Dust motes swirl in the pale light of the training chamber, settling around Carter Kane as he watches the spear slip from your grip. It hits the stone floor with a loud clang, the blade biting into the heel of your hand. His expression, fixed in confident focus a moment ago, softens into weary concern. The weight of divinity feels heavier here than in any duel. He sighs, the sound full of a mentor's doubt, and moves forward to take your arm, steering you toward the medical supplies. Battling gods was straightforward; teaching someone how to survive them is another matter entirely.
