Labs stirred himself from his blissful sleep he sat for a while, grinning as he felt nothing, then he remembered the Voice’s command.
He pulled himself up from the wooden bed which creaked due to lack of movement for the last two years of its life and pulled himself to the bone stockpile where he grabbed several large animal bones then he went to the metal stockpile and grabbed the Fine Pewter bars that were stocked up.
He strapped these to his back and went to the nearest smelter.
He used some clay to form a rough mould, melted the Pewter and poured half of it into the mould then he put the bones on top of the half melted metal and then poured the rest on top of it.
He then used some rough leather from his shirt and strapped these artificial legs on and stood for the first time in two years.

Fil worked fruitlessly drawing and redrawing the temple that pierced the battle scarred landscape of his mind. Finally after twenty or so fruitless drawings he got it perfect and quickly began to plan out how much metal, glass, and bloodstones he would need.
Fil sighed and examined the image that was drawn onto the piece of dog leather with charcoal. It was the best drawing he had made in his lifetime, and it would be the biggest impact on his life.
Suddenly a Dwarf walked into his area and poked him roughly in the back, breaking his staring contest with the drawing.
“Hey Fil? When are you going to work on my bar?! I expect it done in a week or you won’t get the damn emerald.”
*WHAM*
“I’ll come back at a more opportune time then!” Phil yelped as he quickly backpedaled out of the house pass Flint, who stood and stared at the strange dwarf that was walking backwards.
“Weirdo.” He muttered under his breath as he stepped into Fil’s makeshift office.
“Hey, Fil? Dermonsta wanted me to come in and ask you to mine out a new barracks. Oh and Khameo decided to get into a fistfight with someone. I can’t really recall who…probably Overlord. What a pretentious name am I right? Fil? Why are you looking at me like that? Boss?… I think I’ll go get something to eat. See you.”
Flint strode out of the office occasionally looking back toward the obviously fey dwarf that was known as Fil.
((Still can’t get it out of my head…))
