Chapter 16
(y/n) POV
"(y/n) honey, it's time to wake up." Lady Freya said as she woke me up. It's been a few days since I joined the Freya familia and the entire time she's been trying to be my mother, giving me anything and everything I want, I've told her to stop trying so hard and that I need time, but she doesn't listen. After about a day I got bored and she gave me the "important" job of evaluating the familia's equipment. "Can't I just sleep in?" I said, "No you cannot. You have a job to do, it will take you a few more days at the least to complete. And then you will get to do what you enjoy." She said, "Fine." I said as I got up.
"Next." I said as the next familia member put their gear on the table, "Trash." I said, "WHAT! I SPENT ALL MY SAVINGS ON THIS GEAR FROM THE HEPHAISTUS SHOP! ARE YOU TRYING TO INSULT ME BRAT!" He said, "This isn't any work lady Hephaistus would allow to be sold in her shop. This low-grade trash could be mistaken as a real piece of Hephaistus equipment to a novice with absolutely no knowledge of armor or weapons. You were conned." I said, "HOW DARE YOU BRAT!" He shouted as he tried to punch me, "You will not lay a hand on lord (y/n)." Otar said, "Hmmm." I said as I knocked on Otar's swords, "Not bad, but I could do better." I said, "I'm sure you could my young lord." He said, "Ok bored now! I'm gonna go and don't follow me or I'll tell Lady Freya you almost let me get hurt again!" I said as I left.
I went to a rather shady part of town I would normally never go to, but lately, a lot of things have changed and so have I. "Beat it, kid, before you get hurt." a man said, "Here's what's gonna happen, you're gonna lead me where I want to go no questions asked or else." I said, "Or else what? Are you gonna cry?" He laughed, "Or else I'll kill you." I said as I put the tip of my dagger against his stomach, "Are you gonna take me where I wanna go, or do I have to kill you?" I said, "F-Fine!" the man said.
"The Devil's Nest. Not my favorite place in the world, but it's the only place I can find the materials I need." I said as I entered the shop, "I believe you have an order for the Ishtar familia." I said, "So the Gods are sending kids to do their dirty work, are they? Yeah I've got an order like that, but kid you don't want anything to do with this stuff." the owner said, "Oh and why's that?" I asked innocently, "Trust me anyone who'd use this stuff is worse than anyone you'd meet here kiddo." She said, "Please ma'am I need the order otherwise Mommy will be very angry with me." I said, "Alright, but be careful and don't even look at what's inside these creates alright." She said, "OK!" I said as she brought ten creates out into the shop area, "Not even Goddess Hephaestus will so much as mention this stuff." She said, "Excuse me miss are those magic swords?" I asked, "Yes they are. Are you interested in them?" She asked, "Yeah!" I said, "Well from what I know of them, they were made by someone called the Sword God. I heard that the swords made by them are supposed to be insanely powerful." She said, "Awesome!" I said, "Well I should get going!" I said as I picked up the creates, "Oh, but before I go those magic swords are failures." I said, "What do you mean kiddo?" She asked, "I mean I made them out of boredom the other day." I said, "I do like the name they've given me though, Sword God. It's fitting considering I'm a demigod who forges the most powerful magic weapons." I said as I sat the creates down, "I'm sorry about this but I can't have you telling anyone I was here." I said as I snapped my fingers and the magic swords she had hanging on the wall flew off and floated by her throat, "H-How?!" She asked in fear, "Simple. Lately, I've been adding enchantments to all my swords that allow me to control them. And now that I've answered your question it's time for you to die." I said as I snapped again and the swords decapitated her, "I can't have you telling Goddess Freya or Goddess Hephaestus what I'm doing." I said as I picked up the creates and left.
"I finally have it. The strongest material this world has to offer, Black Silver." I said as I held an ingot of the silver, "It's supposed to be even denser than Bell. Although it does corrupt those who use an item made from it embuing them with an unquenchable bloodlust." I said as I began to forge my first Black Silver weapon.
After several hours it was finished, a Black Silver short sword.
"(y/n) honey are you in there?" Lady Freya asked as she entered my workshop, "Oh what are you working on? Another magic sword?" She asked, "Yeah. I just some great materials and I wanted to get to use them." I said, "Well that's no excuse for skipping out on your work." She said, "Yeah, but I can tell you exactly what I think of the equipment of the familia. It's all trash, hardly fit to be called equipment." I said, "If it were up to me I'd make them new gear myself." I said, "Well that's not up to you. At most I'll ask you to make a magic sword or two for a select few." She said, "Now, it's getting late and you need your rest." She said as we went home. 'It's almost funny. She has no clue what I'm planning.' I thought as I locked my workshop.
