Durin simply took a week's rest at the Eternal Blaze Nest.
Romiel couldn't wait; he left the next day, but before he did, Durin kept his promise and let him see the concept sketches he had drawn overnight.
With just a few words, a few characters, Romiel was deeply enchanted, as he realized that Durin had created an entirely new film faction.
"When can we see it!" Romiel asked excitedly.
"If it's soon, roughly a year," Durin told the truth.
"My God! A year! Someone knock me out!" exclaimed the old boy before taking leave after saying goodbye to Astrid.
During the following week, Durin completed the entire story script and drew quite a few storyboards.
When another year's vacation came, Anta brought Irene back to the Eternal Blaze Nest.
"How's life been recently." Durin opened the door, instructing Hemo to launch the White-faced Owl on a midnight sortie.
