The armor felt so strange ....
It was light, but heavy ....
Nothing like wearing cloth ...
"Very good! Â It's fits you well Asdrellia."
Wolkan smiled at her then went over to a worn chest, opening the lid.
"Hm ... something perfect for you. Â Let's see ..."
The man mumbled to himself as he scanned the contents of the chest. Â Finally, he stood, holding a weapon.
"This a gladius. Â You will find many gladiators wielding this weapon some time in their lives. Â Think of it bigger than a dagger but smaller than a long sword. Â Here ..."
Holding the pommel out to Asdrellia, he motioned for her to take it. Â Reaching out, she gripped the gladius as he let go.
So different than a staff ...
She could sense the many people who held this weapon before ....
"It is blunt, so don't worry about cutting yourself, but it will make one hell of a bruise if you hit yourself with it."
Wolkan motioned for her to follow him over to the wooden training dummies.
"Now, I am going to teach you the basics of how to stand and to swing your gladius. Â Ready to learn?"
Asdrellia nodded, her stomach in knots.
"Y-Yes ..."
