Chapter 17 – SKIRMISH

ENKILLE provided him breakfast when he woke up in the morning. She proudly showed him the walk-in closet where his clothes were neatly hanged. All were winter clothing and several battle armors.

“Today, I suggest you wear special armor and a fighting suit because Fariyah will test your strength. Physically and mentally. Best of luck!” she said when he finished his meal.

“Battle armor? Is that necessary? I couldn’t fight the High Priestess with my strength alone. I thought I needed to learn magic first.”

“Is that a complaint? You have to endure everything. Magic doesn’t come easy, especially for the likes of you.”

“I’m not complaining. I am just stating a fact.” He gently shrugged.

She immediately left after giving him more advice for his first day of sparring with the priestess. Although he was agitated thinking about what could happen, Enkille reassured him that everything would turn out good if he did his best.
