Phantom was shocked to hear about Alana, thinking of the baby and not knowing of the adult. "Why didn't you call me!?"
She ran past them and burst through the doors, almost stumbling in. She saw Kara on the ground, still plump as a watermelon, holding a young woman.
Kara looked up at her mother and smiled. "Hey mom. Meet your grand daughter."
Phantom stumbled forward and looked Alana over. "What the hell is going on here? We don't need to have this happen again. Remember the last time this happened Kara? How did she get here?"
Alana looked up at Phantom and almost screamed in joy, forgetting about her problems for a moment she jumped up and hugged Phantom Tightly. "GRANDMA!!!"

Miri studied the group with interest, curious as to the amount of emotions swirling around them. it was odd, she could only imagine feeling so much for her father... what was it like to care for so many others? with a shrug she let the thought go, she had her father and needed nothing else. clearing her throat delicately she pushed her silky blonde hair back, violet eyes curt as she promted softly. " a Word, Gregory?"

When Gregory hesitated, torn between staying with his mother and following Miri, Mim nudged him in her direction. "Go on, Gory-bear. I'm fine. 'Sides, I've got buisness with Phantom."
"Fine, fine. Just stop calling me that."
"What? Gory-bear?" She grinned while Gregory rolled his eyes. "Hey, Phantom. Finish up, I'll be waiting downstairs." Slinging her ruined parasol over her shoulder, she descended the steps to the basement.
Sighing, Gregory walked to Miri. "Sorry about that," he blushed. "Um...what do you want talk about?"

Phantom looked Alana over and sighed. "How did you get here child? And why did you?"
Alana looked at the doors where Greg walked out of and then to the ground. "The wolf that ripped Mim's heart out also killed my father the same day. It made everyone's life so... Suicidle. So I came back to save him. Ended up being bonded to Fury. So I'm screwed, but at least I saved my father."
Kara pretty much rolled for a moment then got up off the floor. "And the reason she hasn't gone back is because she has to find out why Fury bonded to her."
"Arlight. We will figure this out later. I have to go help Mim." She kissed Kara on the cheek and hugged Alana. "I'll talk to you soon." She left them and walked down the stairs, turning on lights that Mim missed. She made it to the bottom and started a fire quickly, using her hand instead of matches. "Alright, what do you want done to it?"

Pulling the blade from its sheath, she inspected both blade and parasol. "Well, there's the crack in the sheath, but I'd like it if the blade was sharper. Its looking alittle dull." Not that Mim intended to use it after tonight. Regardless, she still wanted it to look its finest. "I mostly wanna watch you work, really."

Phantom smiled and grabbed the blade from her, knowing she wouldn't mind. "Some hot wax should fix it right up, and maybe I can make it a different color to make it look more interesting. And the blade can be sharpened by rock. It will also give it a nice shine and a sharp blade."
Phantom first went over to the many stones that were in a row. She picked up the first in the many and it was the roughest. She started at the hilt to the tip, making sparks fly.
"Is the different color thing okay with you? Wanted to make sure before I made the right wax"

"Nah, go right ahead. Damn things been the same color for too long. Might as well make the old girl feel sexy and new." Watching Phantom work was about as satisfying as she'd anticipated. Yes, she'd sharpened that blade numerous times, same method, but there was something about how Phantom did it that just...flowed. Must've been that difference between a human and a metal mage.
"You know, Phantom. I think I'll start a project of my own. Gimme a sec, I'll be back." Taking the steps two-at-time Mim found her old room easily enough. Throwing open the trunk at the base of her bed, she waved away the dust. "Jeez..." Bingo. Smiling, Mim pulled out a fitted leather jacket she'd worn several times. Grabbing a few things, she took the jacket and her instruments back down to Phantom, hoping she hadn't gotten too far ahead without her.
"What color ya thinkin' about?"

"I was thinking a nice bright red. Would be very different." She put down the first rock and picked up the other, only to put it back down and whistle.
Hera came flying down through an opening that Phantom herself made for the dragons when she needed them so they wouldn't have to fly through the castle just in case something bad happened. Hera was followed by Vein, they never left each other so it was to be expected.
Phantom smiled at the two and gave Hera the sword. "Take this over to the wall by the shaft. I have more ideas for this then just a sharpening."
Hera and Vein did as they were told and hung it up while Phantom grabbed some things. "Alright Mim, you want to see me work, well I'm going to make that sword perfectly balenced and put interesting artwork in the blade. It will be my gift to you for being a friend and a sister."
She took all her things to a big vent that was starting to spew hot air. Phantom's eyes started to move like fire and her tattoos started to glow a deep blue. The fire inside the vent started to get warmer and it soon got hot enough to do things with it.
She took apart Mim's sword so she wouldn't ruin the hilt of the sword in the heat. She then, with no cloves or metal things to hold the blade, stuck the thing into the fire and waited for it glow. She then pulled it out, grabbed a tool, and started to hit it really hard. If you looked at the tool, it had swirls and other things on it to make a design in the blade.

Mim watched, torn between awe and absolute terror. A phobia she'd always had, ever since the death of Alexander, had been of fire. However, she'd play it off like she always did. That didn't mean that her arm didn't throb with the heat of phantom flames. Rubbing her arm, she asked, "How long does that take?"

Phantom looked over her shoulder and smiled, her fangs showing slightly. "Not much longer. I have to do the other side, and then after that there is no more flame usage."
Phantom turned back to her work and started the other side, finishing that up quickly. She dipped the blade into a batch of warm water, not cold because the blade would break from such a change, and let it cool off before she took it over to the grinder to make it shine again.
That took some time but that also didn't take long and she put the hilt back on it then handed to Mim. "You need to tell me where you want it to balence the most before I do anything else to it"

"Phantom..." Mim brushed her fingers along the blade, over the intricate design she'd given it. "She's never looked this good." Grinning, Mim indicated just below the hilt. "I want the balance point here. It makes handling it easier." Returning the blade to Phantom, Mim picked up the leather jacket and her sewing kit and started her own project.

Phantom nodded and went back to her own corner. She weighted it till it was stable on her fingertip where Mim wanted it to be and then started to shine it more. She took off the hilt one last time and made it shine to a point that if it was in any kind off light it would shine.
She put it back together and sharpened it again then put it to the side. She poured a wax into a bucket and then made sure the cover of the sword was sitting just right. She poured the liquid into the crack and it hardened quickly. She then sanded it and stuffed something down the hole to make sure nothing poured through. She then put the sword in its case and handed it to Mim.

With a final stitch, Mim had finished her jacket. A single red cross adorned each shoulder, Idolian was stitched across the back shoulder-to-shoulder, the Rosenthal crest, and a harp patched were stitched into the leather. Each a representation of something meaningful to her in her life. There was nothing to represent Alexander though, her left arm reminder enough. Taking the offered sword, she examined the handiwork, then hugged Phantom to her, nearling choking her. "This is perfect, Phantom! I'm almost afriad to use it now. I might ruin it..."

Phantom hugged Mim back and held her close. "It won't break at all. The fire I used is a magic fire to a point where it changed the metal into something so strong it won't break. Don't worry about it." Phantom couldn't help but start crying. "I will always do anything for you."

"I know, Phantom. I'd do anything for you too." Leading her to a bench, she sat Phantom down and rubbed her back. "You okay? I guess I didn't really think about what would happen if I brought you down here...it about V?"
