Earnestly Yours

Din plans something special for Y/N.

"I pledge myself to your happiness, my starlight," Din said vehemently and pressed a gentle kiss on your forehead.

Pairing: Din Djarin x plus size F!Reader. You are in an established relationship.

Warnings: mentions of body insecurities

A/N: This is the first fanfiction I've written in over 8 years. What I visualize doesn't write well on paper, sadly. So, this is my first attempt back, and I welcome constructive criticism and good feedback, too.:)

You continue walking on the path Cara had sent you to in the secluded forest. You didn't realize how time flew by until you noticed the sun had gone an increment down though it still peered over the horizon. Your boot stepped on the crunchy foliage that you found oddly soothing. It helped to distract you with the short 10-minute walk. You made it at the end of the path, and you admired the beautiful field of wildflowers surrounding the area, a picturesque view to behold. But Din was nowhere to be seen. You walked further into the field and turned to look at every angle.

"You look beautiful, my starlight."

You heard a familiar modulated voice behind you. A wide smile formed on your face, and you turned around to look at him. He was standing five feet away from you. You and Din made your way to each other until you were only a few inches away from each other, your gazes fixed on each other. He extended his gloved hand to your cheek and caressed it.

"I missed you," you say softly.

"I missed you, cyar'ika."

He extends his arm out for you to grab, and you put your arm around it and get closer to him.

"I think Cara gave me the wrong directions. I don't see a seller around here."

"It's 20 minutes away from here, but I just wanted to meet you here first. I didn't want you walking alone." He admits.

It heartened you to know there was someone who would stand by and make sure you were safe, guarded against anyone who would hurt you. You hold his arm tighter.

You both make your way to the unknown destination, and you admire the scenery and Din's presence.

He asks about your day, and you tell him about the trip to the cantina and the market and how adorable Grogu looked with his floral crown. You also say to him about the nice older man who gave you the bouquet.

"Hmm," Din manages to utter, and you sense a hint of jealousy.

"This man," begins.

"-is old," you say and laugh. "How was your bounty hunt?"

He loosens his arm from you and takes a moment to respond, and you wonder if you were to blame for his new demeanor. You frown at the thought and let your arm fall to your side.

At last, he responds. "We went after a group of thieves who owed a cantina owner in the upper east money."

"Sounds like an easy hunt for the Mandalorian and Cara," you say.

"It was," he responds coldly.

The conversation ceased for a couple of minutes.

"We're almost there," he says.

You can hear what sounds like a stream. You decide to listen to that to distract from the awkwardness of the situation.

"I'm sorry if I intruded too much," you utter, unable to hold it in.

Din halts and looks at you.

"What do you mean?" He looks at you with open curiosity.

"I asked you about your bounty hunt, and you didn't seem to like that much." You were unable to meet his visored gaze.

"Y/N..." he grabs your hands to his chest. "I am a di'kut. You rightfully misunderstood my silence. I--can you trust me for five more minutes?"

You nodded but now were completely confused at the situation.

He let go of your hands and continued walking, but he quickly grabbed your hand and intertwined his gloved fingers with yours. You felt the familiar warmth emanating from his gloves.

The stream was louder, and you glanced at the flickering glitters of the water.

"What a peculiar place for someone to sell spare parts," you said what you were thinking out loud.

Din laughed.

"We're here."

You turned to look at your surroundings. You saw a quilt laid on the ground in front of the river with flowers spread around it. It was magical, but you were still confused.

"But Din, the Razor Crest-"

"Is fine. It doesn't need any maintenance."

You arched your eyebrow at him.

"Hope you don't mind a short getaway," he said, and you can hear a smile form from his tone.

"You planned this?"

He nodded. "Your question back there about the bounty hunt caught me off guard. I hadn't prepared a lie."

He caressed your cheek affectionately. "I hate lying to you or omitting anything from you. You did nothing wrong," he reassured you.

You grabbed his hand that caressed your cheek and kissed it.

"You did all this for us?"

He nodded. "We haven't had time to spend alone... so with the help of Cara and a few villagers this morning, we were able to set this up."

You look at him with an enamored gaze and wrap your arms around him.

"This morning was long and arduous, cyar'ika. Each second was painful in your absence."

His words that escaped from the low timbre of his modulated voice renewed your vigor.

You wrapped your arms around his neck and gave him a gentle kiss on his helmet where his lips would be, more or less.

He sighed in relief and let out a soft laugh, and he pulled you closer to him, his hands pressed gently on your waist. His touch, his words, and his actions made you feel beautiful and desired. Your insecurities and the voice in your head that tried to convince you that you couldn't be loved for not being a smaller size decimated at your feet. It was just you and the man you loved.

"I can hold you in my embrace for eternity," he began, "but I want to show you around."

You let him go and laughed and made your way down to the dome across the river. He opened the door for you, and you entered to see the room filled with hundreds of exotic flowers and plenty of petals on the floor that led to a path that followed to the... bed.

A flush of color bloomed on your cheekbones, and you couldn't meet his visored gaze. The hair on the back of your neck prickled, and your face burned under the weight of his regard that was so intent that he might as well have been touching you. You never shared an intimate moment such as this, and you wondered if today would be your first.

He put his hand to rest on your waist and pulled you closer to his side.

"I hope you like it,"

You let out a small squeal of delight. "Din, I love this. Everything is perfect. I love you."

Din ran the tip of his finger lightly over your bare hand. There was so much affection and regard in that simple gesture, and you will never tire of it.

With a broad smile, you and Din hastily made space on the quilt laid on the floor outside. You both sat next to each other and relished the scenery, just enjoying the sound of the streaming water that happily hit the rocks.

"I want you to see me," he broke the silence. His words were uttered slowly as if he pondered the import of each word.

You glanced at him, completely mystified by his meaning.

He raised his hands to grasp the rim of his helmet, and you immediately stopped him before he could remove it.

"Please, don't," you pleaded with him. "I promise you on all the stars above that I can go my life without seeing you, Din. Don't break your Creed for me."

He immediately turned your palm up, and both his hands gripped yours tightly.

"Would you love me more if you saw me?" His tone dejected. "I'm afraid you'll decide to leave me one day or that you'll tire of being with someone you can't see."

You felt the warmth of his grasp, and you felt slight trembling. He was nervous.

"I'm absolutely all in, Din," you said with a sincerity that was heartily felt. "I love you, and nothing, not even your Creed, will make me love you any less. Hell, you loved me when I thought it impossible. You loved my every perceived insecurity. You loved me when everyone else dismissed me. I love you, and I love you, I love you. I can spend all night here telling you every reason why I love you if that would make you believe me. I don't need to see you." You looked at Din, your gaze filled with adoration, and you smiled so sweetly at him.

He closed your hand into a fist and put them gently on your side. Then he continued to lift his helmet until you saw him. You sat there, your eyelashes fluttering in utter surprise. Your breath rasped, and your heart pounded.

His alluring brown eyes met yours for the first time.

"Y/ N," he said finally. Your name sounded like a caress when he uttered it.

But you sat there still silent as a stone, yet your gaze was still fixed on the handsome man sitting in front of you. You were mesmerized at the man you loved who stared back at you without the barrier of his helmet.

"Mesh'la," you whisper and smile at him. He lets out a shy laugh, and you go on to reach his face, but you feel something slip from your grasp.

You can still feel Din looking at you as you look frantically under your surroundings to see what had slipped. Maybe you were a nervous wreck and losing your mind, but then from the corner of your eye, you see a glint next to the basket—a ring.

You pick it up and look at it, now realizing that Din had put it inside your hand when he gripped them.

"Din..." you don't know what to say.

"You gave me something I never knew I wanted," he observed you. "Our aliit gave me purpose and stability."

With his exposed index finger, he traced your lips. He finally leans forward to you and presses his lips against yours.

After some time, Din breaks away and looks at you. Your face is flushed and hot. Your surroundings suddenly felt impossibly intimate, and you could not draw a full breath.

"What does this mean for you?" You manage to ask. "As Mandalorian, I mean."

"I spoke to the Tribe. They like you, Y/N, and they approve of us. They reassured me that being with you does not make me a dar'manda." His thumb slid across the inside of your wrist in a gentle caress. "The Armorer forged this ring with a part of my beskar for you," he said as if attempting once more to cast any doubts you might have. "I want you to be my riduur, my wife. I want to bind my soul to yours."

You are overwhelmed by your emotions, and tears begin to collect.

"I want to build a marriage like the one my parents once had... and I will always protect you and Grogu with my life."

You let your tears that had been collecting stream down your cheeks.

"If someday you decide that you want a bigger aliit, then..." he didn't finish, and you had the impression that he was blushing, but you understood what he meant.

"Yes," you say. "I'm yours."

The simple statement stole the breath from his lungs, and he looked at you with an enamored gaze. He put the ring on your finger, and then he pulled you in closer to his embrace.

Your heart leapt when you titled back your head and offered your tempting lips to him. His mouth was soft. Din brushed his lips against yours as though he would memorize their outline. His thumb moving across your chin in a caress that threatened to melt your very bones. His other free hand stroked your back, the same masculine hands that had protected you so many times during bounty hunts, the same hands that were so loving with his every touch. Your enthusiasm fed his own passion as nothing else could.

You had certainly never loved a man with such vigor that your heart ached so at the very sight of him.

When at last his mouth lifted, setting you free, you let your forehead drop to his shoulder, and you listened to the undisciplined force of his breathing.

"I pledge myself to your happiness, my starlight," Din said vehemently and pressed a gentle kiss on your forehead. 

You held his hand and smiled benevolently. You vowed to encourage him, love him, welcome him home always. Your riduur, whom you swore to buoy when his spirit faltered, was earnestly yours.

Hi hun!! I have a prompt!! So, Zuko was born into an obviously conservative family and with all that royal training and everything, he usually speaks with proper grammar and etiquette. Enter: Sokka. Sokka has the most filthy mouth in terms of speaking and anything in general. He can turn a simple conversation about dinner into something that makes Zuko blush unintentionally. I just want to see more flustered!Zuko out here!! Ty!!

hello love! it’s probably not what you expected, it’s definitely not what I expected, but there’s a lot of flustered!Zuko, so here we are

I don’t think it’s nsfw? but it’s also not entirely sfw??

ok here’s Sokka’s got a filthy mouth and a filthy mind and now Zuko does, too almost 2k words

Zuko spent three years of his life traveling the high seas, so he spent a fair amount of time around sailors. As a banished prince, he didn’t necessarily have his pick of the lot when it came to choosing his crew, and very few men on his ship ended up being the upstanding sort typical of the Fire Navy. Instead, the men Zuko lived with during his early teen years were often slippery, prone to debauchery, and crude. They swore frequently, mercilessly, and thoroughly, and after a couple of bottles of soju, could not have been stopped by the sea itself from telling detailed stories of their sexual conquests, the deck of the ship rollicking with tall tales of quivering thighs and heaving breasts left behind at the last port. For a long time Zuko couldn’t understand why he didn’t enjoy these stories, or why all the other men did. Still, despite his uncle’s careful influence, Zuko experienced his fair share of vulgarity on his travels, and largely as a result of the seafaring men surrounding him. 

Yet he finds, time and again, that he has never met anyone whose mind or mouth matched Sokka’s.

They are all sitting around the courtyard of the Fire Lord’s house on Ember Island, idly waiting for dinner to finish cooking, when Zuko hears a gasp. He looks up from sharpening his swords in time to find Sokka standing next to Katara at the pot full of their food. 

“What the hell are those?” Sokka demands. 

“Sea aubergines,” Katara says matter-of-factly, though Zuko hears the annoyed undercurrent of her tone.

Sokka lets out a peal of laughter. “Katara, they look like dicks!”

A governess once struck Zuko for using such a word, and he feels the sting again as he gapes at Sokka’s relaxed form. He almost expects Katara to lash out or yell at her brother, but instead she barely rolls her eyes. 

“It was all they had at the market,” she says. 

“Aang!” Sokka calls, cupping his mouth with his hands. He waves the airbender over. “You need to see the size of these.”

Aang skips over easily and leans over to look into the pot. 

“Don’t they look like a bunch of dicks?” Sokka says, nudging him with his elbow. 

Aang immediately bursts into laughter, his hands coming to rest on his stomach. Zuko can only gawk at them and the casual way they react to such language.

“Where’d Toph go?” Sokka asks. “She’d get a kick out of the dicks.”

“You idiot, I’m blind,” Toph says from her position lying on the stairs.

“You can still—” Sokka notes Katara’s glare and the fact that Toph is still a twelve-year-old girl and immediately retreats. “Right, then,” he says, taking the ladle from Katara and scooping up one of the phallic vegetables, “Zuko!”

Zuko lifts his head, the dismay clear on his face. 

Sokka waves the sea aubergine in the air maniacally. “Don’t you think it looks like a dick?” he almost shrieks.

Zuko tries not to wince at the word, and instead lies, “I don’t see it.”

“What?” Sokka looks between the vegetable and the stony look on Zuko’s face. “Are you serious? It’s even oozing—”

“Enough,” Zuko says. The island heat seems to have suddenly gathered entirely around his face. “Don’t be disgusting.”

Sokka’s face breaks into a boyish grin. “So, you do see it.” He waves the ladle in the air, the sea aubergine clinging by its tip to the bowl of the spoon.

“No,” Zuko continues denying.

Katara puts her hands on her hips and finally addresses her brother. “Sokka, would you cut it out? We’re going to eat that.”

Sokka ignores her. 

“Here, Zuko,” he says casually, holding the ladle handle with both hands for some reason, “maybe you just need a closer look!”

And all of a sudden, a slimy, tan-and-purple, mottled, tubular vegetable is hurtling across the courtyard straight at Zuko. Before he can even think about it, he closes his eyes and catches it right in his hands. Then comes the heat, so high and concentrated from the cooking pot, that his hands immediately pull apart, and the aubergine flops, useless, on the courtyard ground.

Zuko looks up and glares, and for the first time since going back to the Fire Nation, he swears.

“Damn it, Sokka, that’s hot!”

Sokka stops laughing abruptly, and his expression turns mischievous. “I didn’t know you swung that way, Zuko.” A blush erupts across Zuko’s face as he suddenly hears his own poor phrasing. Sokka smirks. “Good to know.” 

The blush is still on Zuko’s face when they finally sit down to dinner, and it’s all he can do not to choke at the sight of Sokka’s ruthless grin each time he takes another bite of slimy, limp sea aubergine.

A couple of years after the war ends, Zuko finally lets Sokka drag him on a trip to see Master Piandao. Sokka’s already gone back a couple of times to forge a new sword and for training, but Piandao hasn’t seen Zuko since before his banishment. He politely does not react to Zuko’s scar, and instead scrutinizes the close relationship between the two young men. 

“Knowing you when you were younger,” he says in his measured tone to Zuko, “and knowing Sokka,” he continues, turning to look at the younger swordsman, “I wouldn’t have imagined you two being quite so drawn to each other.”

“What do you mean?” Sokka looks up from where he’s flicking Zuko’s arm. He throws his own arm around Zuko’s shoulders and pulls him in close, beaming. “We’re best fucking friends!”

Zuko looks horrified at the blatant lack of refinement in Sokka’s language, and in front of their swordmaster no less, but Piandao remains unperturbed. In fact, if Zuko squints hard enough, it might even look like he’s smiling. 

“Well,” Piandao says, picking up his own sword, “let’s get started.”

Their training session does not last long.

The two young men are caught in almost a death grip, their swords biting into each other, and their bodies so close they are practically panting in each other’s faces. Sokka’s managed to disarm Zuko of one of his swords, cast aside on the patio of Piandao’s house, and looks smug even as Zuko pushes against him. Hard. 

Zuko, on the other hand, looks enraged. His leg is smarting where Sokka smacked him with the flat edge of his sword, and he has suddenly been made frighteningly aware of the fact that Sokka is now taller than him. He glowers up at Sokka, pressing back against Sokka’s sword with all of his strength, which he worries will not last as long he needs it to because since he last checked, Sokka has gotten broad, and Sokka has gotten strong. 

Zuko feels a growing desire to ram his sword through Sokka, and his glower turns to a grin as he considers it. The ramming. And then a thought fills his head of how Sokka would interpret that word, and he’s shocked when he doesn’t hate it, and it makes him even angrier. Sokka’s definitely rubbing off on him. And there he goes again.

“All right, it’s a draw,” Piandao says from his safe distance away. 

When neither boy pulls back, he calmly walks over and pulls them apart. They both slump onto the ground, panting like polardogs in heat. 

“You’re clearly very well matched,” Piandao says thoughtfully. He waits until both boys have cooled off before he continues speaking. They sit in front of him, waiting for instructions. He nods and gestures for Fat, the butler, to join them. “There’s an orchard on the way to the village full of plum trees.”

Fat hands Zuko and Sokka each a towel.

“Best plums I’ve ever had,” Piandao continues. “Sweet and juicy, and a little sour, too.” He takes the beverage Fat hands him. “And this time of year, the trees are full of them.”

Sokka and Zuko wait as Piandao sips his drink. He hands it back to Fat.

“Go home. And walk through the orchard on your back,” Piandao says, pointing in the general direction. He bows his head slightly at the two swordsmen in front of him. “Training is done for the day. I’ll see you early tomorrow morning.”

Zuko and Sokka look at each other questioningly but scramble to do as they’re told. 

Fat stands behind Piandao as they watch the two run off toward the orchard. “Those two,” he says with a shake of his head. 

Piandao glances behind himself and then forward at the boys again. A thin smile graces his mouth. “They’ll figure it out,” he says warmly.

In the orchard, Zuko walks resolutely back towards the house they’re staying in, while Sokka takes his time to languorously pick individual plums from the passing trees, biting into each of them with gusto. Juice drips down his lips and chin, even down his neck, and falls from individual fruits down his wrists and muscled forearms. His appetite’s only grown as he’s gotten bigger, and so has his enthusiasm for eating. He makes loud slurping sounds to prove it.

“Stop that, would you? It sounds awful,” Zuko says. 

“I can’t help it, they’re so juicy,” Sokka replies, waggling his eyebrows at Zuko. He holds one of his plums out. “Are you sure you don’t want one?”

“I’m sure,” Zuko practically barks.

Sokka shakes his head. “You’re just mad because I tricked you,” he says, referring to the three times he’s managed to pull Zuko in with the promise of a bite of plum, only to rip the fruit away at the last minute. 

“I’m not mad about that,” Zuko says angrily.

Sokka raises his eyebrows. “Then what are you mad about?”

Zuko gestures back toward Piandao’s house. “We must have done something wrong if we got kicked out,” he says glumly.

Sokka stares at him. “What? We almost killed each other. In a swordfight, I’d say that was doing it right.” He pulls out one of his plums. “Besides, you heard Master Piandao. We’re well matched.”

Zuko sighs. 

Sokka bites into the plum, and his eyes go wide. He holds the fruit out to Zuko. 

“Zuko,” he says seriously, “try this one. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted.”

“I don’t know if I trust the guy who goes around eating random plants all the time.”

“Come on,” Sokka almost whines. He shakes the plum a bit in Zuko’s face. “It’ll make you feel better.”

Zuko gives him a hard look. “You’re not going to take it away again?”

“I’m not going to do it again,” Sokka promises, his face genuine. He almost looks caring. 

Zuko eyes him suspiciously, but leans toward the plum. The skin is shiny and dark purple, the color of an eggplant, but the flesh inside is a bright and brilliant pink, exposed by the bite from Sokka’s mouth. Juice trickles down the edges of the bite into Sokka’s outstretched hand, and Zuko briefly wonders what it would be like to skip the plum altogether and take Sokka’s fingers into his mouth, to lick the juice off of them. 

Zuko swallows and tries to toss the image out of his head, finally leaning toward the fruit. Just as his lips make contact with the plum’s skin, a high-pitched moan erupts from Sokka’s mouth. Zuko pulls his head back immediately to find Sokka grinning widely, and he fixes Sokka with a hot glare. 

“You’re disgusting,” Zuko snaps.

Sokka smirks and takes another bite of the plum. “Ah, you love it,” he says, and he continues making those awful slurping sounds all the way back to town.

1831 Monday 10 October

7 55/.. 11 55/..

Up at 7 and lay down (went to bed again) - fine morning - Fahrenheit 64°. now at 8 35/.. - breakfast at 8 50/.. - got a man as guide took Cameron and George and out at 9 40/.. - walked to the Dockyard in 10 mins. [minutes] - waited there 10 mins. [minutes] and then, a party of 7 or 8 besides myself being assembled, an intelligent sort of person took us in charge, and we began the round at 10 and it took us till 11 50/.. - I was beginning to make pencil notes as usual but the man said it was not allowed - I was not expecting to find this the case in England - however it was no great matter -

Went 1st. to the mast-rooms - masts of all sizes - the old ones took larger timber - those now made consist of from 30 to 52 pieces - apparently squares about 6 inches square and about 20 feet long? - saw the main mast of the victory (100 guns) - 52 pieces and would weigh about 12 tons - of american pine as were a great many of the masts - then passed the store (lying out) of anchors, an amazing quantity - 5 anchors for each vessel - saw those for the Nelson § [Margin - vide next page] (120 guns - will in reality mount 134 or 136) weighing above 97 cwt [hundredweight] - all of wrought iron welded together - would take 17 men a fortnight to weld one anchor - each anchor for the Nelson would cost ten or eleven hundred pounds - then to the ropery - rope cables 22 inches in circumference the thickest 27 inches circumference, but chain cables most used now -

Then to the anchor forge - the anchors moved to and from the fires by cranes - they used to have enormous bellows 6 or 8 yards long and 4 men to blow them by treading on them very hard work - now (for these about 10 years) have a constant current of air kept up and stronger than ever before produced by 2 barrels (about 4 1/2 foot diameter) something like a churn half filled with water turned backwards and forwards by 2 men - 2 valves - one in each half of each end - so that when the water falling to one side shuts the valve and presses the air out into the tube communicating with the fire the valve of the other half the barrel opens and lets in air which is the next turn pressed out by the falling back of the water as before - there being a tube from each of the barrels meeting in one tube near the fire, there is by this means a constant current - one of the gents. [gentlemen] present observed that at Mr. Guest's iron works at Merthyr Twydvil in South wales, the bellows the largest in existence was a steam engine which pumped up air thro' a large cylinder - I must see these far-famed works -

Then went to the copper furnaces and rollers these are merely for the old copper - all the new copper is bought by contract in sheets ready done - the copper when taken liquid from the furnace in ladles is put into moulds forming plates of perhaps 1 1/2 feet by 1 foot and perhaps 1/4 inch thick - these are eventually rolled out (at twice) into four thin oblongs perhaps 3 1/2 by 1 foot - when rolled out to the last size, they are rubbed over with some acid, put into the furnace till red hot, then suddenly thrown into water on which the outside blackish coating immediately peels off and the copper appears that bright red copper colour we peculiarly call and know by the name of copper colour - inquired but could not learn what was the acid the sheets were mopped over with - they said it was an acid - a particular composition - the sheets were lastly put upon a roller that marked them thickly over with anchors in such sort that it is easy to know government copper -

The man too in passing an old rope pulled out one single green thread from one of the twists or threads of the rope - but mentioning the forges and furnaces I should have said that from the store of anchors we went to the block machinery (very curious) all turned by one centre wheel turned by a steam engine which was partitioned off from us so that we did not see the engine itself (of 50 horse power) - saw a block made from the square piece of Elm (because Elm does not fly off in splinters) to the last finish of the copper-eyed lignum vitæ (because very hard wood) pulley (what did the man call it?) and iron pin which fastens it within the block for the rope to run on - the man who worked the machinery that polished the iron pin was not there that we merely saw the principle of his machinery and how it worked - these 3 men (the Elm man, lignum vitæ man, and iron pin man) during the war made 12,000 blocks a month and supplied the whole navy - they are not in full employ now - tho' they still make for the whole navy - the man shewed us a large new building (enormous almost square span of roof) for making boilers for the government steamers - none yet in hand there - only a few iron tanks to mend -

From the copper furnaces, went on board the Indus 80 gun ship building these 4 or 5 years and still only (I think) the hull done - built on a new principle - diagonal timbers all along her inside in squares diamondwise so that if she strikes, she cannot spring a plank and directly fill with water and go down - 16 or 17 inches thick of timber covering of these diagonal timbers - what an immense machine! what strength! how mighty is man! how mightier far the wave that snaps his work in pieces like a bit of glass! the Indus built partly of English partly of African oak - then pass the Nelson § [Margin - § vide last page] built in India? of teak - has undergone a thorough repair - where laid up smear them all over with a yellowish composition to keep them from dry rot and roof them over to keep the weather from the deck -

The HMS Indus, finally launched from Portsmouth in 1839 [Image Source]

Left the Dock yard at 11 50/.. (no difficulty - had merely rung the bell, and asked to see it) - took boat at 11 55/.. and rowed off to the royal George (of which Lord .. Fitzclarence is Captain) the royal yatch that the late King went to Ireland and Scotland in - has 70 men - 310 tons (I think) - but what ever she is Lord Yarborough's yatch the Falcon lying near, and looking like a man of war, is tentons ten tons more - this last mounts 14 six pounders, and can take care of herself when the guns not mounted the gun carriages fit up as wash-stands! 50 men? the royal yatch a magnificently fitted up vessel - great deal of gilding without - great deal of comfort and luxury within - the rooms or cabins hung with a glazed calico (up these 15 years) that does and looks admirably well - shut-up chairs, the most excellent travelling concerns I ever saw - by Edward Bailey upholsterer etc. to his majesty mount street Grosvenor Square - an admirable wash-stand that holds a bed - capital for any dressing room - these too of Bailey -

From the yatch rowed across to the new victualling offices close to Gosport - we should have had an order to see them? but did not take any pains to get admitted - an enormous brick pile, - a large square projecting part of it towards the water standing on columns - then rowed forward and landed in Cold harbour Gosport - walked along the works, and came in at the far end of High street very good street very soon passed (left) the neat small house of Mr. Titcher and then near it same side the large 3 or 4 story (brick - all the town brick) best house in the town? of Mrs. Page (has been for some time confined to her bed), Mrs. Henry Priestley's uncle and mother -

Went into the handsome market house and reembarked close to there and in about 20 mins. [minutes] rowed off to the Victory the ship on board which Nelson was killed at Trafalgar - saw the spot where he fell - near (close to) the prow skylight - then went down to the 2nd deck (or mid-deck?) where a court martial was sitting admiral Sir John Gore president - Captain Lord ... Fitzclarence sitting, and 4 or 5 more officers at the table - Backhouse (1st. mate?) versus Captain Belcher of the Ætna bomb - Captain B- [Belcher] brought Backhouse to court martial, and then Backhouse brings the captain to ditto for lastly cruelty and unofficer like conduct and and several other charges that went before - 25 mins. [minutes] there - Backhouse seemed giving rather uncertain evidence - within musket shot and clear day yet could not tell whether signals were up or not - hurried off at last because when Backhouse was called on as to the last charge he said he could not repeat the word Captain Belcher used because there were ladies in the court myself and Cameron and a lady or famale [sic] person what shocking nonsense! I waited for no more but hurried off vexed that there should be such humbug should -

The HMS Victory, Lord Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, can still be seen at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard [Image Source]

High water now abouts (at 2 1/4 on leaving the Victory) - rowed down to near the entrance to the harbour (about 1/4 mile across) and landed near the round fort that defends it at 2 40/.. - sent home Cameron and George to get all ready for being off, and myself took the guide, and walked round the ramparts - soon came to what they call the King's steps where the King lands, a sort of small squary windowed ornament tower - but a battery? there - and several batteries all along - very strong place - double moated and ramparted - from just beyond the Kings stairs magnificent views of Spithead, Isle of Wight, see Ryde quite plain - Fort Monckton and its barracks, and Haslar hospital and Gosport, Stoke just beyond it, and Anglesea Crescent the Duke of Norfolk began about 2 years ago (2 miles from Gosport - near Stoke) for a watering place, but the work is not going on just now - 'Tis Portsmouth only within the fortifications - beyond these is Southsea (quite a town and Southsea castle a low thick round fort about a mile from the rampart where I stood) - then Portsea where the docks are, then on the other side the harbour Gosport - at high water a mile across - finest harbour in the world - the largest ship ride in safety - but if they should get aground it is only in mud, and the next tide gets them off unhurt - the new custom house a large pile of building, and immense government store houses close by - High street and 1 or 2 more good streets and 2 or 3 pretty good churches in Portsmouth -

Went into bookseller's shop near the George, and bought Portsmouth guide - no plan of the town in it - no plan of it allowed to be published - the George hotel (Guy) High street - very good hotel, and not dear considering - my expenses were more than usual, but I had dinner 4/6 and 2 bottles soda water 1/6 and servants dined I suppose when I sent them back for their expenses were 11/. - my wax lights and good sitting room were 2/6 and beds 5/6 and all that and the rest as usual - back at 3 25/.. -

Settled all and Off from Portsmouth at 3 42/.. - soon passed under the 2 covered ways (arches) and over the 2 wooden bridges - part of the last a drop bridge - still town, Portsea, or Southsea, or something, for a considerable distance the whole backed by the chalk range of Portsdown - at I suppose about 4 miles from Portsmouth (at 4 10/..) pass port's bridge, 2 wooden bridges over 2 canals or fosses and a military station like a french porticoed barrière close (left) by the road - then at 4 1/4 a short distance Portsbridge turnpike and then at 4 1/4 the neat enough little town or good village of Cosham - my once for a moment idea of staying there and taking horses thence to Portsmouth, would not have answered - the George Inn the best apparently is quite like a common Inn, and one at which one would not think of stopping, save on a pinch - at 4 17/.. turn (right) at the end of Cosham down to Havant, a village-like little town - neat enough little place posting Inn, the blackbear - a continued street for some distance - neat little liveable cottages (left) along the road - sea and shipping now and then right - Range of down (good sheep pasture) all along at a little distance (left) - 5 1/2 p.m. late enough for seeing anything now -

Enter Chichester at 5 55/.. - pass the cathedral close (right) - a lengthy, fine enough looking church - then beautiful gothic pinnacled rotunda, or market cross, or what, in the middle of the street and then immediately wide good street and alight at 6 at the Swan hotel - very good small sitting room opening on to balcony towards the street - good bedroom another flight on 2de. [secunde] and very comfortable - tea at 6 1/2 - sat over it till 7 3/4 - musing, as I had been all the way this afternoon and as I have done perpetually since seeing yesterday morning the gothic windows at Cowes -

On the plan for altering Shibden hall so as to make it liveable - put such gothic windows as at Cowes into both gables - take the drawing room end groundfloor and above for bedrooms and dressing rooms - take away my uncles room and butteries leaving only room enough for light stairs - Gothicize the passage like that to the courthouses at Norwich - pull away the kitchen part and parlour and all that instead of which add to the breakfast gable a part to correspond with the present hall and beyond and joined to that another gable extending backwards length enough to allow that is wanted - then taking a light gothic passage off the upper kitchen and likewise off the new hall-corresponding-part and all thro' the new gable everything would be comeatalbe [sic], and there the whole suite of rooms to the south opening into one another - new gable, or drawing room? new hall-corresponding-part, or dining room? present breakfast room enlarged by all the present upper kitchen but enough for gothic passage - present passage gothicized and perhaps heightened and lightened by the present library, present hall thrown up to the roof, and present drawing room fitted up as a French dress bedroom - the present passage would have 4 gothic doors - 2 on each side, at each end - 2 opening into the hall (with billiard table?) and 2 opening the one into the new passage along the upper kitchen etc. the other into the present breakfast room - the ground falls so rapidly to the East, that I think laundries and cellars etc. might all be under the new gable -

Very rain-threatening day but fair - raining heavily now at 10 35/. p.m. and has been for some time - great deal of rain fell during last night, too - Fahrenheit 64°. now at 10 35/.. p.m. at which hour had just done all the above of today - came upstairs at 10 50/.. -

Winter Activities!

Legolas:   The prince of the Woodland Realm is all about hunting this time of year.   Yes, it's cold.  Yes, it's dreary.  But man, the game is truly spectacular.   To be honest, he usually does his ACTUAL hunting when you're not with him.  It's not because you can't keep up because you're awesome and can slay like no one's business.  But if Legolas has managed to get you out away from the kingdom...in the privacy of the woods...with the possibly of getting you cold and letting him warm you up?  Well, he's not an idiot.   He doesn't squander such lovely opportunities.

Aragorn:   Lol, 10/10 you're out riding horses.  Probably scouting but just using it as an excuse to get in a ride.   You most definitely did not throw that snow ball that hit him smack dab in the face.   And he most definitely didn't pull your ass off your horse by the leg.  And ya'll most certainly didn't have it out in the snow.   No, never you two.   Noooooooo. ;)

Frodo:   Sweet Frodo Baggins reads you a book as you mill about outside.   You're a busy little bee and while he likes to take him time and relax, he sure does enjoy accompanying you on whatever it is that you've decided to do at that moment in time.   Even if what that is, is probably going to get you both in trouble.  Frodo is in love with The Shire but it pales in comparison to his love for you.

Sam:   An exciting trip to the market!  It's lively even in the cold of winter!  Everyone is out and about with harvest from the summer!  Dried fruits and vegetables!  Jars of preserves! And possibly his favorite!  The fresh food!   Fires blazing with pots of soups and stews bubbling away for sale!  Hot mead and spiced cider!  Sam either offers you his arm or holds it snugly around you the entire time!  The two of you keep warm but cozying up and filling your bellies!  You return home to your cottage with full bellies, baskets of food and ready to snuggle up by the fireplace!

Merry:   Merry probably takes you for a date at the Prancing Pony!  The two of you take Bucklebury Ferry across the Brandywine River to Buckland and then on to the Pony.    You probably have a nice meal there with a pint of ale.  Merry had arranged a room for the two of you for the night just so you can get away for a bit.  You probably mill about town the next day, collecting this and that before heading back home to The Shire.   Adventures don't always have to be half way across the world, you know. ;)

Pippin:   Oh, Pippin, lol.  You are the spark to his flame so whenever Gandalf is near he gets as many fireworks as he can.   Pippin probably gets you all cozied up for winter temperatures and prepares a picnic.  You argue with him about how impractical it is to have a picnic in the dead of winter.  However, you go because you love him.   When you reach your destination and he builds a small fire to keep you toasty.  You admit it's nice.  Eventually darkness is on the horizon and you pack up to go back home but he's disappeared.  Not in the mood for his games, you almost throw a fit.  However, you nearly jumped out of your knickers when you heard an explosion.  You search it out only to find your crazy love.  Soot on his face and hair a mess.  The poor fireworks exploded in his face, lol.

Boromir:  Ah, the Captain.   There he was with his men in a very important meeting when something hit the window.  At first, he ignored it but then again...and again.  Eventually he checked it out only to see your cheeky grin as you teased him.   He scolds you but you only shake your bottom at him and run away.  He shakes his head but returns to him men with a much merrier look to him.

Thorin:   Without a doubt, he's working the iron.    Before the journey back to Erebor whilst he worked as a talented blacksmith...you were his ever faithful wife. On cold winter days, like this one, you made sure your duties were finished rather quickly and you took him lots of snacks.  The forge was warm from the roaring fires and he usually ended up with his shirt open a little.  You'd sit, wrapped up in furs, watching the sweat roll of your beast of a husband and you can bet your sweet ass that you weren't cold anymore.  Also, Thorin - the cheeky shit- knows this.  It's why he kisses you sinfully on those days.   Like a mouse to cheese he leads you to him.   He quite enjoys watching his little wife all hot bothered for him.  Makes it even better when he takes you at the end of the day.  

Dwalin:   Dwalin is out chopping wood to feed the fires necessary for winter. And you?  You follow him...because that's just how you are.  And also because you would rather DIE than miss watching your husband's muscles ripple.   He tells you if you're going to come along then you're going to hurt.  You and he both know perfectly well that you're more than capable of cutting wood.  And damn good at it.  However, you fake it everytime just so he'll stand behind you and 'show' you what to do.   It's become quite a routine for the two of you now.  

Bilbo:   You and Mr. Baggins enjoy some pipeweed on the front stoop for a while before retiring inside to enjoy some delicious meals and perhaps a bit of song if he feels inclined.   Also note: when Bilbo's been on the pipeweed, he's a little handsy.   Think about the lovey dovey potheads you might know.  That.  It's literally that, lol.

Bard:  Bard watches from the window as you play with his children out in the snow.  Snowmen, snowball fights and just flat out chasing each other until you all fall down out of breath and make snow angels.  You grin up at him and his eyes twinkle from pure adoration.  

Thranduil:   The King of Mirkwood takes you for a ride on his elk.  The forest is absolutely spectacular and it twinkles from icicles shining in the sun! The guard is near but he doesn't care for their eyes so he snatches you around in front of him for a bit more privacy.   He simply shrugged when you give him a look.  "I wanted a little more privacy for us." he simply replied and the two of you kept riding on.  

Fili: The young King in Training was in meetings with his uncle and the advisors all day.   Kili was supposed to be there but he'd snuck away.  The two of you waited until they all got inside before you pressed your noses up against the window.  Fili nearly spit out his tea when he saw your ridiculous face.  However, he lost it when Kili's tongue got stuck to the metal framing of the window.  

Kili:   Target practice. Effing target practice. In the freezing freaking rain. "Kili, I'm freezing!" "Good, because when it matters you'll already be frozen.  It'll be deadly temperatures and it'll be raining so hard that you won't even be able to see your hand in front of you face." "If I die from the sickness, I'm haunting you forever." "Good." he said. "I'll make sure to play all your most hated music then." You had to resist the urge to shoot him in the foot. He pulled you into his arms and kissed you beneath your earlobe. "Now what?!" You exasperated. "You hit this target, in the rain, freezing, with me lighting you up....and I swear I'll sharpen and clean your weapons for a month." You'd never loosed an arrow so quick in your life.   And hit the target on the first try. Also, Kili had never rushed you back to the room and peeled your clothes off so fast in HIS life.

Heeey, smoochies! I hope you enjoyed this bonus content for Smoochmas! !  If ya like it, please be sure to let me know in the comments and check out my masterlist! Link on profile!

Love, Mama Kennysaurus

Metal Forging: All About Different Forging Methods And Their Uses | Pahladrai Forgings

Forging is a manufacturing process in which the metal is pounded, pressed or squeezed under heavy pressure into high powered strength parts known as Forging. The process is typically performed by preheating the metal into its desired temperature before it is given the shape. But it is crucial to remember that this process is entirely different from that of Casting Process, as the metal used is never poured or melted, which is being done in the casting process.

Why Use Forgings And Where Are They Used?

Forging process creates stronger parts than those, which are manufactured by any other metal process. This is the reason Forging process is more preferred as reliability and human safety are utmost important. You will rarely find forgings in daily day to day life as they are the component inside parts of assembled items such as automobiles, airplanes, ships, oil drilling equipment, engines, tractors, missiles, all other kinds of capital equipment to name a few.

Who Purchase These Forgings?

These customized parts vary in various shape, size and finesse - from the wrench and hammer in your toolbox to accommodate tolerance precision parts in the Boeing 747 and NASA space shuttle. In fact, a 747 Boeing contains nearly 18,000 forgings. Some of the purchasers and consumer markets include national defence, aerospace, agriculture, automotive, mining, construction, material handling and general industrial equipment.

What Metals Are Forged?

Any metallic substance can be forged. However, the common metals which are used are alloy and stainless steels, carbon, brass, copper, aluminium, titanium, hard tool steels, and high-temperature alloys containing cobalt, molybdenum or nickel. Each of these metals has its own distinct weight or strength characteristics which provide maximum utilization if best applied to any specific parts by the customer.

How Are Forgings Produced?

Gear Forging, or  copper  Forging , or be it forged steel rings, are all done by customized shaping of the metal by deformation that includes a myriad of techniques and equipment. The key to understanding forging designs, one needs to know the forging characteristics and operations of how the metal flow and what each produces. Forging is one process which takes into the metal's natural flow of grain into its advantage to confirm the unique contours of each part.

Hammer and Press Forging

The forging copper and other metals are carved into shape either by a press or a hammer. Forging done by the hammer is conducted out by repetitive blows. But the hammer forging and its productivity all depend on the techniques and skill of the operator. With the rise of technology and the arrival of automated hammers, it has resulted in the lesser time taken, enhanced flexibility and lesser worker dependency. During the process of the press, the stock is hit usually once in each blow.

The Open Forging or Hammer process

Open die forging is nothing but a modern day extension of the hammer and press process that a metal smith practised in anvil the pre-industrial period.

In the open die forging process, the workpieceis not entirely held in the die to give the desired shape. Usually, the open die forging technique is connectedwith large parts such as metal shafts, sleeves and disks. Most of the open die forging products is built on flat forging dies. Sometimes the round swaging dies and V-shaped dies are utilised in along with the flat dies.

Methods implemented on open die presses include:

·  Outstretch and reduce the cross-section of the ingot or billet and expand it

·   Upset forging to decrease the length of the ingot or billet where only one side of the metal requires forging

·  Upset, outstretch, and piercing processes coupled with forging over a mandrel for unevenly shaped forged steel rings

As the open die forging includes hammered or pressed workpiece, it is frequently manipulated within the dies till it gets its final forged shapes. Because the process depends more on the workers' skill, this process is ambiguous and substantial workpiece stock quantities are preserved to provide forging abnormalities.

The forged parts of the workpieceare roughly shaped and finished to final dimensions. But with the increasing demand and use of the open die forging method and all other forging processes of this type are being automated.

On the other hand, the features of roll-forged elements are very satisfying. In most cases, roll-forged components have no flash, and the metal grain structure is convenient and constant in all parts. The forged steel rings and rolls offer a certain amount of descaling, making the product exterior smooth and free of scale pockets.

Impression Die Forging

In the impression die forging process, two dies are taken together and the workpiece goes through plastic deformation until its developed sides reach the side walls of the die.

 During the process of impression die forging, some material starts to slip outside the die impression, forming some flashes.

 Once the flashes cool down, they form intensified resistance to deformation. These cooled flashes build pressure inside the bulk of the workpiece and help material flowing into the vacant impressions.

 Closed die forging, another type of impression die forging, is performed within a narrow cavity that restricts excess material from flashing out. This process is not dependant on the flash formation. Thus this is the most popular type of impression die forging.

 The forging dies become more influential than the workers' skill in case of impression die forging methods. Impression forging program usually shapes materials and finish the piece with the preform, pierce, or cut method.

 Precision Forging

Precision Forging means close-tolerance or close to final type forging. This forging technique is not a special technology but an advancement of the existing forging methods to a point where the forged part can be fitted with little or without any subsequent machining.

 These advancements include not only the forging method but also preheating, descaling, lubricating, and temperature control works. But the application of Precision Forging method depends on the relevant financial condition of the business. Due to expensive tooling and development costs, precision forging is usually limited within the exceptionally high-quality apparatus.

 Steel Ring Rolling

Ring rolling has grown from an art to a stringently managed engineering method. Faultless forged steel rings and other metal rings are constructed on a wide range of equipment.

 Ring rolling gives a product a consistent, smooth exterior with peripheral grain orientation. These rings generally have diverging strength and elasticity, and often are less costly to manufacture than closed die forgings.

 In whole, the ring rolling process gives uniform grain flow, ease of production, and adaptability in material, volume, size and geometry.

 Cutting-edge ring rolling apparatus can roll different shapes in both inner and outer breadth of the forged ring, allowing them for unique weight reductions,and reduced material and machining expense.

 Extrusion

In the Extrusion method, the forging workpiece is put in a container and pressed till it reaches the flow-stress level. The workpiece then thoroughly fills the container, and further pressure causes it to move through the cracks, and create the extruded metal piece.

 There are different variants of the extrusion process, and many of them are patented. In all states, the degree of heating, the competence of scale elimination or restriction, and the effectiveness of lubrication are matters of obvious concern. The variety of shapes produced through hot extrusion is various. Dimensional precision, surface property, and productivity are high, and a higher range of deformation can be accomplished in a single procedure than in any other metal forging technique.

 Extrusion can be Direct as well as Reverse, depending on the direction of motion between the ram and the extruded product. An extruded product can be both hollow and solid. Tube extrusion is ideal of forwarding extrusion of hollow shapes, and reverse extrusion is best for mass manufacturing of containers.

 Piercing

Piercing method is closely connected to reverse extrusion process. However, it is recognised by the higher flow of the punch that is related to the velocity of the workpiece material.

 Secondary Processes

Along with the primary forging methods, secondary methods are also employed often.

 Deformation -The deformation method is such a secondary forging process where divergent compression is applied. The width of the drawing ring may be reasonably smaller than the external width of the pre-forged crust to manage or reduce wall density and raise the height of the shell in a drawing or ironing procedure.

 Bending - Even after the completion of copper forging, forged gear, or any other metal forging process, bending can be performed. Furthermore, bending can be applied at any stage of the forging process.It is nearly impossible to build complicated shapes in only one die impression. Thus performing forging stock by bending or rolling the forged metal, or by following a fundamental die may be more profitable.

 Preform Forging - The preform design in metal forging performs an essential role in advancing the forging product characteristic, such as defect-free quality and proper metal movement. Preforming also helps in improved productivity, extended die life, and reduced worker expenses. Copper Forging, steel forging or any other metal forging in single die impression is usually effective for much smaller parts.

Special Techniques

After deformation of metal, the forged parts often undergo added metalworking. In case of open die forging the flash is removed. The punched holes may be required, and polished surface finish, as well as closer dimensional accuracy, may be needed. To meet the requirements, additional forging techniques are implemented.

 Trimming - Flash is trimmed before the forged metal is ready to use. Seldom, mainly with crack-sensitive alloy metals, trimming is done by grinding, sawing, milling, or flame cutting.

  Coining - It is typically the sizing works with stress applied to sharp surfaces to increase tolerance, smoothen surface, and reduce draft. Coining is usually performed on exteriors parallel to the parting line, while ironing is meant to be forced by a cup-shaped element through a ring to measure on the outward diameter. Minor metal flow is included in either direction and flash is not grown

Swaging- This is related to the open die forging method how the stock is drawn out within the flat, narrow dies. However, instead of stock, the hammer is wheeled to deliver increased blows to give the forged metal the desired finishing. Swaging can be paused at any stage in the length of stock and is usually used for pointing tube and bar ends and for manufacturing advanced columns and shafts of decreasing width.

 Different Types of Forging

There are three major types of forging – Cold Forging, Warm Forging and Hot Forging.

  Cold Forging

Cold forging involves either closed die forging or the impression die forging with lubrication and circular dies at or near room temperature. Cold forging usually processes carbon and standard alloy steels like forged steel rings. These cold forged workpieces are generally proportional and rarely exceed 25 lb. The main benefit of cold forging is the material savings due to its exact shapes that need little or no finishing. Fully enclosed impressions and extrusion metal flow allow draftless, close-tolerance elements. Thus, production rates are very high with outstanding die life. While cold forging usually enhances the mechanical qualities, the change is not useful in commonoperations and economic advantages are principal interest here.

  Warm Forging

Warm forging has plenty of economic benefits that mark its rising use as a production technique. In the warm forging, the temperature range of forging steel runs above room temperature to below the recrystallization temperature. However, the temperature ranging between 1,000 and 1,330°F is most preferred for the highest commercial potential for warm forging. Compared to cold forging, warm forging has the potential benefits of minimised tooling charges, decreased press loads, improved steel ductility, removal of the need to tempering preceding forging, and desirable forged properties that lead to eliminating further heat treatment.

 Hot Forging

In Hot forging method recrystallization occurs concurrently with deformation, thus circumventing strain crystallisation. For this to occur, high workpiece temperature, resembling the metal's recrystallization temperature, must be achieved during the entire process. The kind of hot forging is isothermal forging, where materials and dies are heated to equal temperature. In nearly all instances, isothermal forging is carried on super-alloys in a vacuum or extremely repressed atmosphere to stop oxidation.

The Blade of Arandus

Chapter 2- The Dagger

Synopsis: Luwyn wanders around the market, and finds a peculiar little hut. Inside he finds treaures including a more peculiar dagger.

Word Count: 2010

Author’s note: While writing this chapter, I kept thinking how random it felt, out of place. But near the end of editing, it’s in the perfect spot. Enjoy!

WIP Page | Characters 

(Read Chapter 1 here! )

Luwyn pulled back a curtain and stepped into a little hallway. The hallway opened up into a single circular room. The air inside the hut was foggy and full with smoke and incense. It was dark, the red tarp was thick and blocked out the sun, and there didn’t seem to be anyone inside. Luwyn crept around, stepping carefully in the dank hut.

There was a low, dim light coming from behind a tarp on the other end of the hut. Luwyn looked around, then stepped over to the tarp, and pulled it back. The light came leaking from a little room hidden behind the tarp. Racks on racks of weaponry and armor filled the tiny space, each more ornate and exotic looking than the last. There was a silver breastplate with thorns etched into the metal and little sapphires lining the edges; a huge helmet wrought of gold, the visor and mouth piece sculpted in the shape of an eagle’s beak; a spear, set with a diamond at the tip of the staff and wicked blade as long as Luwyn’s forearm; a beautiful set of necklaces, delicate strands of shimmering diamonds and so much more.

Luwyn was looking over an egg made of emerald that was as big as his head, when saw a familiar glint from the corner of his eye, and turned to search for it. Scanning the racks for the source of the glint. He found it on a little table set off to the side; a dagger with a curved, vicious blade. The hilt was gold, emblazoned with purple jewels that Luwyn had never seen before. He picked up the dagger, the metal cold and heavy in his hands, and examined it with close detail. The same curly symbols that were etched in the gold walls of the Palace were engraved into the blade of the dagger. They were small, wound in and intricate an little design that flowed along the blade like a vine, but somehow Luwyn could make out each symbol clearly.

Up close, the writing was unlike anything Luwyn had ever seen. Every slashing or winding line of each symbol was unique, aside from when they repeated. The entire line seemed long and complicated at first glance, but the closer Luwyn peered, the more each symbol stood out and rang in his mind.

Instinctively, he sounded the symbols out. He knew no other languages, but this writing seemed so easy to understand, so natural. The sounds came out hot on his tongue, like he was talking with peppers in his mouth. But the more he struggled and stumbled over the sounds, the easier he found them to pronounce.

“Ta...ta ta ta...taaa...taaarrr…” The first word started stumble out of Luwyn’s mouth. It burned hotter this time, like scalding water in his mouth. But he pressed on, determined to complete the line. “T-tarr...an...taran a..v-viii—,” He stopped abruptly when something wrestled from behind a rack on the other side of the hut. Luwyn hunched down. His stomach dropped into his pants, and his eyes were wide and frantic.

He waited for someone to call out to him to get out, or grab him my the back of the neck and throw him out, but nothing happened. Luwyn sat for a few beats, peeking wearily between racks. Satisfied that there was no one actually there, he stood and looked down at the dagger. He knew he didn’t have enough coin to buy it, and knew that Jahal certainly could not afford it. But he wanted more than anything to know the language on the side of the hilt, to read the symbols on the palace walls. He’d never been so motivated and it surprised him. That motivation pushed him and he went over the options in his head.

Luwyn looked around again, then slid the dagger into the inside pocket of his of his tunic, and slipped out of the little room, then out of the hut. He stepped cautiously around the stalls and back into the seedy little section of the market. No one paid him any mind, and he backed cautiously away from the stall.

He dipped in a narrow alley, the sides closing in slowly but steadily. There were a few windows in the walls of the alley, but no one watched him from behind them. A cat yowled and clambered passed Luwyn’s feet, but other than that, he was sure he was completely alone. He pulled the dagger from his tunic. It was warm in his hands now and glimmered in the dim light of the alley. Luwyn’s eyes grazed over the symbols, and he went back to where he left off.

“Taran...a...viii...vulu?” The last word snapped in his mouth and he knew that he was wrong. Hesitant, he started again. “T-taran a...vi...vuuu—“

“Taran a vi a ulu omia isanusar,” a quiet, frail voice cut him off. He looked up to see an elderly woman, nearly half his height, wrapped in rags, smiling up at him with pale eyes and a gummy smile. “Isanusar ulu avi taran, taran a vi a ulu omia isanusar,” she repeated. The words crackled off of her wrinkled lips like fire and the air popped around her mouth.

She peered at Luwyn. When he stared back with a blank look on his face, she continued. “Very few can speak those words, much less read them. Might you be some great sorcerer or profit?”

Luwyn thought the question over. “No,” he said shortly. He thought her question over, then looked her up and down with narrow eyes . “Are you?”

The old woman shrugged and giggled. Her voice was thin and raspy and matched her frame, but her laugh was that of a little girl’s. “I can tell, boy, I can tell.” She ignored his question and walked toward him. “Do you know what that phrase means?” she asked, eyeing the dagger.

Luwyn pulled back and squinted down at her. He shook his head, then felt the warmth of the dagger pulse in his hand. He looked down and the symbols suddenly seemed less like symbols and more like actually letters and words. He read them fluently in his mind. Isanusar ulu avi taran, taran a vi a ulu omia isanusar. The words swirled around in his mind as he searched for the translation.

“B-blade?” he asked no one, or the dagger. He suddenly remembered the old lady standing there gawking at him and looked up. “Something about a blade...and a god?”

Her eyes lit up and she skipped underneath her rags. “Almost!” she cheered. “Almost. That is a battlecry, a war hymn of sorts, sung by Arandus himself in his time, or so they say. ‘The God-King is every blade, and every blade the God-King’s.’ Dramatic, if you ask me. I personally don’t believe he would’ve said that in battle, but to each his own. He had to have said it at some point in his life…” The woman trailed off, lost in thought, her glazed over and staring just past Luwyn. He decided that this was his chance to get away. As he took a step sideways, her toothy grin snapped back around.

“You don’t act Sirosi, nor do you have the look...and your clothes! So northern! Where have you been, Arcon? Oria?”

Luwyn’s face twisted. “Where have I been—” he started, then thought better of it and shook his head. “I’m from Rodan.”

“Hm. Rodan. I suppose,” she said lazily. “Well, I must be off.” She spun on her bare heel and waddled down the alley.

“By the way,” she called back, a wrinkly finger in the air. “Be careful with that dagger you took.”

“I bought—,” Luwyn started to lie.

“Be careful with it, Luwyn. That is a relic of the royal and ancient house of Arandus, a relic personally forged for kings of Siros, and personally wielded by the last king, Miotus.”

Luwyn looked down at the dagger with wide eyes and wondered how such a valuable item ended up in the darkest part of the market. When he looked up the old lady was gone, leaving no trace of her ever being there. Luwyn had only the words she taught him and the new information about the dagger, and a sudden, haunting realization that he never told her his name.

Luwyn was alone and the alley was quiet again, He stood there and stared thoughtfully at the dagger for what seemed like hours, running over the words in his head.

“Luwyn!”

Luwyn jumped at the sound of his name. It was Jahal. He must have been looking for him, which meant Luwyn had lost track of time, again. He scrambled to put the dagger in his tunic as he walked ahead, his pace quicker with every step.

He ran into something soft, but sturdy and firm and smelled the faint, but familiar scent of wood smoke and sawdust. Luwyn’s heart dropped. He knew who it was and knew what would happen if they saw the dagger.

“What is that?” Jahal asked.

Luwyn’s mind raced for an answer. He chose to lie. “I bought from this weapons stall deep in the market.” His eyes were wide and his lips were closed tight.

Jahal shot Luwyn a bewildered look, then his disapproving brows furrowed and he crossed his arms. Luwyn gulped.

“Oh really? How much?”

Luwyn paused. “Ten copper,” he said after a beat.

Jahal’s eyebrows raised. “Ten copper? Luwyn, the hilt is solid gold, these jewels, the etching. There’s no way,” he concluded.

Luwyn nodded. “An old lady sold it to me. I think she was senile.”

“Luwyn.”

“I didn’t want to be rude!”

“That was rude, Luwyn,” Jahal retorted. His eyes danced with fury.

Luwyn wanted to back down, he wanted to shy away and submit to Jahal. But the heft of the blade in his hand felt right, and reading those symbols felt right. It bolstered his confidence and he decided that the had to move to this strange kingdom, he would take some consolation. He stomped his foot and puffed his chest.

“I paid for this, and I will keep it,” he barked in a cool, oddly powerful tone.

Jahal’s eyes snapped open. He stepped up to Luwyn, towering over him. Luwyn caught his breathe and tried to stand tall and confident, but Jahal’s sheer size made his knees buckle. He waited for a barking lecture, or slap to the back of the head, or his neck wrung for his boldness.

But Jahal backed down, and took two deep breaths. “I have raised you for eighteen years,” he said calmly, “And this is the first time I’ve seen your father in you.”

Luwyn’s ears perked. He crept up to Jahal on his toes of his boots. “What about him?” he asked eagerly.

It was the first time Jahal had mentioned anything about his father besides some debt; the first time Jahal mentioned Luwyn’s father without Luwyn having to bring it up.

Jahal shook his head and turned and waved for Luwyn to follow him.

“Jahal? Jahal!”

Jahal didn’t stop at Luwyn’s protests. He simply stalked ahead, still waving back at Luwyn.

Luwyn huffed and followed. His face was hot, his fists clasped and sweaty. He was breathing hard, and his tunic stuck to his back. He had never spoken to Jahal like that and he was still recovering. There must be something in the air here, Luwyn thought. Something that made them both act so odd.

They walked back to their stall in silence. Luwyn didn’t even look at his new dagger, he just glared at Jahal, hopefully burning holes into the back his thinning head.

They returned, Luwyn helped Jahal load some things back onto the cart quietly. Jahal said something to him, but Luwyn only ignored him and nodded. He slouched down in the back of the cart and hugged his knees and wished that Jahal would tell him more about the father he never knew.

Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining.[1] This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages. The process is usually carried out on sheet metal, but can also be used on other materials, such as polystyrene.Stamping is usually done on cold metal sheet. See Forging for hot metal forming operations.
