Hilbert and his companions were in the Elven Palace of Shadows, in a big warehouse where the weapons and armor were stored. They were analyzing the armors and other weapons, as Hilbert and Matilda's armors were almost destroyed. Gödel scanned the swords displayed in an attempt to find one that resembled the ones he used. A tall, very strong elf wearing gloves and a blacksmith's apron over his black clothes waited sitting on a wooden chair. Apart from Elwin, none of the other elves knew about Filanwin's plan. The elf looked at Hilbert's shield.

"Pale human child with the eyes of grey diamonds. Can I see that shield you carry?" Asks the low-voiced elf. Hilbert approaches and hands the shield to the elf, who is studying it meticulously. "This shield has its own aura. I remember when I forged it a thousand years ago. The wizard Yegannoril filled it with this aura resistant to elemental magic. It was probably a gift given to your father." the elf hands the shield back to Hilbert.

"I think, a thousand years ago, my father was not yet alive! We humans don't live that long. Says Hilbert, smiling. "This shield has been in my family for generations."

"I had forgotten that detail!" the elf looked with a puzzled face. "The armor that is here was forged by me. I was able to learn to use the enchantment that fills them with magical aura. If you wear these armor or magic weapons you will be unbeatable against the children of darkness." everyone looks at the elf with surprise.

"Hey, Sir elf!" Gödel says looking at the strong elf. "Doesn't it have any kind of sword with bristles that resemble prey?"

"You can call me Galadror! I can forge weapons and armor if you want, but it would be impossible to efficiently repair those cracked armor that you are wearing." the elf crosses his arms and looks at Gödel.

"Mister Galadror! I would like to see the methods you use to forge, if you will allow me to." says Matilda.

"Do you also master the art of metal shaping, human child?" says Galadror looking at Matilda.

"It's one of my brigade's specialties! I forged my axe and armor by myself!" replies Matilda.

"I understand! You can observe my procedures. These armors were made for the elvish bodies. I don't think they would fit properly for you. Follow me to my place of work!" the elf gets up and goes to an adjacent room that contained all the equipment and materials he used to forge. Matilda had been impressed by the size of the room and all the materials that were available.

"I need to observe your bodies and take the correct measurements. I haven't forged anything for humans in a long time!" Galadror replies looking towards the three companions who looked at each other with shame. They were silent for a while and the elf was left without understanding why.

"What are you waiting for?" asks the elf without understanding the situation.

"I think you better do this with each of us separately!" says Hilbert with embarrassment.

"There is no problem with that." answers the elf. "Let's start with the brown-skinned human then!" Galadror looked at Gödel while the other companions left the room.

Gödel removes his leather armor and is naked before the elf that was beginning to take measurements of his body. Hilbert talks to Matilda in the weapons room.

"It's okay for you to be naked before the male elf Matilda. They have no interest in humans!" says Hilbert blushing.

"I also don't think we will be interested in each other's bodies, I presume. This is the most efficient way to obtain armor that fits our bodies, Hilbert." says Matilda who was visibly ashamed. Gödel enters the warehouse and asks Hilbert to come in. Hilbert proceeds to the forge room.
