Chrones sat by the river.
The small wolf held a lange stick in his mouth. It was about five inches taller than Chrones, but he thought it was perfect.
Perfect for what, though?
A staff, of course. Chrones was preparing the stick to become a staff, like the big magicians used. Every day, he dreamed of using the staff to defeat the Aurora Caeli Alliance's enemies without using up any of his energy. It would make his fellow pack members proud, he hoped, and he really wanted to please them.
Anyway, Chrones laid his staff down by the water and started carving. By gnawing on the stick, he made it smooth and perfect for a wolf to hold in its jaws. After shaping it smooth, he made the bottom flat and turned it around, to carve the top. He started gnawing a shape out of the top, that kind of looked like a wolf's head. He kept gnawing and gnawing, until the top was a almost-perfect wolf head with lots of detail. Only thing that was missing were the eyes. He had carved two holes for eyes, but they were empty. Those were where the gems would go. But that would be the last touch.
Chrones turned the staff around again and started carving designs on the side of the staff. These designs were hieroglyphics. They had to be done very carefully, and they took a long time. But at long last, the 'glyphs were done. Chrones felt proud. He grabbed the staff in his jaws very carefully and set off to dig for gems.
