The blacksmith exhaled "well, time to work" he said getting back to a sword blade. Though the blade was still within its primary stages, he still found time to work on the belt and so many other tasks. Every 30 minutes he would put the sword back into the heat and start working on the belt. After the belt, he pulled out some cupcakes out of the oven, poured some freshly purified syrup, started working on a wood plaque, made some fresh leather straps, washed some utensils, and got back to the sword.

Well, here is the application. It's for a night guard around here, we need someone though do you fit the requirements?" He said a bit grumpy

night guard sounds intresting and i was a temple guardian so i do have experience. -he fills out the application signing his name epos okoto and dates it handing it back to the officer-

While Epos was signing the documents, he over heard two ponies reading over a news paper. "Can you believe it?" The first of the two said, "The prized Gem of Crest Water was stolen last night."
"I know," replied the second one, "according to the news paper, the security was not aware of the heist until after it was completely done."
"What more," the first one added, "they spotted that miscreant Vici Veritas at the scene."
"Oh that pony always seems to be at these crimes when they occur."
"They didn't catch him as he slipped out of thirty grasp once again."
"It's just a matter of time before his crime catches up with him."

The officer takes the application and puts it behind the counter. "We will inform you if you get the job"

ok thank you. -he turns and makes his way out of the building and heads to the museum to look around as he sighs- such a nice morning to be alive.

The museum breaks down the history of the town, the original immigrants, his the river has served as transport for years, how it has grown into the city it is today, and the growth it is racing for in the future.

he smiles as he keeps walking looking through the exhibits to see if theres anything from the temple he guarded as the temple was way past ancient but it was also half way across equestria-

All knowledge inside was just on the local area. Outside of some national history to fill in gaps about the original settlers and famous ponies who lived and where born in the county, nothing was in there.

he looks around- hmmm pretty interesting history this town has. -he walks out of the museum looking around as hes getting to know the area-

Park downtown, second and third street had businesses and places to hang out, there is a dock at the river with boats on the water all hours of the day, a all on fourth street, and several shopping centers on first with a bride out of town. A rail road used to run through the town but is long since abandon. Tug boats run on the river and the next big town close to the village is Pleasant Point.

he smiles and walks back to his house to get a bite to eat before starting off somewhere else to look around as he checks to make sure there's no malevolent ponies near-

Quiet town. Nothing really ever seems to occur within its borders. The ponies are kind and the police spend a lot of time just waiting for crime to happen. Sometimes it occurs, other times it fits not. Today is a calm day.

-he relaxes taking out an apple and bites into it while he thinks of what to do-

He seems to sense a small bit of malevolence but as soon as he senses it, it disappears.

his eyes narrow as he closes his eyes using his magic to extend his plane of sight to the radiance of the town to look at the location of the malevolence cause where it would appear it would show as a red smoke he can see.-

It originated in a cemetery close to town but it then walks into a building as the door shuts cutting out the red smoke

The earth pony finished his breakfast and caught a ride several miles down road to the Gallop-polis Ferry. Paying the fee, he went on a trip up the river to catch the train heading out of Coltlumbus.

Dressage keeps working on the sword. While working, he noticed his watching room was getting filled with tourist ponies, since his shop was a tourist attraction, he dint mind, in fact he tunned out the chatter except when something important came drifting across the watching room, across his leather/wood crafting table, across his floor over to his ear by his blacksmithing station. This days was one of those days. "Hmmm vici veritas spotted at another crime. How unfortunate" he said to himself, this was not the first time dressage has heard of vici's thefts but something dint add up. Though they dint add up, he would still need proof to see if his mental theory has any weight to it, But none the less it may just be gossip. As for the work in dressage hooves. It was actually needing completion. The sword was ordered by a pony in town who dressage swears would not know beauty if it came over to him and imbeded itself in his eyes. He could remember the conversation smoothly. Dressage could remember pulling cupcakes out of his double glass sided oven. The pony came in still awestruck about the armor in the front 3 viewing windows.

Dressage: how may I help you?" Dressage said coldly

Tourist: I'd like a sword.

Dressage: first I need an id

Turrist hands over id as dressage writes down the info "ok how would you like your sword." Dressage said handing back the id and pulling out a pencil and notepad

Well first, I would like a sword with only 1 sharp side of the blade, i'd like it to be at least 3 feet long, and I would like a Dragon as the handguard.

"What type of Dragon?"

What's the most beautiful of them all?

I would say a chiniegh Dragon"

" What does that look like"

"They are long like ribbons, thin and light and are able to fly with no wings"

"THAT IS THE UGLIEST TYPE OF DRAGON..... sorry, but I would think of something like a wyvern"

"Great, the ugliest flying reptile around" dressage said under his breath "your sword shall be done in 2 weeks and will cost 200 bits"

Alright" the colt said dropping the money and walking out.

That was 1 week and 5 days ago, and here it is, so close to completion. After putting the final touches on it, he would have the sword done a day ahead of time. The blacksmith drops the handle thorough the curling tail and bolts the handle. After fixing the pommel to the base, he holds the sword up in the light to show it's well craftedness in the light. After shinning the sword, he put it in its scabbard and put it on the counter with a sold tag, after doing this he gets back to the belt buckle.

In the mean time, a earth pony walked into the shop. He had a royal red coat, short, steel colored mane, and a cutie mark with two flags connected at the base. "Um, excuse me," he said timidly, trying not to attract attention in a shy manner.

The blacksmith puts the buckle back into the fire "how may I help you." He says in his normal tone
