Hey guys, it's Leon. I've got some pretty bad news. I've been gone for a bit for medical reasons, and I'm going to be g0ne for even longer. I'm actually about to have to check into the hospital because something unexpected came back up.
I can't remember who all I've told, but I have had cancer in the past. It was a benign skin cancer that I thought had been eliminated. Turns out I was wrong. It has turned malignant over the time it was still in my body, and now I have to do treatments to try to fight it. Once it has shrunk back down, I should be able to get it all cut out and then be back out of the hospital, I'm just not sure how much time that will take.
I will be taking my old laptop up to the hospital with me, along with my phone. Hopefully, I can talk sexy to one of the nurses to let me steal some more internet then I'd normally be allowed. If I can, I'll be able to update more frequently then I could without it. I'll be on skype on my phone if any of you need to contact me, I think I have Char's skype. Mine's LeonOrcot if you need anything.
Gonna attempt to post for literally all of my posts tonight before I head off to the hospital in the morning.
Peace out guys, and I'll talk to you all again soon, hopefully.

Gently accepting the handle of the blade back and setting it off to the side. Sliding the spare gems off to the side, he would grab them in a bit to put them up. Pulling the three piles of gems over to him he quickly and efficiently looked over each one, not minding any flaws seen, just looking for any debris that may still be located inside. Finding only minimal amounts he nodded his head, "I can get that done Mona, piece of cake." Picking up the excess gems, he walked back over to the storage and placed them back inside.
On his walk back, he grabbed up three bowls made of a thick, tough stone material. He returned to the bench, where he grabbed up the gems and separated them into the three bowls, followed by his placing them beside the bar of iron inside of the hot coals of the forge. He slid back over to the bellows and pumped them a few times to bring the heat levels up inside the forge. Looking from the bar, over to the anvil, he decided to cheat a bit at making her weapon. Turning to the shelf that was under his workbench, he grabbed two clamps from under it and fastened them to the anvil. Taking the bar of white hot iron out of the forge, he secured it in the clamps. Looking over to Mona, he gave her a grin and a wink, "This is where things get interesting for people who haven't seen us work before. You're going to want to shield your eyes in a second." He grabbed the hilt of the weapon from where he had placed it, he put it on top of the Stygian Iron.
Pulling the celestial bronze hammer from the loop on the side of his pants he twirled it around, having it slowly assume the form of his war hammer. On what would be the final spin he gripped it with both of his hands and brought it down upon the obsidian of the hilt. For most people, this would lead to the obsidian shattering, or at least cracking and chipping. But in this instance, both the obsidian and the iron started glowing brighter. Pulling his goggles down over his eyes to combat the intense light, he continued hammering away at it. As the glowing started to fade, he paused for a moment and grabbed the bowls filled with the now liquid gems. He gently poured them over the top of the glowing form of the sword and began hammering away at it again, causing the liquid gems to start to glowing as well.
With one final swing of his mighty hammer, the glow faded completely, revealing something that he would bet a few dollars on that Mona wasn't expecting. Resting on the anvil was a tasteful pendant, a shining black chain with a Gothic stylized letter L hanging from the chain. The L had traces of red, blue, and silver from the gems. Picking up the cool chain, he unlatched the clasp holding it together and turned to face Desdemona. Smiling at her, he said, "I hope you like it, I think this is one of the finest things I've ever made. Now turn around for me and I'll place it around your neck."

Leon nodded his head as she spoke of a cross guard and began cutting again, slowly working the block of obsidian down into a beautiful cross guard. He paused in this to look up at her face as she started describing what she saw. He let a smile come over his face as she spoke in a wistful voice. Listening to how she described the colors, he figured it wouldn't be all that hard to integrate other colors into the blade. He could melt up a few jewels and hammer a few channels into the blade and fill them in with the molten gems, letting them cool into the blade itself and join with it. Getting back to work on the hilt, he managed to finish it up and turned to her. "How does this fit with your hand? It feel alright? If not I can recut it until it is correct." He softly smiled at her, handing her the finished pommel. It was simple, and yet elegant at the same time. The obsidian was shining in the light of the forges and the cross guard held a simple pattern of swirls, it was also grooved so that it could be filled with more of the gems once he melted them down.
Taking a moment after handing it to her he stepped back over to the forge and grabbed the heated bar with his now bare hands. Pulling it out of the fires he gave it a good once over and nodded his head. Pulling a hammer from the nearby wall, he took it to the metal and started to fold it over onto itself. He would do this two more times before he was satisfied and began to give the blade it's trademark curve and shape, placing it back in to the forge once it began to cool off. He pumped the bellows again to freshen up the air and heat the forge and stepped over to the area where they kept the gems in the forge. He selected a few different colors and brought them over to Desdemona. Smiling at her as he sat down at the bench again, he laid the jewels across the table. "We have several different colors of gems, so why don't you pick out the ones you would like me to color your blade with Mona. This way, you have all the input on the colors and you'll love the blade even more."

Leon smiled at Sammy J as she mentioned the Beach Boys again, typical child of Poseidon. He already knew she loved surfing and the beach, he didn't mind laying out on the sand himself. He gave a bigger smile as the song started up, it had been ages since he heard this one. He bounces a little to the beat and when Elvis starts singing, so does Sammy J. Hearing her sing along with Elvis gets him singing too.
He stood up and as he was singing he started dancing around like in the video he remembered seeing of Elvis. Swinging around and vaulting over the other bunks. Making pelvic motions and swinging his arms around a bit while dancing, he felt a true bit of happiness and laughed a bit. As the record came to and end he sat back down on the bunk and sighed, "That was fun! Your turn now, let's see what you really love in this collection."

Leon chuckled at her choice of words, red flag indeed. He gave a small smile and turned back to the metal in the bins. Putting away the bronze and gold, he pulled out a larger bar of Stygian Iron. He walked over to beside Mona and held the bar up beside her. He nodded to himself before placing the bar into the now hot forge, it needed time to glow so he could begin to bend and shape it into the proper curve. Going over to a chest off to the side, he started digging around in it. This was where they kept different types of stone and wood for projects like this. "Ah, this bit should do nicely."
Smiling he turned back to his table and looked over to Mona sitting on a nearby stool. "Well now, it's time to shape this hunk of rock, down into a beautiful handle." Carefully channeling his power over fire, he formed a small intense flame on the end of his finger, much like a blowtorch. He used it to cut off most of the excess rock until he was left with a rectangle of obsidian on the work bench. Checking up on the iron before continuing he found it needed a few more minutes of heating up, so he had enough time to finish up the handle before he needed to pull out the iron. "Ah, next set of questions. Would you like this as one handed or two? Would you prefer a cross guard or a hand guard? I would also like for you to try to describe what it looks like inside of that portal of yours. I'll see if I can get a similar design on the blade so that it looks as beautiful to you as it is deadly."

Leon started thinking to himself. A curved blade, a scimitar she said. He took another look at her and sized her up to get a better idea of just the right size and weight for the blade. She was roughly, six foot he would say, based on his own height. He wasn't exactly sure on her weight, and it was considered impolite to ask, so he let that one slide. He had gotten a good enough look at her arms to know about how strong she should be. "Alright, I think I can manage that. Would you like a sheathe for it, or would you like me to enchant it into a piece of jewelry? And what metal would you like it made from?" Leon asked her these questions as they arrived at the forge, opening the door and allowing her to enter first.
He walked over to where the refined, but unused metals were inside the forges. He bent down and picked up a pair of gloves and placed them on his hands. Grabbing three bars of metal he laid them out in front of Mona on the station he would be working at. "We have Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, and Stygian Iron. Got a fresh shipment of gold in from Camp Jupiter a week ago I believe. Take your pick, and then tell me what if you want anything inlaid into the metal, like a patter or colors, and what you would like the hilt to be made out of. I need to warm up the furnace." He walked over to a nearby furnace and using his powers set it alight. He then turned to the nearby bellows and started to pump it manually, forcing fresh air into the furnace and heating up the coals.

Leon thought to himself as he pulled on a fresh pair of cargo pants. She could see some kind of interesting colors in that swirling blackness? That would be pretty sweet in his opinion. All he got to see was a swirling mass of darkness. He shrugged on an black Pink Floyd t-shirt and grabbed his working goggles off his table, a handmade pair of steampunk goggles. He figured he would head down to the forges with Mona and see what he could get up to there. Pulling his combat boots on after a clean pair of socks, he walked back outside to Mona. Closing the metal door behind him he put the goggles on his head, resting just above his eyes. Smiling at her, he speaks, "Alrighty then Mona, let's head down to the forges. I'll see what I can get made up today."
He suddenly took on a contemplative look on his face. As he began to walk he was thinking on something. Deciding to voice his thoughts he called back to Mona, "Hey Mona, would you like a weapon? I can make just about anything so it can be whatever you'd like. I just want something to do with my hands for a little while." He twitched his hand for a moment before letting it settle back down to normal.

Seeing her pulling something out from under her bed he averted his eyes before she caught him looking at her glorious bum. "Don't worry, I'll be careful. I know how much people's music means to them." He looked at the carton of vinyl and started browsing through them, still stealing glances at her rear as she worked on pulling out her record player. Slowly pulling out one of the Elvis albums, he found it to be one of the first ever released. "Now this right here, is old school. I haven't listened to this album in years. Look good?" He offered it to her after she had the record player out. It was the Jailhouse Rock album. He joined her in sitting cross legged on the floor by the player.

Leon smiled as Mona pulled him into the portal. He wasn't really sure what to expect and was underwhelmed when he entered. All around him was a tunnel of blackness. "Well, I have to say, this is pretty, well, underwhelming. I guess I expected, more?" Leon shrugged his shoulders here. He followed Mona as the tunnel continued onwards into blackness. Before long there was a light at the end of the tunnel. The light kept getting brighter so Leon slipped his shades down over his eyes. Once the light faded to normal he took the shades off and looked at the Hephaestus Cabin right in front of him. "Okay, not going to lie, much cooler then normal walking. Quicker too from the look of it." He looked over to where the beach was in the distance.
He began walking up the short steps to the porch of the cabin. Pulling open the giant metal door he looked back at Mona. "You gonna stay out here while I change, or would you like to see the rest of me as well?" Leon gave her a wink before stepping inside the cabin. He had a feeling she wouldn't follow him, but just in case she wanted to, he left the door cracked open for her. Stepping to his bunk at the back of the room, he quickly disrobed before beginning to get dressed again.

He watched for a minute as she spoke from the top of the cliff like thing in front of him. He waited for Walter to paddle over to where he was before moving alongside the large dog. He looked up at Walter as they padded to the top of the cliff. "So, what's it like being a hellhound?" Leon smiled up at Walter as he looked down at him. Walter gave a low bark followed by a series of other noises. Leon put a hand on his chin and nodded his head thoughtfully. "That's about what I thought. Frank's been a good partner to you hasn't she?" Walter's tail started to wag rapidly and he gave an excited bark.
Leon laughed and patted him on the side as they arrived in the main cave area. Going over to the unlit fire pit, he waved a hand at it and shot out a fireball that quickly ignited the dry wood and produced a glowing warmth. He sat down to the right of Frank and smiled at her, "Now then, I had a lovely conversation with Walter. So let's see just what's on your mind, eh Frank?" He gave her a pat on the shoulder and waited for her to start speaking.

Leon extinguished the flames in his palms before he took them away from around her and waded around to the front of her. He looked at her and sighed. He could tell something was up from the way she tensed up when he hugged her. He crossed his arms and looked deep into her eyes. "Alright, spill it. I felt you tense up when I was warming you up. I didn't see anything strange so it must have been something I did. But let's get you dried off and warmed up first. Comfort will help you talk, it works most of the time anyways." He turned away from her to go back to where he took off his clothing, slowly climbing out of the pool to giver her a show of his body again.
He stood there beside his clothes, before he set his entire body on fire to dry it off. He slowly picked up his clothes and put them all back on. He waited for her beside the water, looking back over to her. He gave her a cheeky grin and put his hands on his hips bending over a bit. "Well come on, unless you just want me to stay the night here."

The smirk never left his face as she spoke. It actually seemed to grow a bit wider as she teased him back. "Sorry to disappoint you then, but I enjoy stripping given the right moment. Would you like me to finish?" The teasing tone in his voice was there, but he would finish if she asked. He didn't have anything to hide from the woman in front of him. His grin slipped away as she teased him again. No, having a hellhound sit on him wasn't on his list of thing to do today. However, "I wouldn't mind if you sat on me." He gave her an innocent look before he winked at her.
He watched as she stood and dove off of Walter. He applauded her for her effort. "I'll give that one a solid seven. You were shaky on take off and off form when you landed." Leon watched as she checked the time. He wasn't sure how long they had been in here, but he didn't really care. He kept his body warm with his natural heat, so the water didn't affect him. He watched as she wrapped her arms around herself. Deciding to be a gentleman he walked over to her. Going behind her, he pressed against her, wrapping his arms around her as well. "You look a little cold, perhaps I should help heat things up." Cupping his hand a ways in front of her, he let a flame flicker to life in his palms, growing until it was providing warmth for the two of them.

Leon gave a sigh as he saw the wave coming towards him. "Of all the women to mess with, I get the one with a large hellhound that can make huge waves." Leon crouched lower to the water as the wave approached him. It washed over him, knocking him off his feet and pushing him back a good few feet. He rose back out of the water, shaking off his wet hair and slicking it back. Running a hand through his beard he stretched a bit and swam over to Walter. He watched as Frank cooed at Walter and smiled a bit. Seems the hard daughter of Ares had a soft side after all.
Reaching Walter he reached out a hand to pet him on the side as he stood below Frank. He looked up at her drenched form above him and smiled more. He wasn't minding the way that her shirt clung to her body. "So Frank, besides doing some water fighting, what did you have in mind once you got me back to your home and half naked?" He gave her a cheeky wink and a grin. He didn't think she knew what he was going to do once they arrived, but he knew he had to do something to mess with her a bit more. He spread his legs a bit and crossed his arms, grin still on his face.

Leon smiled a bit at what she said in response. She hadn't realized that he had been flirting with her. He wasn't sure if he was being too subtle or what. He walked beside the skipping girl, their arms locked together. He didn't skip, nor would he skip. When they arrived Leon smiled more as she spoke of her record collection. "Now that is impressive. I can't wait to see them Sammy J." Leon followed her inside to her bunk and watched as she got down on her knees and bent under the bed to grab her record player. He enjoyed the view for a moment before moving to sit down on the bunk next to hers. It appeared to be one of the unoccupied bunks in the cabin. He waited for her to pull out the player and listen to the good music in her collection.

Leon smiled at the younger man's rambling. He didn't mind, he knew that was how people talked at times. "You are correct, my affinity for machines is much greater then my skill at painting. I enjoy both though. I watched a man who painted like this when I was younger with my mother and I imitate him from time to time." He cleaned off the scraper and mixed a few color together to form a nice dark brown and used it to draw a few lines to simulate trees. Putting the scraper down he grabbed up the brush again and mixed some green, orange, and brown together to make a nice autumn color for the leaves. Gently applying that to the canvas he listened to Jaron talk more.
He smiled as he finished up the trees. This painting was coming along well and he just needed to finish up the small pond and the grass. Grabbing some blue on the brush he quickly fills in where the pond will be. "Well you should just ignore them, maybe try playing on the roof where they can't bother you. And that painting's not so bad for a beginner. I learned this with hours and hours of watching Bob Ross paint. He shows you everything you need to know." Leon begins the final stages of his painting by filling in where the grass should be with a green mixed together with a little brown.
