"Very good indeed my son." Magnus said as he emerged from the shadow of the trees. "Your skills have in fact improved greatly to have derected me amongst hundreds of your comrades." He said with a grin. "Finally defeated that old fool of a clan leader I see? Very good, very good indeed. Decided to mess with SOLDIER too I see, that little skirmish a few days ago was your doings as well wasn't it?"

"While we are on the subject, I am curious to see just how far your skills have come. How about a friendly duel, shall we? Let's say first one to land a few hits on the other is the victor?" Magnus said with a grin. He knew unless Dresden had truly surpassed his expectations and previous strength he could easily win, but even still he would have had to improve greatly to have beaten the old clan leader, and of that he was proud of his sireling.
