In a tale spun by Scheherazade, Merchant Zayed is captured by the sorcerer Javad the Elder—ensnared in a perilous quest for a treasure cloaked in mystery and magic.
👉 Help Zayed pick out a hammer!
After a hearty late breakfast, accompanied with more tattles about the village women, Zayed heads towards the blacksmith’s shop. Upon entering, he sees a broad-shouldered woman wearing nothing but short pants and a leather apron, her body glistening from the fervor of her work.
“Good morning, blacksmith,” Zayed assesses a neutral greeting to be best.
Without looking, she answers: “Don’t tell me. The innkeeper told you I’m a lone woman, and you’ve come to try your luck.”
She keeps banging on a horseshoe.
“Actually,” he says, “I want to borrow your hammer.”
This makes her turn. Her deep blue eyes flash over his, before she turns to a bucket of water. Steam hisses like an angry cat when she drops the shoe into it.
Zayed notices her lips like ripe pomegranates, bursting with a rosy hue, hinting at the warmth and sweetness concealed within.
READ MORE“My hammer?”, she looks him over. “Why? Don’t you have one of your own?” She dips her tongs in the bucket and retrieves the shoe then places it on her anvil.
Zayed catches her quick smile. “Nothing’s wrong with my hammer, Most Noble Blacksmith. No one ever complained about it.”
She starts working on the shoe again.
“As I’m sure no one ever complained about your efforts,” Arash continues. He wonders how far he should go and decides to get to business. “I am told you possess a strong tool, capable of shaping even the most exotic of metals. May I use it?”
“Bring your metal here, and I’ll take care of it.” The forge illuminates her smile.
“I’m not one to shy away from heavy work,” Zayed tries. “But the object in question is too large to transport”.
She turns and leans to the side somewhat. Her powerful arms cup her muscled breasts. Zayed keeps his eyes on hers, instead of
savoring the roundnesses under her apron.
“What will you give me for lending it?” the blacksmith bargains.
