The blacksmith lights the forge.

The room begins to glow.

The blacksmith picks up a piece of steel.
Flames soften the steel.
The blacksmith pounds the steel to make it stronger.
Back into the fire.
Then thrust into water.
The blacksmith grinds a sharp edge on the blade.
Upon its completion,
The word is ready to begin its real journey.

The blacksmith works effortlessly,

A true craftsman.
