full moon rising on the waters of my soul
Delphia, thankfully, started cleaning up properly and Amun gave her an approving nod, a brilliant smile, and a wink for her efforts. This time, Oliver’s much more cautious building techniques would work out, and the stones would stay in place. For the Ascended’s part, he was still hard at work on the wheel. He placed another board on top of the two upright ones and hammered it in. Then he laid another one so that it was supported by the upright board in the middle and the plank he’d just secured.
The end of this latest board jutted out to the bottom of the frame. Taking a knife, he picked up a wooden pole that he’d scrounged up for just this purpose. Placing the pole on the end of the board, the potter carved a circle into the wood around the circumference of the pole. Then he carefully cut a hole into the plank.
Settling the knife aside, he picked up a sheet of wood. He carved three perfect circles into it, then three discs of wood. He used the pole to to put a hole in two of the discs, then slid the pole through it. Lashing it to the disc with a length of cord, he hammered the disc that had no hole onto the one, then stood up.
”Could I get both of your help over here.” Walking over to the frame, he stood, unused disc and cord in one hand, pole in the other. ”I’m going to slide this through the hole in the frame. Could one of you hold the final disc steady at the bottom while the other lashes it to the pole? I need the disc to be flat and off the ground.” He held out the disc and the cord to whoever was doing each task, before sliding the end of the pole into the frame.
No post order! Whoever posts nexts will steady the disc and the other person will secure it.
