He went to the factory. They already had one hot bush growing in a garden that Naitra set up. He took a piece and broke it off. He then proceeded to use the tool on the small twig.It seared in a small array of the script. He used the stick to produce a flame. It wasn"t very powerful. It had the equivalent strength that his zippo, which was exactly what he wanted. He noticed a slight drawback. The tip had carbonized slightly. It seemed that the hot bush was slightly susceptible to excess heat, but this allowed customers to come back.
He looked for one of the people who were busy helping to build the factory. He was a bit scrawnier than most of the Dracana males, but he had a lot of determination to want to help.
Annixon had been keeping an eye on the lad for some time now. Apparently, a twelve-year-old kid that just wanted to help his father.
His name was Benjamin but people called him Benji. He had two white horns that were surprisingly unusual for a Dracana. Apparently, his mother was an elf. When he found out about that he was quite surprised. It meant that in this world your species didn"t matter unless you"re an undead of course.
He also had white hair, but always preferred wearing black. His eyes were green and his hair white and long, giving him a feministic appeal.
The reason Annixon liked him was due to his underdog hardworking nature. He always was busy trying to prove that he was just as tough as other kids his age, if not more.
Annixon could see through the façade though. He knew the kid wasn"t on the same physical level as other kids his age, but something did stand out from him. He had excellent magical potential according to Maania who taught rudimentary magic. He was with the school as well.
The kid went ridged when he saw Annixon looking at him. Annixon beckoned him over. The kid walked over in an almost robot-like fashion. When he stood in front of Annixon he made an incredibly deep forward bow, "What do you wish of me, Master Bright!?"
"Relax kid, I don"t bite. I need your help to think you can do it?"
A tear started to form to the side of his head, "I will do my one hundred thousand percent best!"
"A tad excessive. Miss Maania told me you have a talent for magic?"
"She did? I mean, of course, she did. I am good at magic, very good! Like the best! She is also very pretty."
"And a bit old for you. Like forty-four years too old for you, but if you think you can have her, by all means, try your best."
He looked down dejectedly, "I did ask her out. She laughed and said I was too young and that she already had someone else…"
"Did she now…mmm I wonder who that could be?" This was said out of genuine curiosity.
"She said he was courageous and fearless staring down even an undead beast. I kind of lost track after that but I also heard things like dreamy and awesome."
Annixon raised an eyebrow to that, "Ah, well. It"s probably just a little crush. In any case."
He demonstrated what he wanted him to do, "Think you can handle that? Now, remember, do not use the entire bush and leave the base of the bush alone. Got it?"
He saluted, "Aye, aye sir. I won"t let you down!"
"I know you won"t, kid. Now, hop to it. I will even give you some money for doing it for me."
"Really!? My mom is going to be so happy. We might even get some sweet rolls. I like sweet rolls."
He patted him on the head and left him to it.
Afterward, he went over to Athena who was busy training some fresh recruits. Annixon stood in the shadow of a nearby tree.
Athena noticed him and smiled, "Alrighty people, keep doing that for now. I just need to see some business quickly."
She ran over and hugged Annixon. It was a surprise but not an unwanted one, "I need an escort. I was going to ask you but I see you are in the middle of something."
"This? It"s but a simple hobby. I will be more than glad to escort you. Just hang on a sec."
She went back to the group, "Change of plans maggots. You are to do thirty laps around the field and then you are dismissed. That will be all."
She went back to Annixon, "Well that"s sorted. So where are you off to?"
"It"s not far from here. I just need to make a quick pit stop then we will be on our way."
They made their way back to D"verg. He almost became hostile when he saw Annixon, "What the h.e.l.l do you want this time."
"Relax, just here for some mining equipment and this." He gave him a piece of paper that had a drawing of a cylindrical container, "I will be needing this for a refinement process I had in mind. I will also be needing something like a bath and some pipes. Think you can do that?"

"I knew it! I will need access to the factory ground for this."
"You said that you had the roller up and running and you already had some plate. Use that plate to separate the bath into two areas. Take some cloth and coat it with tar on one side then tightly wrap it over the bath. I will be back before you know it."
"You leave all the work to me and you get to play. Where is the justice in that?"
"You are one of my most trusted people. Whether you like it or not, you are a part of the Alliance now. If we want freedom. I have to delegate, unfortunately. I promise I will help you when I can."
D"verg waved it off, "Take your time. I know what you are trying to do, but this all work no play. It"s rather unhealthy."
Athena chipped in, "That is what we have been trying to tell him all this time. We were just glad he listened to us when he was hurt."
"I don"t think the Marina Family is going to wait, do you?"
"I not all that good with politics."
"Be glad you aren"t."
(Author note: Sorry for this being the final chapter for the foreseeable future. I am busy with another novel(Welcome to Arcana). I will comeback to this eventually.)
