just bring it 'ere." He said lifting up the blade, It's red and green hue shone with an eerie glow from the Gypceros light/head hanging from the ceiling. "Almost finished just give me the one machalite ore and the money." Silafo slides the money and ore across the table. Ringallo quickly takes the ore, melts it down adds it to the sword and uses ___ (what are those big puffer things they use for fires?) to cool off the sword and hands it to Silafo. "Now, treat that sword nice now, if you do it'll reward you in battle" (sorry for the corny bit).
As Silafo walks out he sets his sights to the Pale Spice. Living in a desert city means that people will always be looking for a drink, this is a hint to it's success. He finds Kurogane sitting in one of the back booths of the tavern. Looking towards the ceiling like he's tired. He sees Silafo and waves to him, when Silafo reaches the table Kurogane asks how he likes the sword. "I like it, but I do feel kind of bad about having to use my uncle's Rath parts." "If it serves you well it shouldn't matter besides it's a good sword you should be happy." As Kurogane finised his sentence a waitress seemed to appear out of thin air, asking the two what they are going to order. "I'll have a plesioth spray, with a plate of Jungle ribs." "Okay," she says writing down his order "And you sir?" she says looking at Kurogane. "I will have a Rathalos Raspberry and a Meat wagon, medium Rare." "It should be out shortly, please enjoy your meal." She said as she left. "Okay now let's cut to the chase, what kind of quest do you want to test our new weapons on?" Asks Kurogane, leaning over the table. "Hmm...maybe we ought to try something tough like
I know let's go after a Basarios!"
