​So, you came to hear a story, right? If not, too bad-- I don't give refunds. 
Now I must warn you, this particular story may leave you feeling uncomfortable. It may scare you. It may go to a special place in your head where all your bad thoughts go. 
And STAY THERE.

​Long ago and far away, there was a city on the hill, and on the edge of this city, there was a blacksmith’s shop. It had lain empty and abandoned for as long as anyone but the eldest of elders could remember. ​
One day, a young man walking by saw it lit from within and heard the clang of metal on metal and so went to see. 
Inside, there stood a figure hammering away at steel, made only a shadow outline by the glow of the forge.
