Chapter 1 : My own Weapon

"I don't need it."

"Of course you don't but the mission does!"

"I don't care. This is my mission and not yours."

A silhouette was seen walking away from that dark and cramped room in the hotel. A lady in her early twenties sighed heavily and disappeared into the night.

Eleanor "Grey" Smith. The last of the Smith bloodline. Five-seven ft tall. She had long black hair and dark colored eyes, the typical features you see everyday right? But, this was different. Whenever she loses control of her temper, her eyes show a different color of some sort. Maybe a color close to red. Not a demon's eye according to myths and legends of course. This was common in their family.

Her relatives were that of a mafia themed family. Each and every single person knows either using weapons or hand in hand combact. As a tradition every year, they had a competition and ranking for the mafia business. The Smith's were the Royals as they always won followed by the Harrington's and thirdly the Garcia's.

After the recent competition, the Smiths were gathered together in the living room. But, this is a recollection for another chapter.

'Ding dong'

"So early in the morning...whatever. Coming!"

"Good morning Lady Smith!", said a tall man in a black suit and groomed hair. He was Josh Smith, cousin of Eleanor and the other survivor of the Smith Massacre.

"Mornin' Josh. Why so early, come in." said a 'just woke up' Eleanor. "Well, we need to discuss about the design." "Oh...right I forgot. Gimme a minute or two."

"Done."

"Just in time, look at the desings I drew. Once you pick one choose the materials that we're gonna use." "Hmm...choosing will be a hard decision."

The desings were drawn spot on but only one caught her eye. It had intricate carvings of two dragons on the handle and a full body one on the blade. It had a few spaces for the carved abstract designs and a few vines and flowers. Just small but delicate details.

"I'll choose this."

"Good choice sis. This is a real personalized design I drew based on some aspects of your personality."

"Great work then."

"Now to the materials.", said Josh while listing all the best possible materials to be used.

"Stop writing, I already know what I want. Here.", Eleanor gave a peice of paper in which her desired materials are listed.

"Carbon steel? Good choice but if you don't know it's prone to rusting."

"I know that's why we'll be experimenting using different steels and see if we'll be able to add it in the mixture to prevent brittling and rusting."

"Alright. I'll buy the other materials and you start fixing the garage."

"Hmm..."
