The Northern Kingdom remains as it was when Durin experienced it, with a summer that chills in early spring.
He stroked the little Snow Leopard in his arms, the little creature obediently perched on Durin's shoulder, gazing at the graveyard before them.
Durin now stands in front of Robert Walter's grave.
Back then, Durin faced envy from all directions. To him, surviving in Lublin was improbable, and he'd rather step out of that small world and seek a clever way to succeed.
In Copenhagen, he met many people, including this old man.
He was the lord of this kingdom, the master of Copenhagen, an old friend of Elder Yishu, and a man who had kept a secret for sixty years.
What he said to Durin in his study remained unforgettable to Durin.
Life is like a long night, and the long night will eventually end. He chose to believe in Durin in his final stage of life, handing over that cane to Durin.
