Chapter 291
Max felt Aimee’s eyes on him as he slowly carved off a section of the wood Romandis had given him.
Small strips lay on the floor, and Max felt himself drawn to this simple task.
How many times did I whittle wood as a kid? Yet now… this feels so different. Like it’s a part of me.
Shaving the staff, Max let the wood almost guide him. It was as if something inside told him where to leave a little more of a bump, while another had him cut deeper, creating a groove.
The entire time, Romandis stood next to him, giving soft instructions at first and then went silent upon seeing Max work so quickly through the wood.
Once the staff was done, Max picked up the etching tool and began to carve runes he knew from back in his world.
“What are those?”
“Similar to what your world uses for enchanting. Except I’m going to try something different.”
