Chapter 282: Counsel

Reaching the cottage that we had come to associate with home, I burst from the carriage and made my way inside, creating space between Jahi, Leone and I.

The Vampire was still quiet, her exhaustion from sobbing for so long wearing at her as she made her way into the cottage as well, slipping into her room and likely curling into a ball.

As for Jahi, she stayed in the carriage with Nirinia and Adelina, heading out towards the nearest hospital to find a good healer.

Going outback, I turned towards my forge and picked up a hammer, lightning the forge itself and grabbing some metal ingots.

With nothing in mind to create, I simply began to swing my hammer and vent my frustrations on the ingot laying on the anvil, flattening it out before slowly shaping it into...

Into...

"DAMNIT!"

Throwing the blade to the side, I stared at the dagger I had made hatefully, panting as I collapsed onto the heated anvil.
