The Demon
Our water supply had recently been refreshed-we were hiking in the mountains, after all, not in a royal park.
In fifteen minutes, we delved inside the cave. Ten minutes later, I stopped to inspect a few pretty sparkling rocks. Henry saw them too.
"It's ore of some kind. We should take some to test it. Let Rick take a look."
We chipped off a few pieces and took them with us. The ore turned out to be silver, and quite pure, too. The cave was a natural deposit. After the villagers realized the potential profits, they started working shifts. We had to work a lot before Rick arranged to transport ore to the plains, and even more before we built the first foundry and a small mint.
