I wish I
could’a
seen the
battle!
but mum
says
I’m too
young.
she’s right.
ye’ll grow up
fast enough.
now… have ye
been shadowin’
old gordie the
bladesmith like
I told ye?
I’ve passed
the tests,
old gordie
says!
good lad!
I’m
turning over my
claymore sword to
yer care then. see
that it gets properly
honed before the
next battle!
time passes…
ye’ve got a natural
knack, dougal lad! just
like yer dear old da.
in honor of
his memory,
y’can make
yerself any
blade ye
please.
thank ye kindly,
gordie, but I’m
no warrior. my
skill is
making
the steel, not
wielding
it!
give me the
task of forging
our champion’s
next sword.
‘tis a verra great
honor
to make our
champion’s blade, so
dinna betray my trust
in ye.
work hard
and
make me proud.
oh, I
will
gordie! I
promise!
more time passes… as dougal hammers bravemast’s newest sword.
old gordie
warned me this was
hot, hard, dirty
work… and mighty
thankless, too!
but this is the
third sword
bravemast has
asked me to make
him since old
gordie died…
… so I’ve earned
his trust and
respect now!
dougal mactigh!
come join us
at macdonald’s
inn to toast
bravemast’s
latest victory!
sorry, kenneth.
I have to finish
this sword for
the morrow.
now…
where
was I?
dougal!
yer
stew’s gettin’
cold. t’was
ready nigh an
hour
ago!
