It's the job that's never started
While Iskra focuses on loading the pulley and Thorn heads up to lay the bricks, Zavien rolls up his sleeves and gets to pulling, assisting a group of workers in dragging the supplies to the top every few minutes. Without the help of the other people, he might have lost the skin on his hands when his grip weakened, the weight threatening to carry his palms with it. Luckily, the group of men keep the rope steady, working together to ensure they ease the rope appropriately.
For Iskra, he'll slowly be able to tell that the top is drawing near based on the decreasing supplies they draw from. Bricks and mortar begin to dwindle, a sign of the end that has more than a few people brightening with anticipation. Even the people working around Hawthorn can sense it, the count of floors approaching their predetermined goal. They smile a little more, laugh a little freer, and work a little faster. Some even pause to wave at the people below, already tasting the victory of the moment.
The last few days feel different, lighter and happier than before as the end draws near, and when the morning comes to work on the top floor, Zavien is grinning so wide that his face might burst in half. "We're almost done! Last push! Let's get this floor done then top it off with a spire that touches the sky!"
Two more rounds!
Lay the bricks on the TOP FLOOR!!!
