AN( if anyone from lightnovelcave wants, please host my story! I enjoy alot of your content and wish to spread my story there as well! Happy reading!)
Even though Rust had said that he could do it, he was totally guessing on what he had to do and thus focused in and put all of his soul into this. As it felt like he was poised on a knifes edge, he felt like he needed to pray and so, got on one knee and audibly spoke out,"Goddess, O' lady of love, mercy, and the ultimate truth, I come to you to today a humble Dwarf. I have seen the creature you have sent me, and I have see through the veil and discovered your challenge. I accept your quest of love, and ask for your blessing on this day of great meaning!"
Suddenly, Rust started to glow a resplendent golden. Everyone viewed his glow for 3 seconds before it stopped and he stood up, his eyes now carrying a more passionate fire within them!
Rust said,"Alright! Now let's get to work!"
The dwarves, feeling as if heaven was on their side, all roared out in cheers and then quickly started to set up a forge triage. Rust grabbed 2 chunks of new golden hot metal and placed them in the furnace to liquefy a bit, then, he grabbed the two spears.
Rust then shaped them back down into a single piece of iron, slowly melding them together. He called out,"Fire 8 sticks!" To which 8 identical slim iron chunks were thrown into the fire. Rust hammered away with a smile that seemed insane! He screamed out,"Ragh! THIS IS IT! THIS IS WHAT GETS MY BLOOD PUMPING! FORGING IS MY SUPERPOWER! ITS MY TALENT! ITS MY BLOOD! FORGING IS ME!"
Rust felt like he was going crazy from happiness as he smashed downwards with precision and force to meld a new piece of the puzzle!
Rust threw his heavy duty leather gloves on and reached in and grabbed one the buckets of now molten iron! Rust yelled out,"First mold!" as to side Perillees was lifting one back leg out of the wierd slime mold.
As this continued Rust noticed a faint light that flickered in his mind every once in a while. As he slowly poured his molten iron into the cast mold, it went away, so he stopped thinking about it.
After a grueling 30 minutes of pouring both molds, Rust got back to hammering out more pieces!
His arms didn't seem to have an end to them! His strike was flawless everytime! He strength was even and tempered! His breathing was coordinated and perfect! At this moment, as he hammered and hammered, Rust felt that slowly flickering light solidify within his mind.
As he continued to push his body, the light continued to grow. As Rust finished forging the last piece of the puzzle, he finally also touched the light within his mind, finishing his masterpiece, while also breaking through.

Achilles had seen this strange creature seemingly go insane as it started to scream out to its brethren as it played with that hot earth. Achilles didn't know why but he seemed to recognize that this was a earthly resource of some kind?
As he watched Rust and his companions continue to forge with fire and the earth resource, he realized the resource is what made the sharp stone!
Achilles was finally understanding! Then as he watched Rust swing his hammer down for the very last time, Rust started to glow Orange! He glowed a bright and dark orange! It was mystifying to the eyes!
However this phenomenon only lasted moments before it stopped. Rust however, did seem to have come to a new realm of power because Achilles now felt threatened by him.
That was odd..
Rust was very tired it seemed and went to go find his wife, leaving the other doctor dwarves to finish what he started. To their credit, they did seem to want to try this challenge as well. This creature had helped them too!
The trench dwarves were loners by nature, but they adamantly refused to owe a debt to someone, and would often go out of their way to repay that debt. Achilles saved not only their chief, but quite possibly all the rest of them too.
They strapped down his back legs and then they gently guided Perillees out of them room. Perillees would he find out later why they did this.
After about 5 minutes of waiting, the doctors were done inspecting the area, and they were confident in the mold! Achilles was given way too much alcohol and then given a piece of leather to bite down on.
He was confused, until the bones and meat of legs were set back on fire as the hot metal attempted to fuse with him!
He screamed out! And bit down on the leather as hard as he could! The metal was slow and took ages as it meticulously bonded with his skin, muscle, and bone!
Achilles screamed out but no one could care right now and the Dwarf "doctors" attached any loose muscle or reapplied hot metal to areas it hadn't bonded well in.
After a grueling 2 hour procedure of what felt like torture, the surgery that took place in ancient times had come to a complete close!
Achilles promptly passed out after hearing the good news! Glad that something good did come out of this afterall!
Perillees came in a few minutes after he had passed out and was impressed with what he saw! His son looked healed! His legs looked normal again and he even kicked them every now and then when he was dreaming!
He sat down next to his son as a Dwarf came over with a few blankets. He nodded in appreciation and then wrapped himself and his son in the blankets as he too started to drift to sleep...
