Blurite Crossbow Limbs

Not all cats are terrified of crossbows, though most of the Bramblemead population quickly learned to fear them. Some cats could see their merit but were painfully aware of their human pet’s limited imagination.

Mittens was the lifelong owner of Gothren Actillian. A blacksmith’s cat, he had learned how to keep the forge fires perfectly hot by playfully jumping on the bellows periodically – something his pet seemed to enjoy. He knew the right length of time a sword should be cooled for and would make sure his human stuck to that timing by offering useful alarms made of glorious clattering things.
