章 119: An Unexpected Trip

Our plan took a lot longer than either of us had thought. The Memory Crystal took over two hours of work from us both, her creating it and me keeping it supported as it grew.

The crystal was twelve feet tall when it was all done, but it was very fragile to the point that the first one broke. We had started it lying down on the floor, but it collapsed as it grew, so I was forced to support it from all of its points.

"Wow!" Anya exclaimed after wiping sweat from her brow. "That was a lot harder than I assumed it would be, and I feel exhausted!"

I was naked and covered in sweat as I finished up with the supports that touched every point I could find. Then I ran smaller roots from them to connect all the other roots, creating a net over it.

I let go of a breath I had been holding for ten mins now and sucked in another one, letting it back out. The last ten minutes had been the worst, and I had to have Mr. Trees help, but I was still stretched thin.
