"Miss Alma, we are using a great deal of magic. We should stop to rest. If we continue on this way we will incur injuries greater than we can handle." The mages that had come with Alma were there for one reason. To get Alma to the place where the stone elves were thought to have their hidden city.
"Listen here, if we stop. If we rest. If we wait…we might not have a place to go home to. I understand I might get hurt and I thank you for the fact that you care. But every single one of you along with my enforcers have pledged to risk their lives for me. How can I not risk my life for all of you and more!?"
This was the sole desire of Alma at the moment. She knew that they were nearing the mountainous area where the stone elves were thought to exist. The dwarves had searched a few places and avoided the area because they had some details about why they thought this and wanted to avoid conflict.
