Another day at the edge of the forbidden forest and another day of smoothing her Gandr. Ella was really liking the way it was coming out and she smiled to herself as she picked it up, green eyes wandering from the wand up to the Yew tree. "Hello again!" They were old friends now, Ella and Yew.

Taking a seat on the forest floor, the blonde then began the familiar task of humming and smoothing the surface to perfect the shape of her Gandr. It felt quite nice in her hands and she couldn't help but think she was nearly done. Besides, the moon cycle was nearly finished. That meant that she could start carving runes on the Gandr soon! This was exciting news. Carving the runes was Ella's favorite part and she was getting pretty good at it, the carving thing.

...

After a while, Ella decided she'd done enough smoothing and she placed her Gandr down again carefully. Was there a such thing as overworking the wood? She didn't want to do that. "Alright, that's it for today." Rest easy, Gandr.
