"This would work." Zephyr nodded, scrutinizing a prime location of the plateau.
It was the best spot for him to build his Troglodyte home. An open space, nestled between one of the cracks in the plateau's lee side.
It was a deep crack, just wide enough to allow someone of his size to walk through without touching both sides.
Zephyr could dig into the hard-earthen walls at that depth, opening up a cave and creating a place he could call his home.
It offered sufficient privacy, such that anyone who was passing by wouldn't even know there was an abode cut into the cliff-face.
He started on it immediately, willing the earth to bend to his intent. His mana node went into action, executing his intention with the use of earth magic.
He softened the packed earth gradually, careful not to overdo it. The walls crumbled in thin layers, peeling away like dried clay as his mana node worked in small pulses.
