Chapter 221 The Charm Crafters (1/2)

”Kit?” asked Olly from the other work bench, ”How big was that Rensmitt order again?”

Kit deactivated the Light Tool in his hand and flipped up his dark tinted goggles as he turned to look at Olly, ”Ten each of the truth and protection charms, a lock set and a Clarity charm as well”.

Olly ruffled his hair, it was getting too long. He'd need to cut it soon, it Kit could draw him out of the Charm Crafting Warehouse for long enough. Maybe he'd just have to bring the scissors in here. That'd probably work better.

”Still need two truth and a Clarity charm then,” Olly said as he counted what was on the bench in front of him.

”I'm doing the Clarity now,” Kit replied as he flipped his goggles back down and turned back to his work.

”I'll get the truth then,” Olly spoke and Kit sensed it as he wondered off towards the crates of untouched Evanine to the side.

Kit activated the Light Tool again, moving the concentrated light in the elegant swirls of the clarity rune. He liked doing the clarity runes, they always made him feel refreshed and invigorated after he finished them. Sure enough, the familiar coolness cleared his over-worked mind as he put down the Light Tool, moving over to Olly's bench to put the Clarity Charm among the others in the order.

Over the past year and a half, Olly and Kit had been steadily getting busier and busier, to the point where they barely left the Warehouse, working nearly dawn to dusk every day to create the charms that had been ordered from the main shops on Rouke Island. Not only did they need to keep up with regular stock, an order of nearly six hundred charms per type, per week, but also any specialised orders that came in. Some were just of larger sized charms that contained more power, but others were charms that were inlaid into jewelry or other accessories. The Rensmitt order was one of these, the protection and truth charms having been styled to fit into specially fashioned belts to be worn under the clothing of regular shop attendants.

Luckily, Olly and Kit didn't have to also fashion the jewelry. Their only job was to carve the charms. Any stylized orders were dealt with in the warehouse next to theirs by the ten or so craftsman of varying professions. They'd been specially trained so that when they were inlaying the charms into the appropriate accessories, they didn't activate the Mist within then. Kit and Olly had tried to work in the opposing order for a few months, but it proved to be too difficult to carve the runes into the evanine without damaging the rest of the piece. Hence, they'd switched the order in which they did the work.

Kit moved to the side as Olly proceeded to carve the truth charms. Despite Kit technically being the teacher, Olly had picked up the art of carving the charms much faster than Kit. He was also twice as fast. Kit had been annoyed at first, having Olly surpass him in the job that Kit had been given originally was a bit of a blow to his confidence. But Kit had quickly gotten over it. Olly may have been excellent at carving the charms, but he had no desire to do much else regarding the business. Kit was the one that took in the orders and made sure they were on track. He was also the one that made sure Olly took breaks to sleep and eat. At first it had been a pain seeing how much bigger Olly was compared to him. After Kit had had quite the rapid growth spurt however, it had become somewhat easier. He was still shorter than Olly by about a head, coming up to his shoulders, but it was better than coming up to his chest.

Olly put down the completed truth charms and looked at Kit, ”What's next?”

”Lunch,” Kit said as he took the Light Tool out of Olly's hand and put it on the bench before steering him out of the warehouse, ”Go and get something to eat, I'll join you after I drop off this order”.
