There's nothing you believe you want
Together they faced the issue, those with magic and those without; Morgan smiled as she saw Hester work hard with her shovel, valuing her determination more than she would any fancy sorcery. The rocks for each worker would crumble away and cease to be a problem, Loren's dragon and Deimos' rather more subtle methods clearing them. Morgan herself helped too, digging ahead and getting the more stubborn ones out of place with Hester.
Eventually, they were making real headway on the trench; Morgan could see Loren in the distance, the two sides coming up to meet each other around the back of the Citadel. The grooves finally joined, the last metre or so being dug by all four participants; a quick walk around the Citadel satisfied Morgan that it had been even and successful all the way.
What the walk also showed her, though, was that the new lower ground was very exciting for Ningos. The birds had begun to settle down into the darker spots, glad for a break from the snow and predators; soon they were going to begin calling for even more to join them. Morgan sighed, knowing they'd have to be cleared out before they could begin laying the planks and beams in the trench necessary to strengthen it.
"Help me get rid of these Ningos. ...Try not to kill them." She called out to the group, knowing that while they were indeed, delicious, Chulane wanted a good population for his eventual farm plans. For her own part she began to walk along and shoot small blasts of water over them, surprising the birds enough to make them fluff up and hop out of the gap.

Well done team!
Next job: spook the Ningos away (but don't harm the integrity of the trench!)

But where were you when it all came down on me?
