Days passed or was it weeks, eh' either way it was quite peaceful, a quiet and peaceful life beyond the death and sacrifice that had been common before. It was a place where the most worrying thing, even for the most important of people, was merely logistics.
Finding more stock of something, preparing the place for self sustenance rather than relying on the food and resources that the city provided.
And not only that, but the construction of new buildings and the knocking down of others. It was not like we were taking down skyscrapers. No, what we were doing was different. Using the inventions of Damien, it was quite easy to reallocate the resources that we gained from the buildings into building walls.
Into enchanting them with spells and runes that would make them near impenetrable.
And so, like that, days passed. A week, two. And the place had turned quiet, turned peaceful.
