A young girl, by the age of 17, walked along one of the bridges of the treetops. It was a foggy morning, and her hair, miraculously, wasn't frizzy, but completely straight. She felt like letting her hair loose today, instead of taming it up into a ponytail. Her turquoise eyes seemed to glow in the gray fog as she looked upon her ancient necklace. It had broken in a battle with a wolf ambush, and she was desperate to find somebody who could fix it.

Poseidon was visiting the city, to hopefully sell a few things he had made. The werewolf had rented a building there for about a week, today being his second day. He had just set up all of the objects he had already created, and was now in the back room making another shield. The fire glowed as he pumped the bellows up and down, making the fire stronger and hotter. When the brass was hot enough to bend easily, he pulled it from the flames and picked up his hammer, beginning to flatten it into a sheet.

Seeing smoke come from a nearby chimney, Ruffian quickened her pace until she came to a shop. She slowly walked in, looking around until she found a man hammering a piece of brass. "Excuse me!" She said, loud enough for the man to hear over the flames, hopefully.

The werewolf set the hammer down upon a voice. He came into the main room of the shop, to find a girl standing in the enterance way. "Hello." he said. "Can I help you?"

Ruffian came up to the desk, and set her broken necklace down. "Well...I sure hope so." She said. Feeling a wave of uneasiness, she paused, having second thoughts about going through so much just to have her necklace fixed. "Are you able to mend this back together?" She asked, looking at the man. "It's very special to me."

The werewolf picked up the necklace in his paws. Poseidon held it up to his eye to get a better look. "Yeah, of course I fix it." he said. "Do you want anything added to it?" he asked.

Ruffian shook her head. "No, it's alright, no extras." She said softly. "Thank you, so much. It means a lot to me."

"No problem." he said. Poseidon turned to go back to the fire and fix the necklace when he asked, "Would you like to watch? It's pretty cool."

She blinked a few times, then walked up to watch. "Sure, I've never actually seen it done before."

"Okay." he said. Poseidon walked back to the fire, and grabbed a tool from beside the flames. He took the piece off of the chain, and set on the tool. Extending it into the flames, he watched as it slowly began to glow yellow, and it would eventually glow orange and red.

Ruffian continued to watch as the man's hard hands worked with her ancient necklace gently. The piece began to glow brighter and brighter, and she wondered how long he would keep it there.

When it was hot enough, he set it on the table and grabbed a small detailing tool, which he used to put the two ends together neatly.

Ruffian continued to watch, and let her mind wander to when it happened....
A loud whine echoed throughout the forest as Ruffian smashed a wolf into a tree. She was in her horse form; a liver chestnut with a white sock on her left-back leg, and a white star on her forehead. Suddenly, she felt claws dig into her back, causing her to screech and start to immediately buck and kick. The wolf, however, was staying on tight, and so she improvised. She ran, and slammed her back into a tree. Boy, it hurt like heck, but it got the wolf off, and she was relieved for a second. Another wolf charged towards her, and lunged at her neck. Luckily, she was too quick, and lifted off the ground as the wolf crashed into her chest, grabbing her necklace instead. The wolf fell to the ground, the necklace a few feet away. Ruffian brought her front hooves onto the wolf, and rid herself of anymore danger for that day...

Poseidon dipped the necklace in cold water, watching as steam hissed off the surface. When it was cooled, he strung it back onto the chain. "There you go. Good as new." he said. But her eyes seemed unfocused, as if she was in another place. Poseidon put a paw on her shoulder. "Hello? Are you okay miss...?" he didn't really know her name.

"Huh?" She said drousily, but then came to the present again. "Oh! Thank you!" Ruffian said, hiding the uneasiness and embarrassment. "It's beautiful..." She smiled at him.
