148 Chapter 3. Hermit, Alanis and Alexia (2/2)
They became surprised and could settle down, yet they still clung to him.
But he couldn't stay awake to comfort them as he fell asleep fist them in his arms.
It had been a few days since the twins came here, Demos had taught them how to cultivate the land and pick the best berries.
Although he noticed that he they couldn't see the little people. They also seemed to have adopted in his earlier morning practices of praying to the goddess statue. Sometimes they would leave during the day and bring back some pray or sticks for the fire.
Which Demos would cook up for a meal
He looked at his hut. 'maybe its time to make it bigger. The two can sleep on the cots forever, and they need beds.'
After coming to the decision.
He prayed before he moved the shrine outside. The Twins already left, to hunt so he decided it was time to remodel his home.
The little people where a step ahead of them though. His hear warmed, these little people were always ready to help him whenever he was doing anything. Or worried whenever he got sick, he had no one at his old age, his family long gone due to the war. So, no one cared if anything happened to him.
His hut was transformed into a stone house, the little people couldn't talk, but he always knew what they meant as he helped them build the house.
By the time they where finished he looked at the new building in wonder. The little people were also great architects, they were different from the buildings in his home country. But they had a somewhat enchanting feel. It also had this giant wheel by its side that span with the flow of water.
The Little people began to pull on his sleeve leading him inside and teaching him how this work. From what he understands the wheel outside brings light into the house and turns this device that delivers heat.
The twins came back and were surprised at the new building. But, quickly got used to it. They had their own beds now and they where tucked in before they slept warmly with smiles on their faces.
