The Dark Heart bobbed through the water as three elves gathered on the cannon deck. Cool air drifted in as the sun touched the horizon in the distance. The sounds of the ocean and the salty scent blended into a comforting haze, one that Syndra drank in as she watched Pyrah work. Cora stood next to the witch, also watching as the short ember elf worked.

Pyrah moved with determination as she placed a metal bucket on the thin walking space between the cannons. She placed three iron bars in the bucket before fishing into a small bag by it. Hands pulled up rune covered stones and they were carefully placed in the bucket with the iron bars. On the floor by her feet, a strange metal brush and a funnel tube were in plain view.

“Now, it just needs a bit of flame,” Pyrah said as her eyes shined with knowledge.

Syndra looked to Cora, the thin elf stepping closer to the metal bucket. Hand out, she concentrated until a flame stabbed out. It focused, becoming thinner. Cora pointed the flame from her palm into the bucket. All three of the elves watched as the flames barely touched the rune covered stones and the iron bars before they began to melt.

“The stones will enhance the heat and help keep it contained,” Pyrah smiled.

Syndra watched with interested eyes as the rune stones and iron bars melted into a bubbling metal soup. Cora closed her hand, extinguishing the flame. The iron soup continued to bubble as Pyrah took hold of the brush and funnel.

“The cracks in the cannons can be sealed. It will take a few days for the iron to harden into place but once it’s finished, it will perfectly meld with the rest of the cannon,” Pyrah informed them as she picked up the brush, dipped it into the bucket and began painting along the cracks of a cannon.

Syndra and Cora stayed with her, watching the ember elf work. Her brush strokes moved expertly across the cracks, the metal paste filling them in with ease.

“How long will it take?” Syndra asked.

“Not too long. I need to repair the other two cannons as well. This one isn’t terribly damaged, but the last one needs work. I should be finished by supper,” Pyrah said as she didn’t look up from her work.

“I’ll leave you to it,” Cora said with a faint smile before turning and leaving.

Syndra stayed, watching the ember elf work with meticulous skill.

“You never answered me when I asked about Jon,” Pyrah said as she filled in a small, jagged crack.

“Any questions you have, you can ask him,” Syndra said simply.

“I don’t know what Urth men are like? Are they beasts like everyone says?”

Syndra lifted a hand to hide her small smile. “He is a man, in some ways like men here on Aquris. But Jon is different from all.”

“Is he one of the crew or is he your Shullkar?” Pyrah asked and glanced to the shadow elf.

“Pyrah, are you afraid of him?”

The ember elf hesitated during a brush stroke before her eyes hardened a little.
