A sword?
You nod and instantly get to work taking the first bar and heating it up till it's white hot then slowly pound it out into the shape of a long thin rod. You then take the rod and twist it around until it's a corkscrew shape and cool it down. You then take the second bar and repeat the process. With the other three bars you decide to do something different by pounding them flat like your first one then warping two of them around the two rods fleshing them out. Then you start taking your two much larger pieces of iron and fusing them together into one long blade by using the fifth bar as filler. It takes you about five hours to finish and when you're done you stare at your work for a while then sigh and set it down on the forge.
The forge master walks over and studies the blade then says simply "Do you think you could have done better if you were shown what to do?" You nod and he smiles then says "Are you proud of your work?" You think about it and study the strange sword blade, it looks nothing like the swords you've seen before, but yet you're proud of it anyway so you nod. He laughs and says "Then that's all that counts. Come back tomorrow and I'll show you how to work with metal the proper way." You nod then walk toward the center of town where the alpha is standing alongside his council and discussing the plans of the days to come. You nod at him as you pass and walk back to your hut wondering why it is your body needs so little sustenance compared to when you were a normal human. Your body also digests protein a lot better than it used to.
