Of Hammer and Chisel

[Kirrekith 80]

The sounds of hammer and chisels would be heard deep in the archive, though locked to those seeking knowledge the sounds would emanate from beneath the lift. To those who'd have permission they'd find deep within the study room a large block of stone was being worked upon. A dark elf stood a huge block of stone, many more similar in size from the expansion of the library.

With each landed blow the creators chisel cast away impurity, smoothing stone and carving odd symbols. Though the creator seemed to act with skill, as the blow hit a final time a curse and shout of anger left his lips, a cracked symbol all it took to make him throw the large stonework in a pile of other perfect stone, the stone smashing into the others as small off cuts fell off, littering the floor.

With the sounds of work ceasing, all that remained was the heavy panting of the creator, the dark elf scowling as he looked to his work, all he had mustered in his weeks of work, was a single set of feet for his creation, his gaze one of exhaustion and anger. Letting out a long sigh he ran his dust cover, bruised and cut hands through his bedraggled hair.

"Once more into the breach..."­ He'd murmur, with a shake of his head moving to the purestone onto the carving bench, his hands taking to the chisel and hammer once more, as he tried to perfect the shape and runes again.

((Making a Golem inside the Archive of the Dwarven Library, wanted to make a post to begin its creation and hopefully as time and roleplay progresses it will be completed. The Golem has a player in mind to play it, and so if you ask to play it I will have to say no.))
