Ceph sighed while looking out past the fields, deep in thought. After a few minutes, he finally spoke again. "I guess I ultimately don't have much of a choice."
"If I want to be able to live my life. If I don't want to run and hide, constantly seeking shelter. I have to grow stronger. You're right, too many are forced to grow up before they are ready. But I think I am."
Eldrian smiled but did not say anything. For what could he say? His friend had decided and he would stand with him in his decision.
"What are your plans now?" Ceph asked after another moment of silence elapsed.
"I'm going to go to the Taurtania. Myropsis said I can use the resources in her family forge and also access their family library. Seems like she is a duchess... It's my best bet for making some significant progress in a short amount of time."
"What about you, will you join me?"
"No, if I want to force my growth I will need to return to Avgi."
