Club :

This is the story of how Azmere gained a secondary weapon.

“I tinkered with your bow… I hope you don’t mind.” Ercere was seated behind his desk. It was always hard to tell if he was a large man or if the desk was tiny. The dim light inside the tent played tricks on the eyes when it came to normal perceptions. Azmere was standing in the transition to the work tent with a bewildered expression on his scarred face. Vihar, his bow, had been a gift from his grandfather. Azmere had scavenged three talons and the beak of the glassbeak from the night when he received his scars. One talon was given to the man who saved him. The other two talons and the beak were crudely attached to his bow as defensive weapons. Ercere had commented several times on the appearance of the monstrosity as well as the craftsmanship.

Azmere stared at the weaponsmith for several moments before he realized what the smug round eyes and grubby cheeks were trying to tell him. Slowly, Azmere followed the sharply focused gaze of Ercere to a table used for displays across the tent. He saw Vihar resting peacefully with a fresh finish and no odd additions. The frayed string had been replaced as well. Azmere smiled as he stared at the weapon but then his vision strayed to the other object on the table.

“What’s that?” He asked of the smith.

“It’s a club, boy! You got eyes, ain’t you?” Ercere rose and lumbered past his apprentice to the table and lifted the weapon. He described it as he whipped it around and explained his process. “It’s a hardwood shaft that was supposed to be for a halberd but was broken and became too short so it’s sturdy and I bored a hole in the bottom, here, for this leather tie.” He slid the thing over his wrist and gave it a twist. “That’s so you won’t lose it on your horse.” The man’s pudgy fingers continued to model and point out the weapon’s finer points. “The top is just a steel cap that I punched a few pins through it to make it extra secure and then I wedged the beak on this side and ran a pin through it as well.” The beak looked like an odd hatchet blade with how it had been mounted and then the two talons were planted on the opposite side of the club from the beak and nestled in a way that left them pointing out. In essence, they were less like hooks and more like short spikes. Azmere spaced out as he stared at the weapon. He’d never familiarized himself with something like that but it had a raw beauty to it that screamed out for destruction and damage. “…and if you ask me, it looks a lot like a war hammer but one that nature made instead of some strong-armed midget.”

Azmere gently accepted the weapon and slipped his hand through the sling then allowed his fingers to close around the shaft. Ercere had even shaved the width down so it had a gradual cone towards the bottom which made the grip so much more natural for Azmere to hold. Eyes afire, he looked up to the smith, his boss and teacher. “I don’t think I can pay for this, Ercere.”

“Sure ya can, lad. I only spent half a day on it and the materials were some scrap and things you already possessed. So the leather and steel, my time… five gold and we’ll call it even. Sound good?”

Azmere nearly tossed his whole purse at the man but paid him. He then took his bow and dropped it over his head and shoulder. “Thank you, Ercere.” Azmere stared at the older man for a few moments and then signed a second thank you. Ercere just waved the boy on and smacked him on the shoulder as he exited.
