《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 271
Advertisement
I removed most of the muscle mass of my puppet, at this point it is almost entirely bone. Well, wood in the shape of bone, with strands of muscle like fibers connecting them together. There is just enough of those muscle like fibers to allow it to move quickly with its full range of motion, and no more. It can’t put much power behind anything, but it more than makes up for that in speed. Plus bulk costs quite a bit of mana, so I can use what I was spending on bulky muscles on things like improved utility or reinforcing the bones, if there is less space for me to armor then I need to spend less mana armoring it.
With this puppet, I did better than I did the previous two days of sparring. Which makes me think, what other extraneous things are there that I can cut out? The rib cage maybe? It’s not like there are any internal organs I need to worry about. The skull isn’t necessary either, or the neck for that matter. I could even replace the arms with weapons, if I design it right then I think I can get something able to use those weapons more effectively for less mana than I would spend on arms and a weapon. I wouldn’t have anything to block with though, so dodging would be even more important.
If I got the cost low enough would I be able to make two of them? Would two cheap ones be better than one more expensive one? I can definitely control two at once, that isn’t a question, but is it worth it? I have no idea.
Other than that I spent my downtime thinking. I found a nice creak to sit next to and just listened to the water while deep in my thoughts. It was meditative, almost. I definitely felt relaxed afterwards.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.

Blood and Gold
Having failed to manifest any attunements on the Testing day, Elias is disowned and cast out from his clan, the royal clan of the Holstein kingdom. Unwilling to stay down and to accept the clan's view of unattuned individuals having no power, Elias seeks to grasp onto and change his fate. If he can't move mountains with his fist, can't he at least move mountains of gold? Elias would show his clan and the world that even an unattuned individual is worthy of respect, even that given to the strongest. This is his journey. Darius proved his mettle and showed everyone his potential when he attuned to both the aspects of fire, the royal element, and blood. With a fast-track to general all but guaranteed, the only thing he could have hoped for was for his twin, his dearest brother, to join him by his side. Unfortunately, Elias tested as unattuned, the level that was reserved for weaklings that deserved to be cast out and trampled. Or at least, that's what the clan says. If his brother couldn't hit with the strength of a legend, didn't he just have to hit twice as hard to compensate? Darius would show the weaklings around him just what the apex of diligence and talent looked like. This is also his journey.
