The old sage entered the cave with the meat he was carrying and saw Aragon as he sat upon the stone with the sword in his hand, polishing it, his physical appearance now exuding strength and vitality. His hair cascaded down to his shoulders, and a well-defined muscular frame hinted at the arduous training he had endured.
He observed how Aragon had transformed himself and how dedicated he was, staying in the cave and practicing the sword technique all the time. He could see that Aragon was talented, just like Renqinor, and thought that he should have been given proper training from the beginning, but he was still able to train by himself by learning from the scroll. He was mesmerized by Aragon's perception skills and how he conducted himself even after knowing the truth, focusing on what was important right now.
As the old sage presented him with the meat, Aragon expressed his gratitude with a nod.
