Ermithdin filed out into the hallway with the others and stood talking to the members of his guild, discussing what had just taken place and the potential repercussions. Afterwards he and Protius began to make their way back through the Fulcrum to his workshop, high in the caves beside Shaft Four.

‘What are you going to do?’ Protius asked.

‘What can I do? I have to give them what they want.’

‘Really?’ Protius asked, sounding surprised.

‘I am going to make the most powerful weapon I can,’ Ermithdin said.

He and his apprentice walked up the stone stairwell that led out of the centre of the city, not speaking again until they reached his workshop. Ermithdin unlocked the door and stepped inside. He went straight over to his writing desk, took out a quill and a scrap of parchment, and jotted down a list in his untidy handwriting. He folded it, turned and handed the paper to Protius.

‘Here is a list of the materials I need. Take this note to the king and tell him that without them it will not be possible to craft a crossbow with enough range and power to bring down a seagull, let alone a dragon,’ he commanded, as he ushered the young man towards the door.

‘When do we start?’ Protius asked, as he was pushed out into the tunnel.

‘First thing tomorrow. Come here and we can go to the forge on Level Two. Do not be late, and do not forget the materials,’ he shouted after Protius.

Ermithdin stood with his back against the door and let out a deep sigh.

He looked over at his red-leather-covered writing desk and focused on the quill and parchment that sat on top of it. It was time to write a letter to an old friend.
