His mind was a whirlwind of anger and confusion, a volatile mix that threatened to erupt at any moment. The events at the training ground played on a loop in his head, each memory stoking the fire that burned in his chest.

The memory of Eirik's unveiled face flashed before his eyes, causing him to grit his teeth in frustration.
