Mining and Hard Work. (Mining thread & Blacksmithing creation) 7/4/17

The heat of the mines was never Asura's favorite part of his time here, but what he did like was the rare metals he found. Once he had finished his time in the sealed part of the Naraka Caves, he had opened up a new area where the tigers and he could find new metals. Spirium. The rare metal shimmered with a brilliant light that lit up as it was held, showing spiritual energy. Even greater. -- Asura found another rare stone, Ruby and Diamond.

All of which would be great for Vulcan's Forge.

Walking back with the materials he had harvested, Asura got back to the cavern over the lava, walked across the stone bridge and made it back to the forge. There he found the large tiger hammering away at one of his projects.

Since Asura had taken residence in the forge for his own work, he had finally earned himself a small bench of his own and some materials as well-- when Vulcan wasn't giving him a hard time or busting his chops over his work.

"I'm back," Asura called out to Vulcan- and threw his bag of materials onto his bench. Both the ones he bought and the ones harvested from the mines. The trading post Boss Byakko allowed was indeed a blessing that made transport of basic 'human needs' easier for Asura. "You will be happy to know that I got more Spirium. You're welcome," he replied to Vulcan with his back turn.

"When I give you proper thanks, I will do so to your ugly face," he replied coarsely, turning over one of his molten hot blades.

Asura rolled his eyes. "Clearly you never looked in the mirror," Asura countered, "But I guess then you wouldn't want this big shiny diamond I just pulled from the mine. Oh well. "

The tiger stopped and turned.

(Stating official harvest date for mining= Diamond (Farmable after 13th of July) , Ruby (farmable after 9th of july) , Spirium (9th of july) )

The tiger turned around to glance at the shining clear stone in Asura's hand, as large as one's palm-- for a human anyway. The tiger's eye glistened at the sight of it. He soon dropped what he was doing and walked over to Asura. The large tiger tried to grab the diamond but Asura didn't let him and pulled his hand away. "No way, you greedy furball! I farmed this myself. I'm gonna make something great with this, so you wait your turn!"

"Oh, like you can make anything worth while," the tiger grunted and grabbed his arm. "Come on, little kid. Give it!"

"I'm not a child! Let go."

Before long , the two were fighting as the large tiger almost lifted Asura off the ground by his huge physic and strength, Asura clung to his arm and pushed his foot in the tiger's face to pry himself off.

"LEt go you annoying little monkey!!" Vulcan snarled, tempted to bite the human.

"GIVE ME THE PRECIOUS!!" Asura shouted back.

As they bickered, another person soon emerged from the engrance, dawned in his violet robes as he saw the two fighting over the white rock. The tiger gave them a bleak look. "I'm so relieved to see your time is well spent..." Vidav replied as he saw the two bicker-- and stop at his voice echoed in the cave.

Asura soon got off of Vulcan and greeted the tiger-- while not letting go of the Diamond. "Oh, hi Vidav." he greeted. Vulcan also coughed to clear his throat and composed himself.

"I'm sure you two are mature enough to treat each other civil-like from this point on, hm?" the cat said and turned around, having come to check on them. "YOu two make your best work when you cooperate."

As the tiger left, Vulcan and Asura glared at one another crossly. "Alright, look. THis one I wanna keep-- the next one I get is all yours. Deal?" Asura asked.

"Deal," the tiger growled and they continued back to work to make their new weapons to promote the jungle's reputation of invaluable crafts.
