Chapter 145 - The two castles

Styli, the dwarf in the dress, asked Bensu, the leader of the dwarves, "Why do you celebrate this holiday?"

Bensu replied, "We had a castle that we used to visit in the spring, where we stored gold and treasures. For years, worms had been digging to reach the castle, wanting to destroy it and seize the treasure, dreaming of sliding over the gold and resting on it.

One day, our dwarf friends were heading to the castle when the earth collapsed beneath them, and they found themselves in a dark tunnel. They fled quickly, searching for a way out. As they emerged from the tunnel, they found a huge worm trying to enter the castle. The dwarves climbed on top of it and jumped into the castle. They grabbed their arrows and shot at the worm until it fell dead to the ground."

Bensu then said, "You—I heard you talking about your castle a little while ago. Tell me about it."

Styli, the dwarf, replied, "My friend, it's a long story. Where do I begin, and where do I end?"
