Logic and Beauty

Eiro walked along the roads of the city. The ones that he was passing through right now were practically empty; everyone that didn't absolutely need to be here was moved to other spots for now while Eiro and Partax were constructing the protective circuit of this city. It was a simple process; they just had to carve the magical array into the roads and walls into the places that Partax had built into the design. Of course, that was easier said than done. Things had to be just right, both in the sense of the physical construction of the carvings, as well as the density of magic flowing through them. Since these arrays were small enough, to most people they would look just like decorative carvings here and there, but they were incredibly important. They had to be perfectly balanced to make sure that every process worked as intended.
