The leader was clutching some kind of blade in his hand and yelling out for the crowd.

Spreading his snow white wings he rose into the air, approaching the mountain before stopping in front of the dwarf, his wings beating lazily as he stood in mid air. His silver eyes regarded the small creatures with a mixture of indignation and contempt. "Would you mind telinginforming me as to the reason you are here, uninvited and unannounced?".
Urist gaped at the glorious being of creation, a watcher of the people's of the world. Urist, like many dwarves, still held onto his ambitions and fortitude. He beat his chest and proudly said for all to hear:

"Why, we have the burning desire to reach the sky! Our hands carved a great mountain so we may come closer to our desire, but we knew there an even higher place to reach! This place was at the top of the sky, hidden from our worldly eyes, but now we shall reach on high! There is no place to go but up, and we shall go above this world of yours!"

The dwarves cheered and applauded, their spirits a-fire. These winged creatures were strange and held the gift of flight, but the dwarves would reach higher than them regardless of their stature!
The angelic host seemed to be at a loss of words. These mortals carried themselves with great pride and were certainly dedicated to reach their heavenly city. They congratulated the dwarves for their hard work and escorted them back to their tower.

Urist Bershukar adjusted his horned helm as the tear in the sky shut itself neatly. They were rejected, but they would return! Repairs were still needed to fortify Mt. Nolam, but the dwarves would be back. Dwarves were not to be denied of their ambitions!
