CHAPTER XI

Thad worked hard and got the rest of the magical walls finished the day after the attack. Crusher continued on as if nothing had happened in fact he seemed to have a bit more bounce in his step since the grueling battle. In the stories dwarfs were always depicted as a little battle hungry and Thad was beginning to believe that was more fact that fiction.

With the magical walls up they didn’t have to worry about anymore night time visits from their little friends though they could still hear them mulling around in the outside tunnels. It was weird, they would come close enough to the magical walls to be heard but they never tested them and as far as he knew they never even touched them.

With the walls up and little to do until Crusher finished his new foot Thad spent his day watching Crusher work the forge. After the molds had set he had went straight into reheating the metal and making minor changes. Thad wasn’t sure what the dwarf was doing but listening to the rhythmic banging of his hammer was somewhat peaceful.

Thad did notice one weird thing when Crusher removed his armor due to the heat the small forge was putting off. The dwarf had two large tattoos, one on his right arm the other in the middle of his shoulder blades. The tattoos were made in an elegant flowing design that looked as if it might be writing.

After turning off his magic aid Thad let the metal loosen and pulled it from the end of his stub. The smell that drifted up to his nose from his now exposed flesh nearly made him gag. In the time he had worn the metal cuff over his stump he hadn’t removed it once to wash the skin underneath and with all the sweating it had become more than rank.

Thad washed the dirt and smell from his leg then began strapping on his new foot. The boot strapped to his leg tightly by a series of buckles. It didn’t take long to get everything situated and soon Thad was standing on his own without magical aid for the first time since he had escaped from his prison cell.

Thad took a few practice steps and found that with the exception of the small discomfort where the buckles were pinching his skin it felt as if he was walking on his real foot again. Thad moved from a slow walk into a faster one until he was at a full sprint. He
