When Eldrian returned from Vlisia he was quite drained, while he had gotten used to general fighting and death, the destruction of the city was still a bit much for him. Seeing so much death, even if it was only those of their enemy, weighed heavily on him. Especially since he did not understand why they would have fought till the last. What forced them to...
However, he didn't pause. He immediately started testing new combinations and collections of runes.
"You should take a break." Myropsis said but Eldrian simply waved her off.
Noticing that she would not be able to speak any sense into him, Myropsis decided to get Vivian involved. She was normally the only one who could drag him out of his own head. And it was about the time when they would normally spar.
"Hey! You need to stay sharp, don't you?!" Vivian shouted, grabbing the unfished product from Eldrian's hands.
