Eating off the street like a beggar was difficult for the prideful Zadi Medmar, but survival was necessary when laser focused on a single task; the blonde swordsman simply could not focus on more than one task at a time, so taking up a real job would not be possible while attempting to craft a sword! Silly as ever, Zadi the kimono-wearing sword-crafter just needed one more night to complete his above-average creation - just one more night of suffering before entering the coliseum.
Unless I want to make a shield...hmmm...my health says otherwise.Tired and hungry, Zadi wouldn't have much of a chance against the two guards if they called for backup, so either Zadi become ruthless or attempt to remain stealthy. For the wayward blonde, moderated violence the only type of bloodshed Zadi was willing to partake in; to kill innocent guards just to craft a sword would be too unstable for the stability-seeking swordsman. Therefore stealth was Zadi's only reasonable option, but what kind of stealth? Knock out the guards somehow? Zadi was too weak to control his trained yet waning strength, but the flow of Zadi's magoi wasn't much different - perhaps his magoi flow was even more fluid since seeking stability under the blind guidance of fate?
The Orb-Weaver's Thread
Upon pulling out
Gut's the String and using
The Orb-Weaver's Thread to freely manipulate the organic string, Zadi's mind seemed to flash to the last instance of Orb-Weaver's Thread - the Kou Civil War within the swamp encampment. There Zadi had attempted to use the string ability to make a surprise attack against his primary target hidden behind a wall of trained, military-level guards. The versatile, stealthy strength of the string manipulation may have been too much for Zadi's conscious at the time for a moment later Zadi crushed his final Shard of Solomon to wish for stability.
Thankfully I don't plan to kill anyone this time~His mind rubber-banding to the present, Zadi didn't feel swayed from using his magoi-manipulated string to temporarily bind the two guards standing watch over the blacksmith's shop. Death was not on Zadi's mind this time, only fear of instability should he fail to remain stealthy. With a flick of his wrist, Zadi surged his graceful magoi through the string, manipulating the long strand of purple to bind and temporarily silence the two guards with blinding speed. Being a short distance from the two guards, Zadi would have more than enough string to fulfill his intentions and complete the smithing of his new sword.
From the stifled reactions from the guards, Zadi could tell his plan had worked - the guards were bound and silent until Zadi felt ready to leave with a newly-crafted sword. Keeping himself hidden from the bound guards' views, Zadi continued his project and felt capable of embellishing upon the sword's design. Zadi's wish for stability did not terminate the swordsman's passion for the fabulous. Maybe more so than before, Zadi Medmar felt compelled to remain true to his passions and seek only the most fabulous of items to add to his collection~
Anyway, a few hours later, Zadi left with a crimson rapier made out of passion for stability. The guards were released from their bindings after Zadi felt safe, prompting the guards to predictably call for help from other guards. However, more guards would not matter anymore - Zadi completed his work and created a fine sword.
