Chapter 26: Blacksmithing II
Glancing at the window, he saw orange sky and decided to craft Mark Spear and Emily Bow next day.
Next day at the smithy Jake proceeded to craft Mark spear.
After placing the alloy block on the Anvil he started heating it with Inferno Forge.
With each strike of the hammer, Jake focused on shaping the alloy into the form of a spear. The Mark Spear was to be a weapon of precision, and he envisioned its design to reflect that intent. The orange light from the forge danced on the metal as Jake meticulously worked on the blade, ensuring it would be sharp and agile.
The spearhead took on a sleek and streamlined shape under Jake's skilled hands. He paid careful attention to the balance, making sure the weapon would be easy to wield and deadly in the hands of its user. The shaft of the spear, crafted from a sturdy yet lightweight material, began to take shape as well.
After what seemed like hours of meticulous work, Jake stepped back to inspect the Mark Spear. Satisfied with the outcome, he could feel the weapon's potential coursing through the carefully crafted form. The orange glow of the forge reflected in the polished surface of the spear, giving it an ethereal sheen.

"That idiot I asked for his essence but he gave me his core essence" Jake cursed Mark stupidity as looked at the Spear status.
[Don't worry, the damage to his core can be easily healed after he eats your Mom cooking] Nexus said.
Jake nodded as he knows his Mom usually add Holy spring Dew to meal, to increase his natural regeneration ability.
Jake continued his craftsmanship, transitioning from the creation of the Abyssal Frost Lance to the crafting of Emily's Bow. The forge's flames danced in rhythmic patterns as he meticulously worked on the delicate components of the bow.
As he placed the raw materials on the anvil and ignited the Inferno Forge once again, he envisioned a bow that would complement the mystical properties of the Abyssal Frost Lance. The orange glow from the forge illuminated the workshop, casting shadows that seemed to dance with the promise of a new creation.
The limbs of Emily's Bow took shape under Jake's skillful hands. He paid close attention to the curvature, ensuring a balance between flexibility and strength. The bowstring, made from a special material he had acquired, promised resilience and responsiveness.
After hours of intricate work, the components of Emily's Bow were ready to be assembled. Jake carefully put the pieces together, each one fitting seamlessly into the next. The finishing touches involved adding enchantments that would enhance the bow's capabilities.
With the final piece in place, Jake stepped back to admire Emily's Bow. The bow radiated an aura of elegance and power. Its design, although not overly ornate, hinted at the mystical energies that coursed through its structure.
[Zephyr Frostcaster

Arrow Creation : The bow can create elemental arrows, allowing it's wielder to never run out of arrows]
Jake nodded approvingly and then placed aside the Bow, he then looked at the last piece of Alloy block and rubbed his chin, trying to find best possible creation of it.
As Jake pondered the creation for his friends, a thoughtful expression crossed his face. With a determined gleam in his eyes, he decided to craft a set of unique and personalized accessories for each member of the group.

Returning home he jumped on his bed and slipped into peaceful slumber.
Next day in the park
"Hope you guys are ready for a surprise" Jake said as he presented the weapons he has crafted to his friends.
The group gathered around Jake, their curiosity piqued by his announcement. As Jake revealed the personalized accessories and weapons he had crafted, a sense of awe and appreciation spread among his friends.
"First, for you, Emily," Jake began, presenting the Frostwhisper Bracelet and Zephyr Frostcaster.

Next, Jake turned to Jimmy, offering the Sonic Surge Bracelet and Blade of Thunderous Echoes.

Then, Mark received the Glacial Cascade Bracelet and Abyssal Frost Lance
Mark admired the bracelet, appreciating the craftsmanship. "Jake, this is fantastic! I'll make sure to put it to good use." and then Mark marveled at the craftsmanship of the spear. "Jake, this is beyond amazing! I feel like I'm holding a piece of me."
'And I really want to smack your head for that, who asked you for your core essence' Jake thought clenching his fist in threatening manner.
"Are you okay?" Mark asked looking at Jake face.
"I am, now how about we.." As Jake was saying Mark interrupted and said " No, No Gate run"
"I was asking for a spar though" Jake looked at Mark and said.
"That can be done" Mark nodded brushing the previous talk like it was never there.
Soon the group started to battle and only after a satisfying duel they ended their sparring session.
As they were laying on the soft grass of the park they heard footsteps coming towards them , turning their heads they saw Reynold.
"Let's go at Tom place, we all decided to throw a farewell party for you all" Reynold said motioning them to follow him.
Jake and his friends nodded and enthusiastically followed after Reynold.
The spacious and beautifully decorated living room of Tom's house is adorned with colorful streamers, balloons, and twinkling fairy lights. The aroma of delicious food wafts through the air, teasing everyone's taste buds. A long table is set up with an assortment of appetizers, finger foods, and a mouthwatering spread of main courses.
As guests arrive, the atmosphere is immediately filled with laughter and chatter. Jake's parents, Sera and Reynold, are mingling with the crowd, sharing stories and engaging in animated conversations.
