    Sweat dripped from the Rahu's brow onto the anvil as his hammer came down again and again on the steel alloy rod. The hammer was his heaviest as the rod was fresh and without shape, it must be beat flat. Into the burner steel went once it was too cool to keep shaping. From his past failed attempts Bleeds Well knew this was no time for a water break, the steel much be watched, not allowed to become too hot.

    Back from the fire, back on the anvil, Tink Tink Tink, he beats out a steady rhythm. Here in this workshop, the workshop he'd built, Bleeds Well had been honing his craft, making mistakes; working the forge as Grandfather had taught him.

    Raw determination carried him through the first stages of his work. The steel was shaped. Several hours of labor and what was once a simple steel rod was now an gracefully, curved blade. But the blade had no edge.

    The Rahu huffed and reduced the heat of the flame, reheating and allowing the knife to cool, tempering the steel. While he waited for excess heat to bleed well off of the knife, Bleeds Well finally saved his thirst. Wrapping his large Dalu hands around a water bottle, he noticed for the first time they were blistered and bloodied. So engrossed in his work he hadn't noticed the wear and tear on his own body.

    He checked the knife, cautiously holding his hand just off of the metal, testing its temperature. It was ready.

    For the better part of a day Bleeds Well worked. Hour after hour slipping by, the act of of shaping, honing, finishing, polishing... creating a perfect host, was almost meditative for him. It was a hunt for the perfect vessel. It had been trapped in the shape of a simple steel rod, but was slowly being brought out by his efforts. Physical exhaustion threatened to overtake the Enforcer as he bent the steel to his will.

    Handle flawless, blade fine, edge razor sharp, his work was done. He placed the blade carefully on his workbench. His greatest work yet, finally, a masterpiece. Gas shut off, fire sated, tools cleaned and put away, Bleeds Well lays down on his cot and falls into a deep restful sleep. Only the Lunes can witness the smile on his face.
