For the next few days everyone from the group focused on their solo activities:
Calen practiced forging from dawn till dusk under the watchful eye of Thomas and Greg, and although his progress was slow, it was also steady.
Isara split her time between studying her book and searching the fortress for any signs of the mighty magic circle hiding somewhere within.
It came as quite a surprise that Nickolas knew nothing about the unfinished enchantment, and he also informed them that there were a few rooms in the castle which weren't on the plans – either built after the fortress was built or purposely hidden.
Elira decided to compile all information which might be useful during their journey with the help of the knowledge reservoir, using the periods when the device was materialising the books to deepen her connection with nature; in short she spent most days locked in the 'library'.
