CH701 SunHeart Rune Tattoo I
***
Beads of sweat rolled down Alex's temples, tracing along his jaw before threatening to drip directly onto the Rune Scroll upon which he was painstakingly working.
Fortunately, each time it happened, Alex reacted quickly enough to wipe the sweat away with the sleeve of his robe before it could ruin the inscription.
Not once did his concentration falter as he completed yet another gruelling thirty-minute session of Emotional Energy inscription.
Thirty minutes of work… followed by three entire hours of rest simply to recover from the resulting mental exhaustion.
Step by painstaking step, Alex slowly progressed towards completing an extraordinarily complex Rune Tattoo—one that had not been designed for a human, nor even an animal… but for a plant. A young shoot, no less.
Truthfully, he was not even entirely certain that what he was creating could still properly be called a 'tattoo'.
Still, this detail hardly mattered.
