Arran spent several hours testing out his new weapons, getting a feel for each as he familiarized himself with their weight and balance.

The giant sword was easily his favorite. Although using the massive hunk of sharpened steel was very different from using a normal sword, there were enough similarities that wielding it felt natural.
