A week passed since Erik enrolled at the Red Palace, and things were progressing smoothly. Most of the training was in the morning, and he liked it very much.
Master Nieminen was a great teacher, and the Flyssa was a great sword, suitable for slashing but also for stabbing, and it complemented his power well. It was better than using random branches he picked from the forest and was far more durable.
Erik noticed his power was particularly effective on the blade, and the result he got in terms of sharpness was much greater than when he used it on something else. Any superior weapon he gained would make him even stronger.
When Master Nieminen asked him to name his Flyssa, Erik spent nearly a week contemplating the perfect name—one that would both suit its purpose and inspire fear. He settled on "Heartseeker," a fitting name for a weapon destined to slay thaids.
