The Flame’s Whereabouts – Part 04

Dodonno looked up at the tapestry hanging on the wall.

It was a gift from his younger brother, Dodorono, to their mother. Dodorono was around ten years old when he gave it, already drawn more to clothing than smithing. He had started attending a weaving workshop and made this tapestry there. He spent all the allowance he’d saved up until then to buy thread and created this piece for their mother. Other Dwarves that age were restlessly waiting for the day they’d finally be allowed to hold a hammer or sneaking sips of alcohol to pretend they were full-fledged Dwarves.

When Dodonno saw the tapestry, it crushed him. His brother’s talent was incredible, and he realized he could never do something like this. But the next feeling that rose in him was a desire to help. He decided then and there that he would be his brother’s biggest supporter.
