Apnos Portal - Lyra, World of Crystal Volai

Prompt #4 - Leslie Everlake

Leslie Everlake is a transgender human man in his mid fifties with short cropped salt-and-pepper hair, brown skin, and a massive ice-white sword as tall as he is. He is one of the most lauded blacksmiths in the Paperverse, and he specializes in aurora based weapons. His Aurora Forge is extremely selective with the apprentices it takes on, but Everlake is always happy to receive short term help in exchange for advice, knowledge, or on occasion some of his apprentices’ pieces. The crystals on the surface are plentiful, but he always has need of the older and studier crystal found in the caves beneath the mountains. He has ongoing postings with the guild requesting help from adventurers to collect them. Show your character encountering Everlake or their journey fulfilling Everlake’s quest. Your piece must include your character and either Everlake or a scene during the quest.

It is Lan's first portal experience and she has found herself deep inside a cave full of glowing crystals with one of the best blacksmiths in the Paperverse. As usual, she offers her services with no payment expected, and although the experience was a reward in itself already, Lan totally would not mind a specially crafted weapon from Everlake if he absolutely insists on giving her something in exchange--  ;)
