The dead are remembered, but the living need to survive too.
While the old elf was pondering deeply on what to do, Althea took out several of her toolmaking tools and started making some protection charms.
It was her specialty and the easiest to make for her, and she needed to impress. Through this, she would showcase not just her toolmaking skills, but also show how different she was from other toolmakers because of her mastery of the arrays.
The dwarves stopped thinking and surrounded her, watching her movements in fascination and intrigue. At some point, some dwarves even gasped, some sighed wistfully, and one even cried due to emotions.
To summarize, it was when the lady showed impressive toolmaking skills and array magic that not just the elder, but every dwarf there, was completely won over.
Althea chuckled. She should've just done this earlier.
"You…are amazing!"
"Those movements…are you an array master?"
