my whole life is mine, but whoever says so will deprive me,
for it is infinite.
The three Ascended worked mostly in silence, except for Nate’s response, the sound of metal hitting stone, and the sound of Bastien’s brush moving across the wall. Unfortunately, Amun's efforts were insufficient this time, failing to secure any suitable rocks. That didn't matter, though, because Nate managed to pry out the last stone they needed for a crude, but working altar.
Bastien's painting would go much more smoothly this time. He managed to turn the mess into the mottled blue and white pattern he'd been striving for. Amun nodded approvingly as he set his pickaxe down. "Let's move these stones into place. It'll probably take all three of us to put the top of the altar on. Nate, can you get the other half of the base?" That being said, the potter carefully lifted the rock for the base he'd carved out. It was heavy, and with his prosthetic unwieldy, but he somehow managed to stumble it into place.
Then he walked over to the big stone and waited for the other two men. Once they were there, he'd tell them to lift on three, and try to carry the top of the altar over.
Amun fails!
Bastien succeeds!
Nate succeeds! They now have all the stone they need to set up the altar.
No post order!

by being moved I exert my empire,
making the dreams of night real
