Anput PoV
After quite the eventful, fulfilling night I decided that an early start was in order so that I could make the most of these days that we had remaining.
So many Fiends had been killed and so many of them were comprised of many incredible and wonderful parts that would make good weapons and armor, so I needed to get to work right now in order to fulfill the quota that I had set for myself.
A quota that was made 'worse' by Mom being adamant I owed her some gear as well thanks to her and her Death Jackals killing quite a few of the Fiends, and while I wanted to tell her off and focus on me, the idea of practice via mass production was appealing.
Even more so since they would want some tailored weapons that would test my skills properly and help me grow as a blacksmith; so while I was a tad bit irritated by Mom and her swift decision to order me to do something, I wasn't going to say no to it.
And if I only had a handful of days to utilize without any other commitments then I was for damn sure going to use them to their fullest, which was going to be fueled by many stamina potions, heaps of meat, maybe a little liquor here and there and of course, the occasional tussle in the sheets with any of my three lovers.
That last part was taken care of for now, and I had no need for any of the others at the moment so I was good to go, my forge rekindled while all of my tools waited for me on my anvil, each one whispering to me about the things we were about to create.
All sorts of ideas had been given to me, ranging from the simplest of broad bladed daggers to the more complex, custom scimitars that required a certain amount of hilt to blade ratio for their wielder to consider them perfect.
Then the various two handed weapons and even the odd piece of armor that had been requested, be it light or heavy armor of some kind like a helmet, cuirass or even a bodice that someone wanted...
All of it was going to test my skills in one way or another, so to start I organized the various materials I had on hand and picked up the long list of items that I needed to make, starting with a simple dagger and getting my muscles warmed up for something like this.
There were three large piles of bones and a fourth smaller one off to the side, the abundance of Tza, Ka, and Nua Fiends compared to Sla Fiends giving me three main groups to work with that made sense, and a final group that definitely needed more experimenting.
Each had a clear advantage; Ka were excellent for anything physical and provided an abundance of lethality to weapons, Nua were heavy and durable while Tza were extremely conductive for mana, which left Sla in a rather curious, unknown spot for me.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Logic stated they were adept at something, and a facet of their value to me was for Kat's Lust Mana, but otherwise I had no idea which would mean I needed to experiment, however I had other things to do right now like taking a horn that was as long as my arm and turning it into an ingot that would be forged into many blades.

I... pretended to be asleep for a little bit, but they either knew I was awake or simply didn't care as they went at it rather aggressively right beside me, Kat staying sort of quiet while Jahi hammered her hard from above, the two entangled in a sweaty embrace as they made the most of their morning.
Of course I ended up getting pulled into it eventually, the gasps getting me worked up enough to take a peek only to have Jahi grin at me as she ordered me to join them, relinquishing her spot on Kat and giving the Dogkin to me once again.
After taking her for a ride three times I got up and decided that I needed to do something else besides what they were doing, so I baked the stench off of me and got dressed, stepping out into the city and leaving them alone for now as I returned to one of the cauldrons.
The herbs we had were still needed, but instead of being needed for the soldiers they were needed for the civilians that had suffered beneath the Fingers, so I began to concoct many a potion for them as I brought my mind back into a calm, collected space.
I needed to be clear minded for now as I went over the success of the Moon Magic I had used against that Fiend, and how it could be further improved; it was a unique weapon in my arsenal that had a lot of uses alongside my Blood Magic, so finding a way to get better at using it was paramount right now.
That and my True Vampire Form that boosted my powers even more; those things were at the forefront right now for what I needed to do, and I had an idea to start, one that was pretty simple and something I was going to be doing anyways.
Just... practicing the different School of Magic I had been blessed with as much as I can in as many ways that I can, since it had its clear advantages and disadvantages over the magic I was intimately familiar with now.
This magic was unique and needed to be understood in how I could apply it, so my plan was to figure out what it was capable of doing in bursts and using them individually before merging them all together.
To start I wanted to actually pair it up with my other lacking front at the moment, and that was melee combat; Moon Magic disrupted the senses, so it could prove deadly in close quarters combat where people needed fractions of a second to react in order to live, and with my Estoc offering me a range of attacks to utilize, well...
That was a good place to start, especially since it seemed we weren't getting into any long ranged, guaranteed cover fights anytime soon where I could just hunker down and sling spells without any worry of being dragged into the fray directly.
If I could add this to my abilities and hone my fighting skills via trickery and sense depravation or redirection in close quarters combat I could offer something new and invaluable to my lovers in any battles we found ourselves in, and that was important to more than just me.
