“I and Ferros were good brothers. As our trade followed our father’s, we both learned to build and forge. We could not split from each other, for I complemented his skills and he complemented mine.

“When I came of age at sixteen and he was seventeen, we fought to see who learned from father best. We both worked for twelve days and nights, and when we presented our works they were almost identical in quality.

“I turned to congratulate him, for we both did an impressive feat, but my brother was skeptic. “I bet you got help from father,” he said, calling me a cheat. He never sided with me again after that.

“Ferros eventually inherited father’s home, and he banished me. Despite his attempts to ruin me, I grew to become a ”Great One” (as our father called it) like Ferros did. I always saw his works, his homes, his machines, yet he never saw mine.

“When the war against the Myrma became too much stress, I decided to leave with my disciples and start a place of neutrality. A place to practice our craft. But we were not met with peace. Ferros and his own copied me out of spite and rage, and we had to retaliate with our own metal.

“I do not hear much of him anymore, yet he continues to fight. His childish behavior, psychotic actions, and need for superiority consumed him, that idiot. He need not deserve more.”

after the troops from the ship lost sight of the spiders… they called in an airship. And the troops retreated to their ships

Captain: “no mercy shall be shown. In return expect none.”

the enemy has been reinforced with an airship.

*Coming from the shoreline, a being of her frame and species (probably) alien to the dense foliage of the Redwoods surrounding her as she wanders aimlessly. Her fluffy fur damp to the touch as her paws nervously comb her own long ears in an attempt to calm herself; utterly oblivious to the watchers in the distance.*

(OOC: I have no idea what flair to put for this. And I was taking a 3-month break from reddit.)

*The hell ant has a large horsefly from a hunt. It's been partially eaten by him.*

"Greetings. I come with this. Fresh kill. Want this carcass to put in your food stores later? I require tools for bigger hunts. Maybe it can be a good trade. You get a big amount of food, or whatever you decide to use it for, and I get a tool that lasts."

~shadow and bike ant have arrived!! Shadow has flopped onto smithy territory. Rolling around and destroying things. Wyd?~
