Nick immediately fell out of the fugue state he was in during the end of the forging and had to grab the anvil to steady himself. Pain wracked his body as the strain made itself apparent throughout it. Nick also felt like he had a hole in his stomach that needed to be filled as hunger gripped him. He had planned for this however and took some lembas bread from Greed before eating a couple of bites. Almost immediately his hunger waned as the bread worked it's magic but he could still feel a faint trace of hunger once his body fully digested it.-
[RING NAME: Twin fear(right)
Grade: UNCOMMON
Abilities: Autosizing , Formless , Devouring Counterattack , Fear transformation , Resonation
Description: A monstrous creation that was is half of a set made to serve as bringers of fear to their owners enemies. When it's owner is near the owner of this rings twin both rings will obtain a more potent form of their abilities. Much like a bogart this ring has no definite form and changes constantly.
System appraisal: A dreadful creation that only someone with an abnormal mind could imagine that was made by an up and coming ring smith.]
Righting himself Nick looked at the two rings constantly shifting appearances on his anvil and appraised them with the system. He was satisfied with these rings since they were also at the uncommon grade each and earned him 22 points each for creating them. "TEMPUS!" Nick said and he found out what time it was and sighed in relief that he hadn't missed lunch yet as it was only 10:47 in the morning. The time telling spell was a simple but very useful spell to know as it gave you an exact time regardless of where you are in the world.-
It was covered in the first year book of spells so Nick had long mastered it's use. He stored away the two rings before unlocking the door to his workshop and turning the furnace off. He left his workshop and locked the door again before heading out to go find the twins. Nick disliked putting off things for later which is why he didn't simply wait until lunch to give the two of them their rings. It wasn't particularly hard to find the two of them either if one were to simply ask the portraits all over the school for directions to them.-
When Nick finally caught up to them it came as little surprise to him that they were in the middle of pranking someone from Slytherin that Nick didn't know or cared to for that matter. "Leave the poor sod alone , I have something far more worth your time." he said as he walked up to them casually. "Oh? And what might that be?" one of the twins asked as they chose to ignore their previous target as they escaped. "Why your half of our deal of course." Nick said with a grin before removing the two rings from greed.-
The twins wasted no time at all snatching the rings out of Nick's hand and placing one on each of their right hands. One of the twins frowned as if the ring felt wrong before switch it to his left hand and smiled in satisfaction. 'That's interesting , i didn't think each of the ring were actually prefer to be on the side they were named by the system.' Nick thought in surprise after seeing this. "So they work just like your own ring right?" one of the twins asked curiously.-
"Yep , no idea why you wanted them since they require someone else to transform but it's your business so I don't care too much." Nick said with a shrug. "The fear thing is honestly just a bonus for us , we just liked they way your ring keeps shifting like that is all." the other twin said with a grin. Nick stiffened when he heard this as he had assumed that this entire time they wanted the fear transformation ability of Greed but in fact they just wanted the formless ability it had. 'Color me surprised to learn that they weren't just planning a cruel prank with the things.' he thought with a chuckle that the twins returned even without knowing what it was for.-
Nick hung out with the twins for an hour after that before going to the great hall for lunch. He stuffed his face which finally got rid of the hunger pestering him since earlier. Nick almost choked during the meal when he saw Draco walk into the hall without any hair at all and a death stare for literally everyone who looked at him. As if that wasn't bad enough Nick found out that the prick had to stay like that for three days before Snape could brew up a hair restorative potion. Nick wished he had a camera to save this moment for later but alas it was not to be.
