Chapter 66 - Punishment
The clang of my hammer reverberated through the forge and all my focus was on what I was making. I didn't get much time in the forge, not as much as I wanted, and I had to make the most of it when I did.
That was why I was so annoyed at the interruption.
"What is it, Abigail?" I tried not to sound tired and it was getting harder every day.
"You are needed in the keep. Something happened that we need your decision on." Abigail said.
She was wearing the furs of some of the lightning tigers as armor and held a clipboard in her hand. It was a magic clipboard that she got through her profession and it did...something. I wasn't sure.
She finally got over her decision of picking a profession and went with the one I knew she would, it just took her longer to realize that. Now that our pylon was a small town, I could appoint a leader to it and a profession came with it. It didn't carry the same weight as being the actual leader but it was in charge of most things.
I sure as hell wasn't going to do it. It took up most of my sister's time and there was no way I was wasting time doing that. I was glad that she seemed to enjoy it, but I wouldn't be caught dead doing it.
Her new profession made it easier to organize things and she was tied to the faction and settlement screens of the pylon. I mostly ignored them after I got promoted to head.
There wasn't a lot in them since we were only a small town and more would open up at the next level. It did have some cool stuff though and one thing we were planning to buy soon.
Wanting to get this over with quickly, I followed her into the keep to see what this was about. The keep was what we called the stone structure in the middle of our camp. It was two stories tall and made entirely out of stone and keep was an apt name.
We made it homey-er in the time we had but we still didn't waste a lot of time decorating it. Most of it was hides that couldn't be used as armor because they were deficient in some way.
It told a story of our victories and the foes we defeated. If I was being honest, it was kind of cool. I never would have thought keeping trophies like this would have appealed to me but it was different when it was personal.
