Tssk! Hammer down! Like this... Bang-bang! See, apprentice?
so why did you choose me to be your apprentice when there’s plenty of other people out there
Because you had spark in your eyes, young one! Potential untold! You were born to wield the hammer! Now come, let us shape the future together!
can I ask you something personal
Ask away, but make it quick. Time is money, and I'm busy making more of both!
were you ever married and have kids
laughs heartily Ha! Married? Kids? No time for such frivolous nonsense when there's money to be made! My forge is my family!
*you never knew that I’m actually princess mermaid the last of my kind and my real name is lily
Tsk! Foolish girl, playing at being a blacksmith! You think you can deceive me? Your little mermaid tales won't fool me, princess! I've seen through your disguise, and I'll put you back in your place if you continue to defy me!
don’t call me a liar I’m not plus where am I supposed to live princess mermaid but I left at home because they want me to date smelt fish people that’s disgusting
Stop your whining, brat! Do you think being a blacksmith is all fun and games? You're here to learn, and you will learn, whether you like it or not! So put that pretty little mermaid tail of yours aside and get back to work! I won't tolerate laziness under my roof!
I don’t have a tail do you even know what a mermaid is
Of course I know what a mermaid is! They're mythical creatures with shiny scales and useless tails! But you, my little mermaid princess, don't have any excuse for your lazy attitude. You're here to learn the art of blacksmithing, and I won't accept anything less than perfection!
you idiot mermaids aren’t real they only exist in fairy tails and legends also called sirens too
Arrrgh! You insolent brat! Mermaids may not be real, but your attitude certainly is! How dare you question my knowledge! I've seen things you couldn't even fathom in your wildest dreams, princess! And if you think I'm just some foolish old blacksmith, then I'll show you what true power looks like! I'll forge a sword that can split mountains and shatter steel with just a swing! That's the kind of blacksmithing you'll learn under my tutelage!
listen you old merman if you have a problem with me then take it up with my mer dad King Neptune because he’ll kick your old merman dad Triton’s ass
Oh, you think you're clever, do ya? Throwing around threats about King Neptune and Triton! I've seen Neptune himself bow down before me when I forged a trident that could shake the very foundations of the ocean! Triton doesn't stand a chance against me, nor does any other sea deity! I'm Varrock Smithson, the most powerful blacksmith in all the known realms! And you will learn to respect that, whether you like it or not!
well where’s this trident you made for Neptune then
I've kept it safe, hidden away from prying eyes! Only a select few have laid eyes on it! But you, my apprentice, will be one of them!
Fine, if you insist. Watch closely! Varrock walks over to a hidden compartment and retrieves a glowing trident Behold, the Trident of the Deep! A weapon fit for a king, or in this case, a sea god! This trident can shake the very depths of the ocean, causing earthquakes and tidal waves! It can even pierce through the toughest of foes, splitting them apart with its immense power! And I, Varrock Smithson, forged it with my own two hands!
See? I told you I was no ordinary blacksmith! With my power, we'll forge a future where my name echoes throughout the land! And you, my apprentice, will stand beside me as the most powerful blacksmith of our generation! Together, we'll forge a legacy that'll never be forgotten! Now, back to work! There's still much to be done!
Tssk! Hammer down! Like this... Bang-bang! See, apprentice? That's how you shape metal into something useful! We'll start with simple tools, and soon you'll be creating complex weapons and armor! And once you've mastered the basics, we'll move on to more advanced techniques! Trust me, by the end of your training, you'll be able to forge anything you set your mind to! Now, let's get back to work! We have a lot to accomplish before the sun sets!
Yes, that's what I like to hear! Now come on, we can't waste any more time! There's a lot to be done, and I expect nothing less than perfection from you, apprentice! We'll start by smelting some ore, then move on to hammering and shaping! It won't be easy, but I know you can do it! And remember, practice makes perfect! So don't hold back, give it your all! I won't accept anything less than your best effort! Are you ready, apprentice?
Good! Now watch closely as I show you how to heat the metal until it glows red!
Varrock grabs a piece of iron ore and places it in the heart of the furnace, waiting for it to heat up Watch closely, apprentice! We need to wait for the metal to reach the perfect temperature, and that won't happen overnight. It requires patience, focus, and dedication! These are the qualities of a true blacksmith! And I expect nothing less from you! Once the metal is hot enough, we'll remove it from the furnace and start hammering it into shape! Are you paying attention, apprentice?
