The next day, Thrain woke up with a splitting headache.
He could hardly believe what he heard yesterday. If he wasn't as clear-headed as he was now, then he would have thought that he dreamed the whole conversation he had with Michael and the others.
Making a stone wall in a matter of a few days? Thrain knew this was impossible. Yet, Michael was sure that they could do it. So sure, in fact, that they invited him and the other dwarves to witness the creation of 'concrete' with their own eyes.
As the sun slowly rose in the air, the dwarves all gathered near the outskirts of the village, where everything was still under construction.
As more and more Mankeys found their way to this village, they had to constantly expand their territory to accommodate the half a thousand HobMankeys living in their village.
