The part wolf padded along, not making barely a sound as he ran through the underbrush. He was nearing the city that he was aiming for. The grand city of Trenobel was enticing to him always. He need to find some new supplies, and this was the only place that he could think to find it. He stood up on his hind legs, and strode into the city. The guards new him, so they would not think twice about letting the Anthro into the city. He paused at the blacksmiths stands like he always did. The art of crafting had always amused him, but he knew that he could never work steel into art like they did. With a shrug of his head, he continued on. Heading towards the market, he purchased some raw meat. He sat down at a table, and started eating it. It was nothing new to him, but he got some funny looks from the people passing by.

Camaxtli walked through the city of Trenobel. He was familiar with this place, the nation it was a part of being his homeland. Few things had changed, bringing back old memories as the smith walked down the streets. Scattered around the road was stands, some being run by traveling merchants, some by blacksmiths, tailors, skinners, and much, much more. Looking more closely at the blacksmiths he smiled knowingly. Many times he had been a young lad standing behind a cart yelling out what he was selling, trying to bring in a profit. Old and young, wise and inexperienced. Each blacksmith had different obvious traits. Smiling still, the smith continued his walk. The man was here to visit an old friend, a butcher. As he neared the old friend's shop, he noticed a canine humanoid looking being sitting nearby, eating raw meat. The person strangely reminded Camax of a pup, making the aged smith chuckle softly. Into the shop he walked, glancing at the Anthro one last time before entering. "Ahh, Necalli, my deer friend! How goes the business?" Camaxtli asked, smiling wide as he spoke. |

Luther noticed the man walk in. He had the build of a blacksmith. Toned arms, and thick leather made him even more noticeable to the anthro. He took another bite of his meat, his teeth tearing the raw steak apart easily. He watched the man walk up, noticing that he knew the butcher. With a grin, he polished off his meat, and tried to look down his nose to see if there was any bloody. Anybody watching him would think him an utter fool, but he didn't care. He wanted to look got for this blacksmith. Blacksmithing had always interested him, and he wanted to learn someday. He stood up, and brushed off his minimal clothing. When you were mostly fur, you didn't need much clothing. He walked over to the butcher, and calmly asked. 'Can I maybe have another fine raw steak please? If possible, not as much fat this time.' Looking at the blacksmith, he looked away quickly. He was semi-flustered. He was not sure why he could not speak. Probably because he partially looked up to the man, along with envying him for being able to craft the metals that are so pure. |

"Business is as well as can be expected. ─ Ah, yes, here you are. That'll be five gold. ─ There's more competition in the butcher business than there used to be. Lots of young folk have come into the field, and I'm just getting too old to keep up. Loyal customers keep me going, thankfully." Necalli slid some raw meat to Luther while keeping the conversation going with Camaxtli. It was obvious he was used to this business, because he simply glanced at what he had, and already found a steak with almost no fat. "Ahh, well, the one thing the youth lack is experience. Those who are closer to our age understand that, we can only hope that the youth of today will come to understand it as well." Camax smiled as he spoke to his friend, noticing Luther turning away. Confused, he turned to the being. "Uhh, hello there. I hope you don't take offense to my asking, but are you part wolf..? You don't look like a werewolf, though..." Camaxtli asked, studying the being a bit more before nodding at the different in appearance this one had compared to a werewolf. |

After listening to the two men talk for a bit, Luther finally realized he had been spoken to. He would have blushed if he didn't have fur covering his skin, but he said softly. 'It is actually interesting that you ask that. I am a half wolf, but you are the only one to realize that. Everybody else says that I am a werewolf stuck in this form.' Luther looked away, he was still shy around this man. This man, was everything that he wanted to be. He took a bite of his meat, and then decided it was time to find out. 'I can't help but to notice, but you seem like one of the blacksmiths that I see around town. Is that your trade? It is either a blacksmith or a bodyguard. Nobody else could be of your build that is not those two.' |

"Ahh, werewolves look different than you do, at least you and the one werewolf I have seen do not look alike. Yes, I am a smith, as was my father, and his father, and his father's father. My family has, to my knowledge, always dealt in the ways of the craftsmen. Why is it you're asking..?" Camaxtli wondered if perhaps this one was interested in the trade. He was an old man by now, and was not sure if he would last long enough to teach his children the ways of the smith. Maybe this being would wish to learn. It would take a while before the smith would trust his family's secrets to anyone, but already he felt like this canine would be a worthy apprentice. As it was, Luther resembled a pup, so innocent and carefree. That alone put him higher than most on the smith's trust. Perhaps his coming to see an old friend had led to his meeting a worthy apprentice. |

Luther glanced around. He was not expecting this man to talk to him so freely and easily. He figured now was as good of a time as ever to break the ice again. He took a bite of his steak, and then continued after a semi deep breath. With a grin towards the man. 'A smith, is what I have always wanted to be in my life. I do not posses the skill or the patience to do it though. I walk through these towns, watching the stalls, wishing, that these,' With a pause, he holds his paws up in front of him. 'could work metal into art. All they have done, is destroy and wreck. Nothing good can come out of these.' He took a deep breath, and took another bite out of his steak. He looked around, not really wanting to meet eyes with the blacksmith in front of him. He also, was starting to want something to drink really bad. |

"Ahh, that is where you are wrong, young one. Any being who wishes can craft, though only those who put their soul into their work can create the art. In time, you can learn patience, you can gain the skill. With training, those 'destructive' and 'wrecking' hands you just showed me, that you say nothing good can come from, can become the instruments of a master. It just takes time, and the right practice. If you have a skilled teacher, then things should go fine." Camaxtli explained, smiling calmly. He felt sorry for Luther, the young pup putting himself down so much. "Well, I am Camaxtli. I am a Smith without an apprentice. Perhaps you would like to learn the ways of a skilled Smith..?" He spoke to the boy as if he had known him for years. For some reason, he felt as if he did indeed know Luther somehow. There was no doubt that he reminded him of someone, but who it was exactly, the smith could not tell. |

Luther blushed slightly at the Camax, but you could not tell through his fur this though. He felt like he wished to talk some more, and motioned over to the table that he was sitting at previously. He started speaking slow, as it he was just now remembering now. 'Your... Apprentice? Me, as your apprentice.' Luther slowly walked over to the table. Unsure what was just said to him. He needed some time to process, to take in what all had been said. This man, was asking him to be his apprentice. He had never even felt the touch of metal, let alone craft it. 'Why would you want me, a beast, to be your apprentice. I am afraid that I cannot offer you much at all. I have no money, no skills to give you at all.' Luther took a over average bite of his steak to help him think. He looked up towards the man, and said softly. 'My name is Luther by the way. Just in case you wished to know.' |

"You are only a beast if you allow yourself to be one, Luther. I care not of race, or of personality. Put your feelings into your work, use your racial features to help you craft. Money is of no problem, and watching you work will be enough payment. As for skills, those come with practice, which you will get plenty of working as my apprentice. It is nice to meet you, Luther. If I had an excessive need for money, for anything at all, I would not have asked you so easily if you wanted to be my apprentice." Camaxtli smiled as he followed Luther, explaining things. During his apprenticeship, Luther could give a portion of what he earned from his crafts to the smith if the man truly needed the money. If he did not, the pup could keep his earnings. A lack of skills was no problem as well, for to gain skills, one must first actually use them. |

Luther smiled at Camax. He guess that he could not resist the offer. No matter how much he denied the offer, he could not live down his dream. He wanted to craft. To make weaponry and armor. To make beautiful art. He made up his mind. He would become an apprentice. With a grin, he asked proudly. 'So, when shall we start my teacher? There has to be many different techniques swirling around in that head. I can see it in your eyes, that you are up to something. At least though, if I am going to do this, allow me my services as a bodyguard. I am not much, but I can hold my own, and can defend others if needed. I grew up with a hammer in my hand, so give me one, and you have an apprentice, and a bodyguard all at your services.' Luther stood up, and looked around. With a grin, he motioned for the door. 'If you wish to lead the way, for I have no clue where we are going.' |

"Hah, I see you have confidence after all! Be careful, however. Show much disrespect, and I'll have to shove you around some to set you in your place, young one. I indeed have many different techniques, and I am almost always up to something, heh. You may guard my family if you wish. I do not need any help in guarding myself, thank you though. It will take time for you to get a hammer of your own, though I admire your excitement and readiness. Now, let us go back to my home. I live in the lands of Avalon, perhaps you've heard of them..?" Camaxtli spoke a lot, though he felt like saying many things. Finally he had an apprentice he could teach his family's skills and techniques. Finally. "I will speak to you later, Necalli! Sorry my visit has been cut short, but fate calls my name." Camaxtli shouted over his shoulder, chuckling to himself. He knew his friend would understand. |

Luther followed Camax out of the butchery, laughing softly at the mans soft, but firm words towards him. With a grin, he kept following, racking his mind. This was his chance, to make something of himself. Everything wanted to come out at once, but he could not quite think of the right words, nor the right time to say it. The only thing he could think of, was, 'Thank you. For everything you have done recently. I left my home, figuring that I would have nothing to go to, and that I would get nowhere. I have been forced to make some bad decisions, and some, will live with me forever. This, is my lifeline, to turn myself around. For that, I thank you.' Luther kept his eyes on the man ahead of him. He felt like a fool for rambling, but he didn't know what else to do. Everything was hitting him like a brick, and he loved it. His nose caught a familiar scent, but he ignored it, for the first time since he had first smelt it. Murder and thievery, were no longer his life. |
