There will be no fighting here, today' said the dwarf king.

Let them see a true dwarf king, a legend of their people come to life.

They were empty now, and the dwarf king could see few soldiers on the walls.

A smile widened on the face of the dwarf king.

For the first time, that truth struck the dwarf king as curious.

"I'm going straight in with a hundred," the dwarf king explained.

"No dwarf king'd let that pass without consecrating the ground."

The dwarf king had heard stories of the elf king's weak and in- decisive nature.

Cordio became suddenly solemn, and he moved up before the dwarf king.

He went to Bruenor each night, and slept in a chair right beside the dwarf king's bed.
