There and Back Again
Lith spent his last free days studying Alchemy and Forgemastering.
Both the crafting disciplines were very hard to convert into true magic.
Alchemy was a weak subject for him.
He barely managed to understand the basics, leaving most of the work to Solus, while he studied his clothes, amulet, and magic storing rings, hoping to understand how to replicate and enhance their pseudo cores with true Forgemastering.
Before leaving, Lith managed to pay a social visit to Protector, Reaper, and Lifebringer. He wanted to be updated about the situation in the Trawn woods, but more importantly, he was fishing for Alchemic ingredients.
During spring, animals would change their coats, and deer would shed their antlers. What for him was a treasure for them was garbage, so they had no reason to deny his request.
By simply grooming them for a few minutes, he had enough fur to stuff several pillows.
