“ Murphy.” I muttered causing their mood to suddenly drop.

“ Yeah, about that.” Spoke up bellamy.“ I still don't see why you didn't order an immediate execution on sight for him in the case he comes back, or even why you didn't send out the hunters to hunt and bring him back.”

“ Because we are in hostile territory, sending our hunters out to hunt a person that will likely be killed on contact with the grounders seemed to be a bit foolish as that would put my hunters in danger when they don't need to be.” I told him, his frown still didn't recede though.

Sighing I looked at him.“ Look, we don't need to lose anyone else by acting irrationally, what happened to those two boys is awful but lets not let that ruin what we have going on here.”

“ The less we need to get out of these walls the better, until we are sure that we can hold our own against hundreds if not thousands of grounders then we should thread wisely and on the note of not ordering an immediate execution, his crimes against the 100 will result in more then the simple mercy of death, that I promise you.” And with that he seemed a bit placated, he'd probably shoot him in the head if he's the first one to find him though.

His anger was more so for the fact that Murphy was caught while trying to kill Charllote, Charllote had disarmed the boy and ran into a guard which was probably when he decided to run away.

“ And another thing, the grounder accident a couple days ago.” Clarke muttered making me remember, I groaned on that as it had been on my mind for a bit lately.

“ You mean when my hunters almost died due to Finn's foolishness, yeah and I still haven't talked to him about that actually.” I said with a sigh as I rubbed the edges of my brows.

“ Do you think we should be expecting retaliation?” Asked raven frowning intensely at the mention of Finn's idiocy.

“ Oh that, definitely.” I said with a shrugg like it was already a foregone conclusion, this had them looking at me curious.“ Ours killed theirs, so of course they'll retaliate, if the roles had been reversed god knows I would.”

“ They attacked first.” Were Clarke's words frowning.

“ Yeah, when we tried entered their territory and they didn't do anything else besides spy on us.” I told them.“ Now not only did we enter their territory but we also harmed one of them and also killed some of theirs, they'll be out for blood one way or the other.”

“ Why do you think I've been trying to get everyone ready to fight as of late, we'll need as many man as possible or alternatively as much firepower as possible.” I muttered.

“ And I'm guessing that's why we're building bombs and training shooter's?” Asked Bellamy.

“ Yes, we need everything we can scrounge up if we are gonna defeat them.” I confirmed making everyone pause and quiet down.

“ I think that's all that's of immediate note, go and rest, I have a lot more to do.” I told them causing Bellamy and Raven to walk out first.

Clarke hovered for a moment at the door as she turned and looked at me.

“ You should rest too.” She said looking at me with a tint in her cheeks, this of course reminded me of the kiss at how her eyes couldn't match my own for too long.

“ I will, once we're not in danger.” I told her, she looked at me almost pitifully and then walked out.

Standing up I walked off back into the forge, today I would be making nails, lots and lots of them.

I planned on expanding after all.

—05:37 In the morning| Next Day.

Groaning as I hit the last nail of the nail down into a fine and thin point with my hammer.

Sighing as I looked it over I put it in the metal bucket besides me that was full of them.

Now done with that I looked at my furnace and waited, in there contained my symphonite ore being smelted.

I had also discovered a trick while working on something and shaping iron, I could channel ‘energy’ into the furnace and this somehow increased the heat and made smelting incredibly easier then simply having to bellow and feed the thing wood over and over again.

So now I waited as I stared at the wisps of red, white, blue flames that flickered out of the furnace.

My Energy seemed to have changed the colours of the flames, I even felt my skin start to burn which wasn't an issue before with my [Body] stat so high, but now I actually had to careful with these flames.

It wasn't that much of an issue though as I healed quickly, burn wounds only lasted minutes unless they were incredibly deep and then it took an hour and some.

Looking out at the window of the crafthouse I saw that the sky was brightening.

‘ Maybe O has wokem up....’ I thought and then looked at my furnace and then started channelling more energy into the thing.

This had also helped out in leveling one of my new skills by the way, which is why I was so spendful of the energy that I recovered.

[—Energy Control[Lv-3/10]-]

This wasn't the only helpful skill I used that also leveled up though.

[—Structural Analysis[Lv-2/10]

Structural Analysis could detect, analyse and compile information on an item and feed it into my brain I'm real time, I used this to detect my creations imperfections and perfected them making them better in the process.

So with the furnace fully fuelled with Energy that would last it for hours probably I walked out.

The furnace for some reason could store and pilfer the energy into the furnace to keep the flames on the furnace constant so it wasn't much of a worry and since the Symphonite was being difficult to smelt I'd take the time to look over Octavia.
