Chapter 100: Threads of The Village
Borin wasn't sure when it happened, but somehow, he was now the proud owner of a clothing shop.
He stood proudly in front of a wooden building with a stitched sign that read "Borin's Threads."
Inside, bolts of silk, spider-fiber cloth, leather, and fur were stacked neatly in shelves. Wooden mannequins wore sample tunics and cloaks. The elves had helped with design. Caelen had helped with thread. And now, Borin stood at the counter, arms crossed like a proud merchant.
"Didn't think I'd become a tailor," he muttered. "But here we are."
Beside him were four goblins and two humans, the newly trained sewing team. The elves taught them fast. Even the kids were helping cut patterns.
Borin held up a silky, reinforced tunic. "Soft. Fire-resistant. And stylish!"
Caelen had stopped by earlier and laughed when he saw it. "It's perfect. Now make one in my size."
Zira just shook her head. "So this is your next evolution, huh? From warrior to weaver."
"I'm multi-talented," Borin had replied smugly.
Villagers crowded the new shop that afternoon.
A goblin woman named Mira held up a spider-silk scarf in awe.
