The Klunkun... exploded into a multitude of silver shards of that glittered and flashed and reflected all light in the area; it looked like a shining silvery glittering supernova.
Runeweaver gulped, watching Firemane carefully. She had no more klunkun... She slowly started to back away.

The impact had been shocking enough to make him real but the resulting explosion of glittering shards was too much even for Firemane as he dropped to one knee... he knew NOT to wipe his skin or eyes... he was too stubborn to drop his weapon...but it did not matter. He was defeated according to the rules of combat the moment she had forced him onto bended knee. This battle was Runeweavers. Glittermane had watched carefully the whole time uninterupting and silent. "Class dismissed. Firemane teh yer chambers. Stew ehn yer glittering juices. Thaht'll beh punishment fer yer actions in tha tussle! Th rest O' ye... Hope ye learned semth'n ahz wehl... Dismissed. Ahl except fer Runeweaver. Come lass; sit by meh nou..." He spoke quietly, but in a silent room his voice carried from wall to wall. It held the tone of finality.

Runeweaver stood and straightened, and took a deep breath. She looked to her father, and gulped, before turning to look at Lilshade... then Brawnarm. She gulped again. She wanted to see if her siblings were okay. She was hit hard by the feeling of guilt on her shoulders... she hadn't been a good enough leader. Her siblings had gotten hurt. She turned away from them, head low, and walked silently to sit by her father's side.

The others escorted by Hoardgleam made their way to the healers. With the battle over the party continued on... if a bit less lively than before. Glittermane watched runeweaver as she came head low... As she sat next to him he sighed. "So mah lil thinkar, what ded ye learn frem tha mess? Ah want ahl ye learned mind ye." His face was unreadable as a blank slate of stone as he waited for her answer.

She was silent for a very long moment before speaking; she did not lift her head.
Ah learn'd... Ah learn'd tha if ahm goona lead oothers, ah shoold lead. Ah slipped up, mah siblin's goot hurt. Ah shoould think things throogh moore.
She gulped again.
Ah alsoo learned soomthin ood happins wheen yew strike ah dwarfs belleh... aroond th' belleh button?
She kept her eyes on her plate. She suddenly didn't feel hungry. Well, she was hungry, but she didn't feel like eating. Or drinking.

The young dwarfs silver eyebrows went up as she looked back into her father's eyes. The emerald gleam was uncertain as she searched her mind for other answers.
Uhm... Tae woork as ah team with oothers? She said uncertainly. She remembered a few points in the battle where it might have gone smoother if she had a couple of her siblings work together...

Runeweaver's emerald eyes went wide as she got a bit of a deer in the headlights look for a moment.... before nodding vigorously.
Yes Da! Ah unnerstahnd!

Runeweaver's emerald eyes were still wide as she listened intently. He had her full attention.
Yes da! She was learning from her father now... and she was taking his words to heart. Ah woonder if ah shoold geit oout moore. She wondered in the back of her mind upon listening to her father speak.

Glittermane smilled warmly as he finally let his gaze go. Runeweaver felt like a ton of stone had been removed from her back. "Wehl nou, ohf ye goh yer free fer th rest O' th dey teh doo ahz ye lyke Runeweaver. Ye ded wehl." He took a big stone mug and had it filled to the brim with beer as he drank it happily. Another bootie... if not the same one rolled right into the back of Runeweavers chair and climbing up on it so he was hanging by his knees and upside down next to Runeweavers left ear he giggled and spoke. "Wehl th plain ones ney se plain anneh moor aye? Eh ryte ahn propper lil generahl! Dohn goh ordern too manneh teh break theyre heads fer ye nou! hahaha!"

Runeweaver blinked and looked back at the bootie from erlier as he climbed into her chair and hung there. When he told her what the people thought of her now she actually blushed at this. They think o' me as ah generahl? But ahm ah toymaker... whel, ah wahnt to be ah toymaker... She put a finger to her lips as she pondered that. She then reached for some beetle legs and some of the finer dwarf ale as she thought on this...
