A small house built into the side of a cliff with a little platform to view the ocean. Within this cabin the sound of dull hammering could be heard.

Daedalus who had begun to work on a better hammer was having a number of difficulties. The biggest being the quality of his initial hammer, then there was the quality of the bone he was currently forging into a hammer.

The bone was a femur from a creature called the hundred year mammoth. Daedalus had killed this mammoth when he was going through the plains. Luckily it"s body wouldn"t be going to waste with him.

His hammer on the other hand was made of a high quality steel, however that hardly compared to the mammoth. So for the past day Daedalus who hadn"t eaten or sleeper hammered away at the metal like femur, occasionally heating it in the process.

Finally by the end of the day Daedalus had completed his new hammer. He could only sigh as he leaned back against the wall behind him. It had been a tough two day long forging process.

Holding up the femur hammer Daedalus looked it over. The head itself had two sides, one was that of a normal hammer while the other was more reminiscent of a ball peen hammer. The handle was simply the end of the femur which he had prepared during the forging process to have leather added on later.

For the time being though Daedalus walked to the back of the cabin and opened a hidden panel. On the other side was a cosy and warm room, Daedalus had even managed to connect the chimney with the forge so that there were not any secondary chimneys.

In the center of the room against the back wall was the bed the blankets on the rather large bed where made from a large mouse Daedalus had killed. It had been rather weak but it"s fur felt nice, not that Daedalus was complaining about its strength.

So Daedalus quickly changed his clothes into a pair he was aloud to bring with him and layed in the bed. Within moments Daedalus had fallen asleep and he began to dream. As he dreamed he imagined what type of tools and weapons be woul make with the different types of bones.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning Daedalus woke up early and immediately got to work on his new tools and weapons. With the new hammer Daedalus" speed and efficiency increased by a lot. The first thing he made was an axe using a shoulder plate from the hundred years mammoth.


The handle on the other hand, used ironwood and the mammoth leather as it"s wrap. This made a robust, durable and easy to use axe. By the time he was satisfied with the new axe he could see that it was already past noon.

So Daedalus made himself some lunch before returning to the little workshop. As he got back Daedalus decided to make a new spear as the second thing he remade. Seeing as he had barely used the previous spear and it had dealt the first killing blow to the t.i.tan Viper, Daedalus decided to forge into one of the ribs of the t.i.tan Viper.
