Over the eastern plains a storm is born
herald of the shadowed morning
at the beginning of the darkest days
Behind these walls we wait and fear
that voice out of time
summoning the dead of distant wars
to march once more beneath an iron forged sky
further from a home they forgot long ago
on a path winding through horror
seeking glory or a second death
and longing only to be washed clean
in baptism by the falling rain

Been binge watching Forged in Fire ever since my friend showed it to me. I would love to learn how to blacksmith. Gotta start saving for the equipment!

Honestly, I don’t know, why but I feel like you would make a great blacksmith. I just, like, feel it from reading your writing, lol! 😀 Another great one, btw ❤

We have a forge here at the house and all the equipment. It’s very expensive, even getting used stuff, but a satisfying craft. I love that show too!

Woah cool! Could I ask what kind of forge you have? I was looking around online at different types. I definitely don’t live in a place yet where setting anything up would work out. My landlord probably wouldn’t be too happy about it.

I have a coal forge. Not preferred but better than nothing, right?!

Thats sweet, some of the coolest challenges on FIF are when they have them use coal forges. It looks intimidating!

Well, like all these timed shows, they are working against the clock and themselves. So there’s finesse in coal forging… but also, EVERYTHING comes into play. Even the coal itself!
