“Right. Let’s get started then,” Oswald said as he ignited the newly built furnace. Meanwhile, I asked the fire spirits in his old forge to move into the new one. While new spirits would surely come once we began making use of the new furnace, I didn’t want to waste the relationship we had built up with these ones.

Blacksmiths liked to say that each craftsman had a different level of compatibility with each forge, but really that compatibility was with the spirits who lived in it. For example, although he couldn’t see or sense the fire spirits in his forge at all, Oswald recognized that the fire in the furnace had a mood of its own, and so always approached it with sincere respect. After twenty years of observing his behavior, the spirits in his forge had taken quite a liking to him, so they had a good relationship. Throwing all of that away just because he had built a new furnace felt like both a waste and a tragedy.

But with someone like me around who could explain the situation to them, the fire spirits nodded and moved into a piece of burning charcoal at my request, which we then carried into the new furnace. We then kept that new furnace burning merrily to help the spirits make themselves at home.

It would probably take about three days for them to settle into the new furnace. So of course, for that whole time, Oswald and I had to take turns keeping it burning. We used charcoal at first, but changed to a different kind of fuel partway through. Oswald told me it was a secret fuel used by the dwarves. It looked like a kind of rock to me, so my guess is it was some form of coke. There was a chance it was something that only existed in this world, but in the end it didn’t matter much to me. The details all seemed pointless when faced with the heat that fuel produced.

The forge wasn’t just hot. It was practically the definition of heat.

I had worked as a blacksmith for quite some time now, so I thought I was well accustomed to the temperatures that a forge would generate, but this was even hotter than I could handle. But the furnace bore the heat no problem, and the fire spirits were happy. Without batting an eye, Master Damned Dwarf kept working the bellows, filling the furnace with fresh oxygen.

Come on, it’s already so hot. For the first time in a while, I cursed him for being a damned dwarf from the bottom of my heart. It wasn’t fair that dwarves could handle heat like this.

But we weren’t done yet. Asking the fire spirits for help, we brought the temperature even higher. Without some sort of plan, it wouldn’t be strange for heat like this to kill me. After saying a word to Oswald, I stepped out of the forge and poured some water on my head, then asked the wind spirits to help keep me cool.
