I am on a fucking roll with these chapters! Two in a row so far, gonna keep going.
Natalie's P.O.V
Scyrus flew back onto the platform and I followed him out of the lab and into a deeper part of the fortress. I skimmed the book and saw that it detailed how to make different stations with witch to craft… something on.
"what are these stations even used for?" he smiled and said "try building one and find out." He opened a door and led me into a boiling hot room. The walls were lined with different weapons and tools. Large swords, larger axes, and a massive blunt tool that looked to be for mining.
Each of the tools was made of a rainbow of different materials, everything from iron to stone to bone, and weirder things still! I looked around more and saw a large black pillar almost touching the roof of the room. I looked through a layer of glass on it and saw a myriad of boiling metals and other materials.
Scyrus pulled out some wood and sticks and handed them to me. "build" he simply said and I abliged, following the instructions in the book. When I built some of the patters and turned them into work stations, the tan cover of the book turned a red hue and seemed to grow more pages.
The new pages detailed some of the tools I had seen on the wall, the large mining instrument was a "hammer", the different swords had names like cleaver, broadsword, and longsword. I kept flipping and I found what they were made of, the sheer amount had my head spinnting until Scyrus snapped me out of it.
"now, try your hand at making one" he tossed some pieces at me and I went to work on my newly constructed workstation. I took the slimy looking rod and lay it on the table, I placed the purplish head next to it and wrapped it in a papery binding. I knocked it together a bit with my hand and the tool fused itself together.
I picked up the very heavy pickaxe and Scyrus took it and attached it to the wall. "well that does it for tinkering, I suggest we take lunch." He walked out and I followed him. We walked back through the twisting halls and came to a platform. It was simple birch but when Scyrus flipped a lever on a wall, the floor began to rise with us on it.
"where are we going? I thought you said lunch." I looked around at the moving platform. "there are a few things I need to get from a friend, he happens to also own a small inn. I thought we could eat there." I nodded and waited for the platform to stop. When it did, we were inside a small house.
Scyrus opened the small door to the small house and we walked outside into a forest. The memories of the previous day's events were fresh in my mind. I shivered a bit from the mental rush then followed Scyrus to a clear patch of grass.
He pulled a glowing rectangle out of his satchel and pressed something on it. The patch of grass lowered and split in half, a platform with a strange contraption raised and Scyrus got in it. He pulled the goggles down over his head and pointed to another seat. "get in the plane"
A bit short but it works… I guess
