The Grey Tower

Sooo yeah, I haven't been around much the past week...

Sorry to everyone who I've kept waiting, but I've been sick for most of the week and that, combined with an unprecedented peak in my studies, has kept me from writing. I'm working on catching up now, should be done soon!

Elia's touch felt warm, and strangely comforting. Cayden usually avoided other people, and he didn't appreciate people touching him for no reason, but this was different. He always felt awkward when people touched him, and he never knew what to make of it. He never could tell if they were being ...

That answer excited Cayden. There were so many weapons to choose from... He knew he wouldn't be able to master them all, but knowing more than just his sword couldn't hurt. He had already spotted some that he couldn't wait to try out, like the two balls tied together by a chain. The havoc a trained ...
