He seemed to be back in the old days.
In the past, he had more than once sparred with Priest Rizzo in the Warband's Arena.
At that time, he was never a match for Rizzo, who tirelessly corrected his moves over and over.
Of course, in their interactions, sparring was not the main focus; they spent more time together in the chapel of the Battle Group's flagship, studying scriptures and analyzing the profound teachings of The Emperor.
He was born into a family of State Church Priests on the Warband's Homeworld, and he was expected to follow the path of his forefathers, to become a respected denizen spreading the gospel of The Emperor and representing the Divine Emperor.
However, from a young age, he disliked such responsibilities and preferred heroic legends and stories instead.
