Chapter 17: Goblins and Sorcerers
Since he already laid the plan in his mind, Aric called out to Ariel, "Ariel, please come." She came to him immediately he called.
"Uhm, I was thinking of building a wall around, that way we would be able to know our boundaries and also protect ourselves from the outside.
I have already worked on how the wall will be, but I need your help to start building it up," Aric said.
"Okay, so what do you want me to do first?" she asked.
"Alright, we will firstly need to mark out where the wall will be, in a square, using the stream as the center. I'll mark them out, and then you'll start digging from one marked point to the next one," Aric explained.
"How would I make it straight? I might miss it along the way," she raised a valid issue for them to tackle.
"Hmm, I hadn't thought of that, but there's a solution for that, and that's a string, as well as some sticks. Every few feet I take from the first mark, I'll plant a stick and tie the string around it.
I'll keep going like that until I have used the string to mark up the entire area that we will dig," Aric explained.
"Alright, I understand. So do we start now?" she asked.
"No, not yet. I have to make breakfast for us. You haven't eaten, right?" he said. He didn't want her working on an empty stomach, so he immediately got to work, not even giving her a chance to say anything.
