Chapter 6 - 06 String of fate.
On a sunny day, as the crisp and warm spring wind brushed past Jin's skin, he watched the old building that seemed worn out, but stood imposingly in the corner of the street, made him ponder.
Ryan and Marina, basking in the nostalgic feeling, parted their lips in joy as they made their way toward the door. Ryan pushed the door inside, ringing a clattering bell to inform the person inside.
"Uncle Joseph, we are here!". Marina, who held Jin's hand, called out to the inside of the store, which looked empty with no soul in sight.
Jin's eyes filled with curiosity as he scanned the interior of the building. On each side of the walls, there were many cabinet fillets with various weapons lined in a row, perfectly organized so as not to confuse the customer.
On the front, there is a small counter and a chair behind it stood beside the hollowed wall, which is covered by only a black curtain that covered only half of it.
"Who is it?".
A raspy and hoarse voice echoed inside the small room, alerting Jin to turn to the sources. He tensed his mind only to see the curtain on the wall flutter open, revealing a short, bulky man emerging wearing a dirty brown leather apron filled with black dirt.
Seeing the man again, Jin was surprised to see another race besides humans: Dwarves. They were a race that usually stayed in the country north from Eira Kingdom, where civilization was more advanced by a leap because of their brilliant smithing techniques and inventions.
Jin watched the man closer and realized that he had solid muscles, even bulkier than his father. The man's face was covered half by an overgrown brown beard that seemed trimmed well around the edge, the same as his hair that was covered by a black bandana.
However, what surprised him was the man's height, which only reached his father's abdomen, proof that he was the race he had in mind.
"Keh, It's you, Lord Kid!".
