A note lay at the table before breakfast this morning. "They have announced the first trial." Rielen mentioned after reading the note. "It will be a trial by combat." She tossed the note back onto the table. "I guess we will need to forgo our usual training and work on our combat skills."
"I think we can still manage in the ring. I know I was against you learning the Shadows training, but I am willing to help you if you promise me one thing." Eon said. "What?" Rielen asked. "You will not try to sacrifice yourself again." Eon looked down at the half eaten plate of food.
Their life in Autra had left so many scars on his heart. Each of them fresh with the memory that gave them their scar. One such memory was the time that Rielen sent him away so she could fight with the fallen spirit. Eon had been helpless in that fight. It had fueled years of training.
