A week quickly passed, and Liam hadn't exited his basement in that period, cultivating, inscribing, forging.
Littered all around him were failed inscribed blades, broken pieces of Owl bones and other materials.
Liam had a crazed smile and a bloodshot eye as he inspected a silver dagger with his blood inscriptions on it.
It was an actual success.
The blood writings on the blade glowed with interchanging red, orange and yellow.
The glow was constant, and there was no weak flickering that disrupted the light it exuded.
Liam was on his 27th dagger when the damn thing finally started working.
'Do I go to Richard and get the rewards for it? It's 10K Stones, after all…' Liam pursed his lips.
'Probably best not to. There's enough attention on me as is. I can make that money fairly quick anyway.'
Then, Liam moved to inspect his latest forged item, the Owl Dagger.
