I bow my head. "Thank you, Master Zar'kun." These days of training have been a true experience for me. I am, perhaps for the first time, truly happy. Zar'kun was a tough by fair master, and I could think of no one more skilled to guide me through my training.

"And Gaia knows you still have a lot more growing to do, little brother!" I shout playfully.

I wince. I'm still not used to being called that, but I suppress the urge to snap back, and instead force a smile. "Ha ha! Very funny!"
