" Lord Ravan, welcome to my humble workshop " Lily the dwarf said with a smile on her face as Max strotted inside the cramped workshop with confidence.

" Welcome " the tiny apprentice repeated as Max resisted the urge to fiddle his curly dwarf hair as he took a seat. 

" Master alchemist Lily, it's a pleasure to meet you " Max said politely, but did not go out of his way to butter Lily up.

Lily chuckled a bit and then said " It's because a Lord came personally to recruit me and the fact that I've heard about the legendary exploits of the rising star of the vampire monarchy.
