Year 983 July 29

Today I woke up at around 8am having slept most of the previous day, I woke up because I was starving, getting out of the water and drying myself was the first thing I did, then I brushed my teeth, I headed outside getting everything from my room that I will need later.

Mostly parchment paper and writing implements, art kit and other small things and storing them away, then went downstairs where surprisingly, only Sylf was awake, sitting on the table and sipping a cup of tea and having fruit salad.

"Hey, good to see you're awake, want some tea?" I sit down in the table next to her and give her a small hug from the side and she returns it with a nuzzle.

"Yes please, no sugar, morning by the way my sweet big fluffy wolf, did those two stay at the sofa all day and night? They must be really tired, better to let their bodies rest so they're back to normal by the time they wake up." I levitated over my cup from the kitchen, and placed it on the table where the teapot was, and I got a cup poured, red tea is a really nice morning beverage.

"They slept there and they're still there, but they switched positions and are laying sideways now, how are you though, you were very tired too last night, I could tell by the way your legs were shaking. Are you in any pain?" She asked, genuine care on her expression.

"I'm pretty good, my legs feel a bit sore but not too much, I feel like sleeping in the bathtub with ice really helped me, and you mom?" I give her a reassuring smile and pat her back, while taking a careful sip of the tea, finding it barely lukewarm, perfect, I didn't mind warm tea but I prefer to not burn my sensitive tongue.

"I was tired yesterday, but my legs didn't get wobbly, nothing hurts right now, I feel normal if im honest, I did get hungry though, there's fruit salad on the fridge that I made, if you want to eat, I headed to the market earlier and I got plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, as well as meat, fish and cheese that I know you love, I even got one of those fuzzy white cheeses you prefer." She explained while I sipped more tea, I she went on about cheese my tail started wagging, slapping the wall behind me by accident so I forced the unruly appendage to keep still.

"Oh yesss! I love some good ol' fuzzy Brie cheese, thank you so much! You know what? I should probably make some fruit jam to go along with that cheese, well I don't know if I'll even have time, I have to start today, I've procrastinated enough." I say with a determined expression.

"What are you going to be doing then? Have in mind next month you start school again, and it's going to be more advanced than what you did earlier, you'll need to have that in mind before you dedicate yourself to something completely new." I took a long sip of tea, until the cup was empty, then grabbed the fruit salad from the fridge and served myself a decently big portion, then added whipped cream to it and sprinkled a good amount of gem dust and fragments from the jar in the kitchen.

I came back to the table and sat down with my large portion, looking at it hungrily before answering.
"Enchantment, I have to practice, I want to get some books on it too, I have to take the ore to the blacksmith and I would be happy if you could go with me and help me make the request, because it would be weird for a minor to carry over a hundred and fifty kilograms of rare metal." I gestured to the vault on the living room.

"All that fancy ore I obtained, I want to make it into ingots and have them in the vault, because then I will be able to get them made into some armor or even weapons, maybe they would be very useful." I concluded my explanation and gave her a pleading look that usually worked.

"Sure, I'll go with you, but also starting next month I have to go back to work you know? So we will have less time to train, but don't worry I will leave you a complete guide to exercising that you will follow through with, you and all of us, we are all different from most ponies, we need specialized training because what a normal pony may find challenging... Well it just won't even warm us up, I still remember my first time when I was learning how to fight, my instructor was extremely surprised when I overpowered her easily, and now... We are all so much stronger, don't forget that son." She agreed to help me, I felt so happy I could dance!

"Thank youuu! I promise I won't.
Now, after breakfast, shall we go to the blacksmith? Any one you recommend? Remember this metal disrupts spells that come into contact with it, so we can't get a unicorn blacksmith, usually they would just heat the metal with magic, but we need an old school one, traditional method with no magic involved." I explain, and start eating with gusto, grabbing both a good portion of fruit and cream in a spoonful.

"What about that nice minotaur you bought my sword from? He used a regular forge, but he was a bit on the pricey side, we need to bring a lot of bits, let's go deliver the ore and ask for a price estimate, then I'll go and get the bits, don't worry I know you can pay too, but let me do this okay? I have more than I'll never know what to do with." She offers with a kind tone to pay for the refining.

"I... I don't want to have you spend your money on me, but it's fine maybe I'll make it up to you later, it's more convenient than carrying the bits from here and hang to restock the bits we keep here for when it's needed."

"Mhm, just enjoy breakfast and then let's go take up that chest full of ore, I can carry it on my back but you'll need to get down there and bring it up." I nodded eagerly and kept eating, having my fill with a grin on my face, the flavor of everything mixed in each bite felt perfect.

In a few more minutes I was done, I got up and brought out all the dishes I got dirty, including mom's own empty bowl for fruit salad and took them to the sink to wash.

Five minutes later I was ready, while mom waited by the couch where she looked at the two ponies sleeping peacefully, the look she gave them was of pure love and adoration.

It was clear to me that she is happy now, that loneliness and frustration she felt before, that I knew she felt, it was gone after she met dad, and while I couldn't feel her emotions anymore though the link because I disabled that function, it still was clear just by seeing her face that she definitively loved this two ponies.

Despite the jokes and teasing, I'm happy that she is getting laid so much now, was it weird? My childish side would be grossed out or annoyed and that's what I pretended to be when I they were too open about it, but deep down I knew that sex is one of the requirements for an adult's happiness and both mental and physical health.

'You know? I'm very glad you found a herd momma, I'm glad you now have what I can't give you, a full happy family and not just a little lizard son, a husband, a... wife? I don't even know what she would be called but you two are definitively not straight~' I giggled and winked at her, deciding to speak to her telekinetically instead of directly, because this topic was sort of private.

She raised her eyebrows at me first, confused by my sudden telepathic words, before it turned into a warm expression then she stared chuckling at my last comment. 'Thank you! You aren't just a lizard, you're my special lizard, and yes I admit I'm definitely not a heterosexual lady now, I think I'm pansexual, or bisexual, I've read on this topic before, when you told me you believed you were too, I guess... We have that in common too, huh?'

'I guess I never thought about it before but that's very true! However im not sure because I lack experience, you however..." I answered with a unsure frown, but then changed the subject, my slight smile came back.

'Either way, you have your very own pups too, brought to this world by you and dad, it's honestly a wonderful life you've made for yourself, I couldn't be more proud of you, a commander of the Royal Guard on top of that, you've really gone places, haven't you mum?' I praised, her eyes looked at me with love and she looked proud of herself too, but she had a slight blush on her face at the praise, bit used to being told how much of a good girl she is, or maybe it's not often used in this context...

'You're the best mom I could have ever hoped to get found and rescued by, just wanted to remind you again, how much I love you and how much I appreciate everything you do, I really like you."
I walked over in front of her, looked up to her eyes and moved forward, giving her entire snout a long lick with my snake like tongue, it started with one small playful lick and turned into a game of who can cover the other's face in saliva first, this making both of us laugh while we fought for the first place, she returned the gesture and quickly she was winning because of her unfairly large tongue and even tho out tongues did touch, I didn't care, it was a game and I lost fair and square.

I love her so much, under much different circumstances maybe we would have been something different, of course that was just a what if, I was just a small pre teen while she was over twice my age.

It was nothing but a passing thought, and yet I will always love her unconditionally, my beautiful wolf mom, she kept me grounded and kept me from doing anything too stupid.

I owed her my life for what she did for me many times, all she did and does for me everyday.

'You will always have me, Onyx, your scales shine like moonlight reflecting off a lake in a clear starry sky, you also remind me of home, you feel like home, with your frosty and cold powers and body, even if I'm traveling to another country it feels like I always bring a portion of the boreal forests I spent most of my life in, thank you for what you said, and I really do like you back, my precious silver knight!' She spoke telepathically and nuzzled the top of my head, I closed my eyes and sighed contently, enjoying her words in my mind, the honest and kind compliments.

'And when I say that I mean it as serious as I've ever been, your scales shine like pristine silver made into a very beautiful set of armor, not to mention your eyes and face that give you a charming and adorable look that would melt even the coldest heart with just a single pout or one of those hurt looks you give me when you want something, such an adorable young dragon you are!' She continued and pulled me into a hug, sitting down in front of me, I didn't expect a hug now, but I gladly took it.

'It makes me want to snug you and keep you safe and happy, but I know you're not the same hatchling you were when we met, you've grown quite a bit and I do my best to respect that, to try to use a more appropriate way to show affection without embarrassing you in front of your friends and potential mates, you'll keep growing too I bet, and I'll definitively make a big party for you when you become an adult.' I could say the same for her, an adorable and smoochable snout and very strong and muscular body, I admit that the thought of being with a lady who could protect me from anything was really appealing, I hope she thought that me blushing was because of her compliments, and not my own thoughts.

'I can't wait to see what you will look like in five or so years, but even if you look the same, you know how I feel now, don't forget Onyx! Now we better get going before they wake up, I'll wait for you by the door.' She concluded, before she pointed me towards where my hoard was stored.

She gestured me to go into the vault, and I headed to it and opened the locked door using the key, then opened it carefully, making sure to not drop the heavy door, and once it was open, and the door was locked to the open position, I went down the ladder and looked into the basement, where all the armor was haphazardly stacked in a corner, and the large chest of ore was, next to the fancy enchanted golden chest that had all my bits.

I decided to levitate it, very carefully after me, of course I was not such a big of an idiot to lift the chest above my head, i lifted it once I was up the ladder at ground level.

I kept the chest closed with my telekinetic field, having to lift it sideways to make it fit through the door, it was pretty heavy, but for me it was pretty much nothing, I could levitate about at least 7 more chests, maybe more, by my estimations, it was after all, much easier to lift inanimate objects than it was to pin down struggling soldiers during battle.

After coming out and the chest being free, I unlocked, lowered and closed the vault door slowly with my paws, then locked it right up.

The chest weights 200 kilograms, I could tell instinctively, the weight of the ore combined with the thick and sturdy wooden chest.

I could easily lift it off the ground but the problem was how large the chest is, leverage when you are smaller than the average adult pony, is very important, no matter how strong you are, if the weight of something is going to overcome your weight and just pull you down and make you fall on your head or sideways... It was very annoying.

'You want to try carrying it on your back? Have in mind it's going to be a bit rough to keep it balanced, I'll keep my telekinesis on it to keep it centered and keep any of the ore from falling off.' I walked to the door with the chest levitating next to me, I gave her a concerned look, waiting for her answer.

'Yeah that's a good plan, don't be afraid of helping me balance, I'm not used to carry something so heavy and that could spill over if we aren't careful, okay let's go, I'll lock the doors, did you close the vault?' I nod, giving her a thumbs up.

'Yes I did ma'am, wouldn't want anyone to fall down there by accident. Well, lead the way and let's go, it's on the same district the market is at, right?' I asked while we walked outside, closing and licking the door behind us.

"That's right, now that we are outside we can go back to talking out loud, but yes we are going to the artisans district, right next to the markets."

A 10 minute walk later.

I made sure to keep the chest held aloft as if it was laying fully on her back, but of course she was taking none of the weight, at least almost none, and while the indigo glow around it was somewhat telling, during the day it wasn't as easy to spot.

We came up to the blacksmith, a middle aged minotaur with black and white fur, with a body that certainly fit the profile of a hard working blacksmith, he was clearly not forging at the moment, instead he was sitting behind the desk, sharpening a blade with a whetstone.

It was a large knife, looking more like kitchen knife.

We walked over to him and entered his shop, the door's bell ringed, causing him to leave his knife to the side and get up to look at us, smile appeared on his face, it was small but it was there.

"Welcome to Blacksteel Forge dear costumers, ah, I recognize the two of you, you bought one of my steel longswords before, haven't you? Its good to see you again, you must be Commander Sylf, I've heard of your promotion, you are well known amongst the guard, and they are usually my costumers too, after all many ponies enjoy the thrill of owning extra weapons and armor once they get a taste of it at their jobs." He politely greet us, as we approach to the desk, mom gets close and greets the minotaur with a polite nod, while I approach and offer my claw in greeting, standing on two legs, making me reach a bit closer to his height, although not very close.

"And you must be the young dragon who was with her, you've grown well, nice to meet you, what's your name little one?" I smile back at him, not minding he calling me little, I was after all small compared to him.

He shakes my paw gently and gives mom a polite nod in return.

"I'm Onyx, how are you mister? And what was your name again? I forgot since last time was years ago, and to answer your question, we did buy a longsword from here, very good quality I must say." I answer in a neutral voice, trying to get the pleasantries out of the way.

"I'm Black Hammer, this place, I honestly am not very creative with names, so I just named it after myself, im very happy that my sword survived so well, but alright you two, tell me what can this taur help you both with? Does it perhaps have to do with that huge chest in your back, miss Sylf?" The minotaur asked with a curious and friendly tone, clearly not wanting to rush us, just very curious himself.

I knew that feeling all too well, getting impatient was annoying when you wanted something soon and it couldn't happen.

"Indeed, this chest is full of a metal I would really love for you to smelt and purify it the best you can, I want as close as possible to 100% purity, you will be working with Mithral ore, I need to get an estimate price for the 193 kilograms of ore on the chest." She spoke with confidence, looking expectantly at the minotaur.

"You really have Mithral ore?! Yes of course I'll work on it, it's an amazing metal, rarely found on large amounts, can I see? Drop it on the desk, it's sturdy enough to hold, trust me." A smile formed on the minotaurs face, his eyes transfixed on the chest.

Sylf gave me a look, so I moved the chest on my indigo telekinesis and placed it carefully on the desk, it held as promised, seems it was made very sturdy like he mentioned.

The minotaur smile widened as he opened the chest, taking off a few of the ores and examining them carefully. "Definitively Mithral ore, good quality too, I can tell it's mostly pure... But I will need to do more tests before I can determine its purity, do you want me to work with this? You want me to turn it into Mithril ingots right?"

"I want that yes, do you have a price estimate for me, mister Hammer?"

"For this amount... I think 10 thousand bits would be fair, I'm charging you slightly over 50 bits per kilogram, and this metal is worth around twenty times that amount, so you would be making a large profit, do we have a deal?" He finally asks after doing some calculations in his mind, from the looks of it, if he was right, he was charging us a decent amount of bits, but not too much.

It was about the monthly salary of a citizen of Canterlot, in other places like Ponyville, the salary was around 3000 bits, but here it was much higher because everything was just more expensive.

'Thats a good price, if the metal is worth as much as he says, then its amazing, we should take the deal, don't you agree?' I say telepathically to her, i didn't want to make it seem like i was giving mom orders in public, even if it was my recommendation.

"I'll take it, thank you for the deal sir, do I have to give any extra information up?"

"You will need to sign some papers declaring where you got the ore from, the permits for mining it and all that." Uh oh... I'm pretty sure we don't have any licenses to mine, but it was outside of Equestrian so, it shouldn't be an issue.

"The mineral was obtained outside of Equestria mister, in another nation where I mined it from, with the permission of the locals, of course, I don't need a permission to mine outside the nation, do I?" Sylf asked with a raised eyebrow, giving the minotaur an unsure look.

"Hmm... if you have obtained it outside of Equestria, then you will need a written permission by government officials that you mined it with their knowledge, you need to have someone there verify that you did not illegally mine the ore after all, stealing is a crime in every nation, and mining from somewhere even outside Equestria is surely a crime on that place, I can process the ore, and I can wait for you to get said paperwork, but you will need the paperwork signed and stamped from said nation, before I can give you the Mithril Ingots, if you wish to take the chest, I won't stop you however, I will need to report you to the guard, but I definitively won't be in a rush about it." I snorted angrily, huffing out frost breath from my nose, I was tempted to curse him out and take my stuff back.

But the rational part of my mind stopped me, I know king Treble, i could just go back and have him sign a permit for me, and one also signed by the Captain, in case the transfer of power was not formalized or news about the new king had not reached Equestria just yet.

'Just... let him do it, ill talk to Treble and get the permit by the time its ready, I can teleport to Griffonstone, no sense in getting in trouble with the guard, its important for you to keep your job after all, if you lose it, you'll lose the house, and it will take us back to square one... its definitively worth keeping all of that, I got used to the cozy city life.' I mentally asked her, giving her a look of worry with a frown.

"I will get those permits, I wasn't aware this was a problem, but rest assured Mr. Hammer, that I will come back with the necessary documents, how long do you predict it will take for you to complete this order?" I sighed, at least she realized the trouble we would be in if we took off.

"Come back in about a week, by then everything will be ready, it's a lot of metal to smelt and form, and this is similar to steel so it takes a lot of heat to get just right, I'm glad you decided to do the right thing, I know it sounds harsh to report you, but it's the law and if I am caught not following the law, my store will be closed, there is a zero tolerance policy for jobs that deal with making of weapons and armor, we aren't supposed to even process metal without a clear and concise source of those metals, i can't take illegally mined ore or anything like that, it would get me in huge trouble with the Crown, sorry." He gives us an apologetic look, before lifting the chest full of ore with almost no effort, carrying it over one shoulder because of his large size, it's like nothing to him.

"I understand perfectly, don't worry, by next week we will have those documents ready, do you have anything to add son?" She turns to me, giving me a questioning look.

"No, not really, let's just go home, bye mister Hammer! I hope the ingots fit nicely on the chest. We will be back with the permit." And with that I teleported both of us home, leaving a dumfounded minotaur behind, who after a few seconds just shrugged and went to work.

Once back home, I got a small glare from mom. "A little warning would have been nice, but I don't blame you, I was pretty pissed off too, having to get a permit to mine? Having to declare and get permission from another country? This is just a way to keep those opposing Celestia in check, to keep them from having too much power, that way only the royal guard has weapons and armor."

"While everyone else has regular weapons and all registered so the government can keep track of who owns what, and therefore how dangerous they are if they suddenly aren't on the side of the law... I think I deserve to have whatever I want, there is no way I'll ever register any of my weapons or pay stupid taxes and permits to anything I do." I continue her sentence, growling angrily and stomping my paw in the ground, of course outside the teleportation circle, I would want to scuff the paint.

I puff out frost from my nose, then calm down.

"And I can keep anything I don't want found out in my inventory, and no matter how strong Celestia or any of they are, they can't access my inventory at least... Not while I'm alive, if I die I have no idea what would happen to it, and I'm not exactly thrilled to find out." I shake my head, blowing out a cloud of supercooled air to the ceiling.

"I refuse to follow this ridiculous laws, fuck the Crown and it's laws, and if they want to force me to register my gu- swords, and keep me from getting my armor and weapons made, I'll just move to a different country with different laws, even if temporarily, and have it done there, then I can keep all of my things on my inventory, and no mom you should not quit the guard, you're making a lot of bits there and you are getting promoted, you may even get the rank of Captain or even General, wouldn't that be amazing?" It feels great to speak up about my feelings, but I wanted to make sure mom knew it was only behind closed doors, and I didn't want her to get into trouble.

I didn't really hate Celestia, it was more of a 'fuck the law's kind of way, I would actually like to meet with her and have another talk, to thank her and motivate her to do better, still that didn't meant that I liked every law of her.

I would gladly break the law, if y means I get to live however I want, if I couldn't break it then I would bend it as far as it goes.

"You can do whatever you want son, as long as you don't get caught! With exceptions of course... But I know you wouldn't go be cruel for no reason, just... don't do anything too bad in view of anyone and it should be fine. For the sake of the twins if anything, do you really want to leave them without an older brother?" She asked in soft but serious tone.

I blinked, not having realized that breaking the law and getting in trouble would mean I would be separated of my adorable little siblings, as well as my friends and it would surely taint the view my friends had of me.

I was being a bit stupid, I should definitively keep anything not legal I do, strictly secret.

I had already broken the law in a very serious way by stealing books from the restricted section of the library, reading them and not to mention using a highly forbidden necromantic spell, I mean all necromancy was forbidden, but that spell was specially powerful and nasty, thankfully nobody saw me fighting that monster except for dad of course.

"Fiiiine mom I will try to keep out of trouble, for the twins and my future in school, I want to get a degree in magical theory and enchanting if I can, but for now I need to learn to apply enchantments, I know theory well enough but I really lack practice and skill..." I sigh and walk to the desk in the corner of the room, sitting down and preparing to do some enchanting.

"Good pup, now relax, focus on learning as much as you can from Equestrian schools and academies, and then, once you're old enough, you're free to do whatever you want, go wherever you want to and follow whatever rules you believe in, now I'll let you get to practicing what you wanted, I'll go make lunch meanwhile, I'll come give you a portion when it's done, okay?" She answered and a warm smile and moved beside me to nuzzle my neck, before leaving for the kitchen.

After that I could concentrate fully on the task at hand, enchantment.

Enchanting was a very meticulous process, it took precision both in terms of the engravings, as well as the use of specific runes, each rune did some action associated with it, usually spells were a combination of more than one rune, but it was possible to have a short spell, usually a cantrip with one rune or two.

Enchantments were usually one rune to represent each concept you wanted to imprint magically on the item you were enchanting, Sylf's sword was around my fifth attempt at enchanting, her sword, was the first successful enchanting experiment, it was a rune of toughness for the metal, making the blade sharper and less likely to bend or break, it was, all in all a very simple enchantment job that I was able to just copy from the book and do, I feel like anyone who tried and had decent pulse and basic knowledge of runic magic could enchant one rune.

Now I was trying to do two runes, something a bit more complicated when it came to engraving and powering the enchantment, I decided to use something simple at first, a ceramic cup.

My ceramic cup, I engraved two runes upon it, the first one was to make the contents inside the cup colder, the other to make them hotter, within a certain range of temperature, I have a small diamond tipped pen to engrave very gently on the ceramic, being very gentle to not accidentally press too hard on the cup and break it.

The runes for this are easy, both commonly used runes for everyday magical devices in the kitchen, but usually devices like this only did one thing, either heat something or cool something, like a fridge.

Fridges here of course were magical, but they still were very well insulated to make the magical consumption extremely minimal, I knew how to make a fridge, at least the magical theory behind it, and how to make almost any every day object at this point.

Once the engraving was done, I painted over the runes with the gem paste using a tiny and very fine brush, once the two runes were done, I smiled and left the cup on its side so the paste would dry, I waited a few minutes and then started to pour energy into the runes, empowering enough to finish the enchantment, and also charging it.

It did not explode or crack, the runes started to glow faintly, it's a success! "Yaay! I'm not as bad as I though I would be! Now... To try it." I smiled and headed down to my room and into the bathroom where I filled the cup with water.

I headed back to the third floor, and touched the rune, it lit up bright for a second, I chose the heating option.

In a few seconds, the simple rune did it's job, quickly heating up the water to the desired temperature and not even a degree warmer or colder, then the light turned off. I submerged one of my fingers slightly into the cup, wincing at the very hot water before pulling it out. "Ow, it definitively works to warm water up... now to test the cold." I spoke softly to myself, then pressed the other button.

This was why enchantments were so amazing, you could be anyone and still use them, even a creature unable to use magic or cast a spell could use them as long as the enchantment had charge. As touching the rune like a touchscreen made it activate because it reacted to the creature's natural magical signature, and everything in this universe had a magical signature, sort of an aura or identifying energy, that's how some spells were even able to work, like the spell to locate someone.

It was always better to enchant something that had a gem embedded in it, than enchanting something using engraving, and if not a gem, then a material able to store and release large amounts of mana, gems and to some extent, metals were able to do this, but gems were objectively superior, and both could be used in conjunction to improve enchantments of various things.

The water was cold, but not frozen, as I stuck my tongue into it to test it, yes I risked it because I trust my abilities, to a degree.

I smiled as my ideas for enchantment were expanded, what if I could make the couch automatically cool down or warm up too? Or... Animated armor that could guard my treasure! Animated armor... Thinking about it again, it sounds like a terrible idea, I have no idea how to make runes that recognize friend or foe, usually that part works on a spell by simple intent and power of will, but enchantments lack that, they simply do what they are enchanted to do.

I theorized the armor would recognize the creator thanks to my magical signature being the same of what makes it, but how to make it recognize anyone else? That I couldn't answer yet.

Would I set a possibly deadly contraption that is a risk to everyone, even my own family or friends? Hell no!

Unless I learn more about how this branch of magic, but for now I'd rather not risk killing someone.
Animated armor was a possibility to try in the future, if anything as a proof of concept once I had obtained enough knowledge and skill in the field.

Getting back to the present, I had a few things to practice on, things like glasses and cups, plates, even kitchen knives and everyday things that were cheap and easy to replace if they broke during the process, and if I managed to improve to the point I could do super tiny engravings, I will definitively make enchanted jewelery, something that was extremely useful to have on, it made for both stylish fashion and a powerful protective or offensive increase in power.

I smirked to myself, its time to get good at it, and nothing makes one better at something than practice and more practice.

So I started to practice, using everyday objects until I got the hang of things, I spent the rest of the day practicing, spending a lot of gem paste, but using only low quality stuff, just to test if enchantments worked, some did and some didn't, by the end I had gained a lot of knowledge about many aspects of enchanting, as well as practice engraving smaller and smaller runes.

It was a very productive day.

Thank you for reading! And sorry for the delays lately.
