29 Frost 121
Gems and gems and gems and gems. That was all Dakkur had been making over the past few days; him and everyone else actually as one of the more important concerns of late seems to have been a way to fend off the biting Frost. In fact Dakkur had finished so much of those gems made of firestone that he would swear he is actually quicker at making them- if one were looking at the perspective of the amount of time he was able to sit idle and go home earlier. His speed was not in how fast he could finish up a batch of viscerite, that always seemed to take the same amount of time no matter what was being made if a runesmith was actually concerned with safety and a properly functioning product; his speed is more apparent in his better practiced motions of cutting, polishing and identifying the frequencies in the viscerite he was making.So of course when he saw the chance, he was going to go for something different. As it had become obvious to him, everyone else was more concerned with reaching whatever they believed was their daily quota and had become more mechanical in their daily work. Not that he could judge them as he had been the same. Taking his choice of firestone at the start of the day, dumping the whole lot of them into the aether forge, observing the whole mess of auras in it, until he could pour it all out into his chosen mold then, grind and cut and smoothen. Boring! What differed for him on this day then other than the boredom from his lack of a chance to flex his creative abilities? Nothing much other than a fresh new batch of firestones being brought in. In the earlier days of the forge's firestone undertaking of this Frost, Dakkur had been slow to get at the choice picks of firestones available but now that there was a new shot at it he would not delay any more.
As he had wanted on that first day the forge started churning out those firestone based products for Frost, Dakkur took the biggest he could find of the whole lot of them, as he wanted to make sure he had no competition for what he needed, he did not even bother to pay any heed to the purity and wholeness of the shards. Of course those being considered would make his work much easier for him, the better those qualities, the easier it would be to handle the processing of the shards but that would only mean he would have to pay more attention and have much more care while working
