Vulcan meets Vulcan

The border of the SkyWing territory, a rather peaceful little patch of land in the ever-raging world. It was this little fact that the FireWing found disgusting. He knew for a fact that there never was true peace. He could nearly feel it, war was on the way. He couldn't exactly tell when or where but it would happen. And he knew that he would be firing his forge again, one way or another.

However, this was not the reason he was here, close to the land of the eternal storm. He was here because he had recieved word before that a SkyWing vulcan was asking for him. Personally be was surprised someone would actually be asking for him specifically. He didn't consider himself to be any special, he was good but then again, every vulcan was supposed to be good in his profession. It just seemed to him that there was something about him that made him standing out among the other vulcans, not that he would care about it too much.

Well now, I wonder how long it will take for whoever wants to see me to get here. I mean, I should have had the longer way and I am still the first here. Well, it doesn't matter really now, does it. I don't have anything important to do right now now will I in the near future. As long as my kin isn't fighting, no one will ask for my hammer to craft once again.

It was rather obvious that the SkyWing wouldn't come alone, after the history the two tribes have with (or rather against) each other. However, the smith couldn't help but chuckle at the remark the (obvious) guardian made. Of course, he overheard their small conversation as they weren't exactly subtle or quiet but it didn't quite matter much to him. What he picked up though was that the young vulcan actually knew quite a bit about him, at least when it came down to his craft.

"Humor me, from what I picked up so far, you hold me in high regards and wish to learn from me. It is rather obvious you found quite a bit of information about me and my profession. Let me make one thing clear: If you are learning from me, you will work under my rules. You will follow my advices to the latter. On top of that, I am going to inspect the quality of your forge and if I am not satisfied I will make changes to suit it our needs. If you aren't good with that, I might as well leave.

With that out of the way, he turned his head slightly to the Guardian and grinned.

"Tar-Wing, really? And that trash comment coming from an oversized storm cloud? Please, I've had worse."

Vulcan simply let out a short grunt as he heard the terms of the mentoring. He was more interested in seeing the forge, how it's set up and how it will work with the surroundings. His own was set inside a dormant volcano where he could use the temperature of the molten rock in order to utilize metal deemed useless by most since they couldn't bring up the consistent heat to melt those metals. Lifting his hammer and setting it on his shoulder across his back, he turned back to the Skywings.

"Hrmpf, as long as that oversized serpent won't stand in our way and just remain at the end of the room, I couldn't care less about it. I doubt she could utilize any of what I am going to teach you. Well then, I accept your conditions as you accepted mine. Let us be on the way then, I'm not here to waste any more breath."

Vulcan simply sighed at the Guardian's hostility. He wasn't used to others being so negative against him. Sure, he was used to getting ignored but not such negativity. Then again, he wasn't really minding it too much. He couldn't allow himself to give it too much thought. On top of that, it was a hate not directed towards him personally but against the entirety of the FireWings and because of his open world view, it hit him even less.

Deciding that the job he was about to take was more important than his own little thoughts about the matter, he held his hammer with both claws across his shoulders and dashed into the air, staying close to his new apprentice.

"Now then, I am not familiar with this place. You'll have to guide me. And you're little watchdog shouldn't worry about me, I can handle myself pretty well, even against lightning."
