The Dark Ability
“Fatigue made focusing on mining more challenging than he had expected, and Rsiran hammered away at the stone with his dull pick without paying attention to what he was doing. Only when he’d cleared a good-sized chunk of lorcith did he realize what was happening. The work, much like it did when he was working the forge, heating the lorcith and hammering it into shape, took hold of him, demanding what it would.
He looked around. None seemed to see the size of his find, and he pushed it toward... a pile of loose debris, covering it as well as he could. Thankfully, the boy had been leaving him alone, choosing to mine down a different tunnel, else he might have been seen. For some reason, Rsiran didn’t want him knowing that he was still removing the lorcith from the walls.
The other miners worked in a staccato rhythm. A few worked smaller pieces out from the walls while most simply worked at removing stone, widening the tunnel as they went. The thin man worked in his crew today, but Rsiran didn’t think he’d seen him pull the piece of ore from the rock.MoreLess
