In the stony halls of the Glittering Caves, the echoes of forgotten ages whispered to the steady beat of a hammer. Resplendent with an ethereal glow, the gem-studded roof of the cave seemed to mirror the star-lit sky of a clear summer night. Seated upon a throne of shimmering quartz, with an aura that seemed as unyielding as the mountains themselves, Gimli, son of Glóin, Lord of the Glittering Caves, held court.

The rhythm of his work paused for a moment, Gimli leaned upon the haft of his trusty axe, his eyes beholding the beauty of the cavern around him. His beard, like a waterfall of deep rusted iron, rested on his broad chest, gleaming in the cave’s iridescence. He heaved a sigh, laden with memories of battles past and friends long seen.

Ah, these caverns, he began, his voice as sonorous as the echoes around him. Never hath stone sung such a song to mine ears, nor has gem shone with such fervor in mine eyes. These walls, they tell a tale, a tale as old as the very bones of Arda.

His grip tightened around the handle of his axe, fingers brushing over old, familiar scratches. They sing of an age when Dwarves were many, when our halls rang loud with the echoes of hammer and chisel. Each stone, each gem, is a word in that song, a word that speaks of our past, and our future.

A brief silence settled, the only sound being the soft drip of water against stone in the distant corridors. Gimli chuckled then, a warm, rumbling sound that filled the cavern. But here I am, talking to stone and gem as though they were flesh and blood. An old Dwarf's whimsy, no doubt.

With a determined nod, Gimli stood. Hefting his axe, he said, Now, to work. There are halls to be delved, stone to be shaped. The tale of the Dwarves is not yet at an end, and these walls have many more songs to sing. He turned towards a particularly promising vein of ore in the wall and raised his axe.

: Exhausted from running I’m wasted on cross-country! We Dwarves are natural sprinters, very dangerous over short distances.

: If anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I note they’re not, I’d say we were taking the long way around.

Legolas: They have feelings, my friend. The elves began it, waking up the trees, teaching them to speak. : Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm… except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

: Whatever luck you live by… let’s hope it lasts the night. Legolas: Your friends are with you, Aragorn. : Let’s hope they last the night…

: Well, this is a thing unheard of. An Elf would go underground, where a Dwarf dare not. Oh, I’d never hear the end of it.
