Porter sat at her desk and kicked her feet up on her desk. Boots making a large clunk as the crashed. Grabbing a mechanical bird and writing a note for Alec to come down. She leaned back with a grin, looking at the tablet keeping track of all there orders. "Thanks to Alec we are all caught up." Smiling as she leaned further back in her seat.

"Now what does she want?" he questioned out loud before jumping down from the roof of the Ares cabin and heading towards the forge. At this point it didn't surprise anyone below to see Alec jumping down because he spent most of his time either on the roof, in a tree somewhere, at the forge, or at the training grounds. So if there was ever a time where Alec needed to be found, he's basically be fairly easy to reach.
When you thought about it it was actually kind of funny how Alec was known better by the kids of Vulcan and Hephaestus than his own siblings. Most Ares kids hung around the armory or training grounds and only knew how to use weapons skillfully. For whatever reason while Alec was like them in the sense that he was skilled in fighting and enjoyed training, he also seemed to be interested in the craftsmanship of weapons and was very good at making them. He found forging to be more relaxing than training most of the time, so naturally he ended up getting to know the Vulcan and Hephaestus kids a little better. He was still a d*ck to them, but they were all more used to it then his half siblings and most of them got over it since Alec was a big help.
Once arriving at the forge Alec walked straight in and up to Porter. Despite them being very different in personalities Porter just wouldn't leave Alec alone and so they managed to form a weird friendship. "Your bird found me and I got your note. So what is there a problem? Let me guess, my half siblings went too hard in training again and broke all the new swords? Or did someone forget to repair the busted up shields?"

Porter smiles and dropped her feet to the floor. "Yes! Well no to the others but glad the bird found you!" She jumped over the desk and sat on the edge. "Have a seat, come in, grab a NOS from the fridge." She smiled as she looked to her friend. It was an odd relationship but it was her being annoying and him giving in. "Anyways, you are an honorary child of the forge." She grabbed a key and handed it to him. "Remember awhile back when we were trying to fuse all the metals. Well we made it, care to see it before anyone else sees?"

While he knew Porter was brown to making her own inventions he didn't know that the bird was a recent thing that had yet to be tested. Looking back at the mechanical that had followed Alec all the way back to the forge by flying Alec said, "I will admit the mechanical bird was crafted well. I hope it's for more than just delivering notes though, because the outside world has mailmen for that." He spoke in a straightforward manner as usual, but his mood suddenly shifted when Porter spoke of the real reason he was summoned.
Immediately he turned to look back at Porter, his pupils wide. It was clear that even he was starting to feel excited now. "You're kidding... No, you wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. Have you tested it out yet? Are you sure it's stable? I hope the metas at least blended smoothly," Alec rarely rambled but right now he just seemed to be going on and on about concerns towards the weapon. This project resulted in a lot of trial and error, and after about the 40th time trying to get the metals to work Alec was about to give in. But Porter convinced him that in time it would work. They just had to keep at it.
Realizing that he was speaking in a sort of urgency that he never speaks in Alec quieted down. He looked away from Porter for a second, feeling a little embarrassed about getting so enthusiastic over a weapon, but he knew that she at least understood his feelings. Porter loved working in the forge equally as much so it wasn't as embarrassing to get all nerdy about weapons and stuff around her as it would be around others. "You know what, I'll see the weapon first then ask questions," Alec said as a way of accepting Porter's offer to be the first one to see it.

Porter chuckled and pressed a button on her desk. "So out of the tries we finally got it. Now we couldn't get it just right, but one night as I passed out it came to me..." She smiled as a mechanical arm brought forth a sheath. "Anyways in the dream I saw this old Anvil, so I woke up and did research, the Anvil I saw was called the Anvil of the Abyss. Found out where it was and had it brought in." She began to pull out a sword. Showing it to Alec, the blade shiny and clean. "Using the magical anvil we have made the first blade."

Sounds more like you were given a sign," Alec said, thinking that it all would have been too coincidental if Porter's dream was really just a simple dream. "Wish I knew about the anvil sooner.I would have gone on the quest to get it. Anything to get me out of this camp for a few days," he said with a sigh as he watched a sheath be brought forward.
At the sight of the sheath Alec went silent. He watched carefully as Porter pulled the sword from it and held it up. The shape of it wasn't that different from any normal sword used for training, but the color of the metal blade was odd, a sign that it wasn't any typical metal used at camp. Honestly Alec was impressed that the metals seemed to have blended smoothly now. Looking at the blade you could tell that is was a mixture of various magical metals, instead it looked as if a brand new type of metal had been found and used. "You never cease to amaze Porter. The sword looks great. So now the real question is, does it work?" Alec said with a sly grin. It was obvious that he wanted to test it out badly. Just imagining how smoothly the sword could possibly cut, or how resistant to breakage it might be was enough to get the adrenaline inside of him stirred up.

Porter's smile grew at his question. "The Anvil was deep in our storage, a few large spiders in the way, no issue." Crossing her legs and tapping her tow a little. "Well now that is the question though. Why would I ask for a skilled swordsman if I had a sword that hadn't be tested?..." She gave a teasing look. "You know... I probably figured since that swordsman helped us catch up on our orders and gave us surplus, it would be a treat for them to try it out first though." She smiled and pointed to a dummy. "Take a few swings. We want to make sure it all works."

† Son of Ares: God Of War † •X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X• "So there wasn't a big quest to get the anvil? Boring," Alec said, brushing off that topic in an instant. At this point he was far too fascinated in the sword to talk about anything other the object itself. Then of course Porter couldn't resist teasing Alec since in his moment of excitement he seemed to ask a series of stupid questions. "Alright, alright. I see your point. So what are we waiting for then?" he asked with a small grin appearing on his face. It was a rare sight to see Alec smile, smirk, or even grin, and when he did he seemed like almost a different person. The cold wall he built up would crack and you could see a glimpse of a nicer person underneath all the angst.
In an flash Alec snatched the sword out of Porter's hand and started slow swinging it around and switching it from his right hand, to his left, and back again. "It does feel slightly heavier than the other swords, but with practice someone could still one hand it," Alec stated before pointing the sword directly at the dummy Porter pointed out. "Now let's see what it's like in action."
Alec's grin grew a bit bigger as the adrenaline pumped through his veins during his charge. He ran straight at the target and stabbed right through it's chest as if he was stabbing a pillow. "The thrust on it is smooth. Very smooth." He then ripped the sword out from the dummy and swiped at its neck from right to left. With one slash the head of the dummy toppled to the ground and rolled forward until it bumped into Alec's shoe. "The slashing is equally as smooth. I'd say this is one deadly weapon. Now the question is how much damage can the sword take?" As Alec asked this his eyes looked over at Porter. You could tell an idea was forming in his head, but he was calculating how to form it into words. "Looks like I need to battle with this blade, but to do that I'd need a challenger. So how about it Porter? Wanna spare for the sake of pushing this sword's limit?"

Porter laughed a little. "No big quest. Challenge to bring the Anvil up though." She moved a curtain to show a massive, ten foot tall, Anvil. "It doesn't break. I've smashed it everything and it doesn't dull either." Seeing him smile a little made her heart jump for joy however. She walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Tell you what... we have the little capture the flag game coming up. Use it then." She handed him the sheath and went back to her desk, looking at the Anvil. "Well... Alec... what will you name your new weapon?" She turned back to face him. Wanting to see a dumb found or paralyzed look on his face. "You helped us get caught up and over stock. Things that would have taken the whole year to do. Your hands helped speed it along."

He hated participating in camp games, although he would sometimes participate in the roman games since they were more rough. "Capture the flag is so lame. Everyone working together as if we all actually cared about one another. It's just a pain," Alec said with a roll of his eyes. "But I guess I'll do it since you won't fight me. However you also have to play the game or this sword will never be fully tested," he said flattly, returning to his usual cold and blunt self.
At the mention of naming the weapon Alec was caught a luttle off guard, but he didn't really express much. His eyes widdened slightly, and that was just about his entire physical reaction. After a moment's pause he looked down at the sword he held. He stared at it quietly for a while before saying, "I want to see how it fairs in battle first. I feel like I need to get to know this sword, understand it, before giving it a name."
Alec had to admit, the longer he held the sword the steanger the vibes from it were. It didn't feel bad, but kind of intense. He could tell that massive power was stored in this sword and it made him feel like only an important person should wield it. Someone like... a leader. Not some punk like him. Alec avoid responsibility like it was the plague, and so he found himself second guessing if he should keep the sword. Although, not many people knew about it.
Alec and Porter were the ones who wanted to experiment with metals so they mostly kept the making of the weapon a secret. A few other kids did eventually get recruited to help, but the group involved was small. Despite that he figured at least one of those kids would also want the sword. Perhaps one of the others was more worthy. "Are you sure the others are ok with me keeping this? I do have a magic weapin already afterall."

Porter's joyful expression turned to a hurt one. "I do care. I care for all of you. I put my heart and soul into the weapons I make. I do that knowing if it's the weapon that fails the deaths are on me." Wiping the corner of her eyes she turned the chair around. "I want you to have it. I want you to have it because you desire power or leadship the least." She looked to the Anvil. "And I know I have to play. I will be out there to play." Looking down to her hands as she felt so down. Part of her wanted to grab her hammer and just swing at him but another knew it would be dumb to do so. "If you don't want it I can keep it here. I've never forced you to do anything Alec." Getting up and closing the curtain, flopping back in her chair.

Yuugo Hegoshi Son of Odin -enters Hmm, so this is the forge interesting. Yuugo said as he began looking around, not really paying anyone any attention. Hmm these materials seem like they want me to forge something with them. Yuugo thought to himself.

† Son of Ares: God Of War † •X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X•X• Noticing Porter's pained look an unfamiliar wave of guilt hit Alec. He rarely felt bad about the things he did since he let everyone know he was the type to cause trouble anyway, but Porter was someone he actually didn't hate. It was strange feeling bad for hurting another. It had been a long time since that felling hit Alec and it wasn't one that he enjoyed in the slightest. Just another reason why it was best to keep his friend group small. It meant getting hurt less, and hurting others less.
"Look, that's not exactly what I meant. I know you are all happy and nice, like you're fresh out of some Disney movie, but not everyone here is like that. When I said 'wee' I meant the whole camp. Half of the kids here only care about getting stronger to impress their parents and sh*t. I wasn't trying to cause you so stop pouting already. It's grossing me out," Alec wasn't experienced with apologies much either so this was the best he could manage without hurting his pride. "And I guess I'll just keep the sword since you're so sure. But you're wrong if you think I don't want power. I still want to get strong. I'm just not obsessed with it like some people are. I just want to-" For a second there Alec almost let himself say "Be better", and that would have meant letting his guard down. He didn't want pity, or for people to see his self-doubt as a weakness. So he kept them hidden. "Never mind," he ended up saying instead with an agitated groan.
Just then, a new face walked into the forge. Alec didn't recognize him as a familiar face around the forge, but the boy seemed to take great interest in it. It was strange to see a new face show up with metals already prepared to forge with them. People usually weren't that prepared. "Hey you," Alec called to the new guy. "Are you sure you know what you're doing? I don't recall seeing you around here before."It wasn't that Alec was worried or particularly interested in what the guy was up to, he just found the whole situation rather odd.

Porter looked to Alec during his apology attempt. "I mean, you want to get better, but you aren't doing it for your old man." When Alec addressed someone she turned around and stood up from behind desk. "He isn't one of my workers." Getting around the front she folded her arms. "You aren't allowed to be working in here. Either need my permission or Chiron's permission." She looked to Alec. "You think he believes he can just start working in here?"
