Chapter 116 – Departure
Year 3, Summer, First Month, First Week.
The wood builder, the dream tool of all wood crafters, capable of shaping, bending, binding and changing the quality of wood at will. If someone had told Alfeur about it a few years ago, he would laugh at the person’s delusion, but now, not only the tool existed, it was also on his hands ready to be used at his heart's content. Unfortunately, having the perfect tool and the right resources would expose one’s inability for all to see. He was suffering from the oldest crafting problem, incompetence. However, it wasn’t his fault, he never said he could build a bridge.
To make matters worse, this wasn’t the only problem, he was also struggling to use the tool correctly. Everyone told him to take his time, they trusted he would eventually get a handle on it. What was an extra week for those who traveled for months and would travel even more?
