151 CLI. The Great Forge

Despite being tired, the three companions picked up the pace, eager to discover the room at the end of the stairs.

After about twenty minutes, finally, the exit of the tunnel became visible: a warm and intense light came from the next room.

Dag turned to them and nodded with his hand, ordering them to remain silent.

He left the torch on the ground, to prevent Vegard from noticing them. Firstly he wanted to make sure he wasn't dangerous, he was always a man in contact with the Gods, after all.

Dag approached the entrance to the luminous room and was forced to cover his eyes for a few seconds before he could see, because of the darkness in which they had walked for hours.

A constant metallic noise rumbled into the huge room, the vault of which was tens of meters high.

In addition to that noise, there was another in the background: from some rocks at several meters high, liters and liters of dense magma fell into the lava pool, which matched the description provided by Asa.
