This was my first venture into reading both Nick Kyme's work, as well as ANYTHING Salamanders, and I must say that I loved it!
Vulkan He'stan was absolutely amazing! I really hope we get to see more of him like this!
Extremely well done Mr. Kyme!

Pretty cool intro to a character I knew nothing about.

A really really good little snippet of the determination to produce the best blade, and a little fight with some drakes
