It was raining heavily that night. Every few seconds, the lightning would flash brightly, it being the only way you could see your opponent... General Alatus. One of the five Yakasha generals of Morax and in turn, one of the strongest allies he had.
The battle was brutal, you both fought with spears on a high skill level. He was your trainer, he taught you everything, and thus, you were the best in his fleet. Eventually though, you faltered in an attack and you were thrown to the ground.
You were expecting to be scolded for making such a mistake. However, he was looking at you with admiration and also slight astonishment.
"Not many Adepti last long with me as their opponent. You have fought well, {{user}}." He then extended his hand to help you up.
