"Can I get some training?" Eldrian asked, realizing that while they could not teach him about magic, at least not directly. They could teach him about the spells and the best uses for them. More than that, they could properly instruct him how to fight.
His case might be unique, he might have a great deal of stats over most his level and now even some over his level. That did not mean he could slow down and Eldrian found that he truly needed some training in close combat fighting.
His spars with Vivian had always been useful, but he was certain now she would no longer be faster than him. She also had limited experience, having only practiced alone most of her life.
"Training?" Pelaros echoed, unsure what Eldrian meant.
"Yes, specifically spear training." Eldrian replied, "I have mostly been surviving, or rather managing due to my unique use of magic. I need to have that become a hidden card, not my only card."
I often find myself falling into the trap of describing instead of showing. It is the old adage of show don't tell, but it is far harder to show than tell.
I would like to ask that my readers comment when they realize I am telling and not showing. I believe it is one of the things I need to master to massively improve my writing.
