Chapter 11

The conversation was light and full of teasing remarks between Bartis and Boris as they
sat on a rock sipping water from canteens just outside the tunnel they were excavating.
'Yer know yer can't out drink me, yer tried a hunnerd times an' every timer yer do yer
get sicker 'en a rock worm fart!' Bartis poked at Boris.

'Bah, that's only cuz yer be drinkin' that sissy watered down elf-' Boris began to
playfully retort to his twin brother when the sounds of someone chanting nearby cut him
off. The two brothers immediately turned to see another svirf hastily drawing a circle on
the ground and mutter incantations in a language foreign to them. The two brothers had
witnessed magic before, but, this mage didn't quite have the practiced confidence they
had witness in other mages, and that made them nervous.
