At his insistence Áskell's father took the pup to a new land to explore. They'd gone to the far west out to the estuary that lead out into the ocean. It was the first time he'd ever seen such a large body of water and he spent a good hour playing in the salt water and marveling at the sight before him. Eventually, though, it was nap time. Áskell snoozed for a short time and when he woke his father was still sleeping. Rather than try to go to sleep or wake up his father Áskell decided to go play.

Áskell found a smooth clearing that had a nice rock he could use as a work surface. Tail wagging happily as he walked, Áskell dumped the clay out onto the rock and carefully laid out the three leather strips.
