Evelyn was in high spirits when she went to the courtyard to train with George. She found him examining the weapons. "Good afternoon," she said.
"Good afternoon," George replied. "Let me see the sword you have been using."
Evelyn reached into her storage bag and pulled out the short sword that Richolo had given her. George examined the blade and nodded his head. "If you can get your mind around the runes, it might be a good idea to enchant a sword for you. You struggle with close combat and it would be wise to have an enhanced weapon to protect you. While the whip is a good one, it cannot beat a sword in close combat," he said.
Evelyn nodded her head, "I was thinking about that earlier as I was reading through the books that Micah brought. If I could enchant a sword it may help me deal a much more powerful blow."
