Chapter 42: Disrupted
His eyes flickered with a glint of understanding.
"I see. It makes sense." He looked at the sheet of paper where he had been trying to do it, and the scattered threads, he no longer knew which ones he was using.
But for the third time, he tried to make the Rune of Power. This time, choosing a variety of different Threads to make them. He calculated the size of each section of the Power Rune to use the appropriate threads.
Since this was the third time he had tried it, he was able to speed up the process, but choosing threads and maintaining accuracy were complicated, so halfway through, he suddenly slowed down.
He had reached the most complicated sections of the Fabric; he needed to be more careful and choose correctly the threads to use. This had some complexity, as choosing the wrong one would mean increasing the work he had to do and, in the midst of the complexity of a Rune formation, could cause the Rune to explode.
Thanks to Laura’s suggestion, he got closer and closer to completing it. He believed that if he completed the rune, the connections would not be much of a problem. They are only connections, after all.
He passed the place where he failed the first time, and also where he failed the second time, due to a lack of control. Soon, he was facing uncharted territory.
A turning point that formed the Rune as a kind of triangle with a cross, but somewhat inverted and upside down. This strange figure was to be connected to the whole Rune, so, although it was large and yet small, it had to reach each side.
He had to choose the longest thread he could and slowly drew it over the Rune...
His eyes shone when he realized that he was about to succeed in this complicated region.
While he would be a little short after that, achieving it would already be a breakthrough in creation.
