"Just who were you talking with?" Miranda wondered, walking to my side.
"Ah..." I muttered. "Would you believe me if I told you it was the Venerable of Dwarves from the past? He revived."

"Wait, what?!" Benladann called from behind. "Really? That little dwarf?"
"He was," I nodded. "Come on, I'll explain things on the way... Amethyst and Triton, you saw everything, right?"
"I saw something..." Amethyst said. "But I couldn't quite tell what you were talking about. It was all muted."
"Yeah..." Triton nodded.
"Hmm, so that's how it is, huh?" I wondered, rubbing my chin. "Okay then, let's go."
I explained things to them as we moved forward, and they quickly learned more about this dwarf and his plan to become my ally. Once we returned to the castle, we were greeted by a dozen soldiers, the king, the queen, and even Charlotte.
