"I am having a hard time believing in my eyes and the things I heard," Arlen said. "Who is that kid? I never heard of a mage that can envelop a sword with such powerful flames?"

"It is thanks to him that I only received a few scratches," Verkan said. "I don't know what you heard, but the kid is a beast! A calm beast, I suppose, even amidst the battle, he never let his blood rush to his head."

"Sir, I believe this information should be kept as a secret for a while longer," Verkan said. "I will reveal that at an important time, a golden time. Where the information might change the tide of the whole battle."

"I don't believe I am having this type of conversation with you, Verkan," Arlen said and then sighed. "Just answer my question. If I think his identity must remain hidden, I will keep it hidden."
