  Lyo's Craft - Clanworld Camelin -19 BA

  Lyo had been planning something for a while, having quiet discussions with Lord Camelin who had directed him to some of the finer artisans, and then Lyo would disappear for days on end, to emerge with sore hands, but a satisfied look upon his face. Finally, on Gya's 12th Name Day, he presented her with a gift that he had made with his own hands. A very fine dagger, wrapped in gilded superconductor foil, the blade was single piece of mono-crystalline metal with a molecular edge, which would never need to be sharpened. He placed it around her neck on a golden chain as she smiled at him with happiness and pride. Lyo also had another made, which was for little Aya, once she was old enough.
