《The not-immortal Blacksmith》77 The Not-Immortal blacksmith – A Farmer makes a Barn

My Dell, the real Western Wilds.
25th of Kielat, first month of summer,
2138 years since the new gods came.
The long, low shop building is done. Around 100' long, 20' wide, and 12' tall. The front wall can be opened fully in several places. I should have learned carpentry. My woodworking skills are all tangential to the rest of my training. Grrr.
The next week will be spent making a proper barn, as opposed to the pair of sheds I currently have. The stupid turkeys are trying to roost on the house. I need to make a coop for them as well. ...they remind me of Tranquility.
*-*-*
On the celestial plane, the goddess of Tranquility sneezed, then continued talking to the news stand man.

29th of Kielat,
The foundation is done. The goats keep leading the sheep out of the corral. I am going to butcher the lot of them.
30th of Kielat,
I am going to need more wood. It also looks like I'm going to need to head back to town for more supplies. Magic combat sickle does not work well for actual harvesting. Wrong curve on the blade.
34th of Kielat,
Ingots of iron are expensive out here. I will need to locate a vein. Or search through the crate. I suppose I need to empty it anyway.
36th of Kielat,
Where did this candelabra come from?
*-*-*
“Where the hell did I get you?” Max asked the golden, jewel encrusted candelabra, covered with strange glyphs. It didn't answer. Meh. Stupid thing, I'll think about it later.
*-*-*
37th of Kielat,
The idiots temple in Sleetpoint! That's where I stole it!
38th of Kielat,
I'm a lumberjack. It's an okay profession. I work all day cutting down trees, and sleep like a log all night.

Brandy and Dog are having a fun time with the sheep and goats.
41st of Kielat,
Barn raising by yourself is such a pain. I'm having to use spells to keep pieces in place.
42nd of Kielat,
It fell down. Not all of it, but most of it. Stupid lack of carpentry skills. I wonder if Bjorn knows how to build a barn from scratch?
45th of Kielat,
Bjorn stopped by today on his way west. Apparently there is another continent! Full of other peoples! Minotaurs, lizard folk, and other such fantastical people! Maybe someday I will go there.
He laughed about the barn. Asshole. Said that maybe he would send help later if I didn't figure it out. I suppose I could just grow one?
48th of Kielat,
The barn has been grown. Idiot of the elves didn't even show up. That is weird. He always has in the past. I'm still making one the proper way. It is just farther down the list now.

The Necromancer King
((Hiatus.))(First fantasy story.)Someone told me to write a fantasy story so here it is.A dragon king was bored as it had conquered the world. There was no one to fight as he killed his enemies. No one dared revolt. He's eaten all the powerful prey on his planet. No meat can satisfy him anymore. When he sees one of his subjects atop a summoning circle, he kills the subject, assumes a demi- human form with dragon horns and accepts the call. He is weak once again as he loses all his powers, but he doesn't care. He has a new world full of enemies. He wonders how they'll taste. Being a hero? Who cares. That meant that his meal was stronger and more numerous than the allies he can't eat. He will either rule them all or eat them all as he had done once before.Warning: If you want a hero of absolute goodness, look elsewhere. The MC will do both evil and good acts. Justice is cruel and merciless and there are twisted forms of justice.
