The cave was dark as it had been before

The cave was dark as it had been before. The two lanterns hung as they had before and the two old men still hammered away at the carvings. Robert smiled as he took a lantern out from within his cloak and pulled a stick out with it. He found a groove in the rock floor and jammed the stick in. When he was sure that the stick was stable enough, he hung the lantern from it and lit the oil within.

Robert reached back into his cloak and pulled out the glowrock. Immediately, the entire cave lit up. Robert looked from side to side and realized that the rock that the cave was in was very reflective. He took the glowrock to the middle of the cave and, using a hammer that he also carried in his cloak, he pounded the glowrock into the cave's floor. The walls were still lit and the two old men seemed uninterested in that fact.

Robert returned to the right side of the cave. He reached into his cloak and produced the only other thing he carried with him, a chisel. He raised it to the wall and hit it with the hammer, knocking a chunk of rock to the floor. He continued to do so until he realized that the two old men stood behind him watching. He turned to them, "Hello," he said.

"What are you carving?" asked the man on the left.

Robert thought for a moment before answering, "Well," he said, pausing, "You're carving this," he gestured straight across the cave to one statue, "and you're carving that," he gestured to his right at the other carving, "I guess that mean's I'm carving the only thing left for me to carve…"

The two men looked expectantly at Robert, unsure of what he meant by this comment, but they didn't have to wait long before Robert finished what he was saying:

"I'm carving everything else."
