The Grey Tower

Jain stayed on the ground and kept staring at the Aiel woman. She might be a better fighter than he was without his sword but he wouldn't be intimidated by her either. The man in black walked over to them from where he had been standing and handed a cloth to Dax before addressing Jain.

"From what I ...

Jain was walking back from the Tower Gardens to the Warder Yard for a lesson Ubriel Gaidar had setup for him in unarmed fighting techniques. It was with another Gaidar who apparently had some skill and was willing to train the new recruits. Jain wasn't completely helpless when it came to fighting ...

Jain focused on his opponent almost exclusively and to a lesser extent, the small area of the Gardens they were fighting in. Sword or fists, Jain figured the Oneness could be learned to assist with any type of weapon. He kept throwing relatively heavy handed blows, any of which would make a ...

Jain didn't really want to be in a hand to hand fight with Dax as he preferred the sword to really anything else, but he also didn't think much short of death would prevent him from constantly seeking him out. At first, he hadn't taken much notice of the man after their sparring match but he had ...

Jain found a place near the waterfall and sat down listening to the water flow. He would eventually have to be able to do this on his own, but for now he used the steady sound of the waterfall to help him clear his mind.

He had determined a few minutes ago that Dax was good but not as skilled as he was and because of this, Jain made sure he stayed ...

Jain knew that he was fairly quick but he also knew that his strength lay in precisely that, strength. Dax on the other hand was quicker and tended to move out of the way of his attacks instead of even trying to block them. Jain didn't let it get to him, though and made sure all his moves where the ...

Jain learned that the pretty boy's name was Dax and not much else. I don't need to know much more about him anyway, When the battle began, Jain started to feel out his opponent in the same way he figured Dax would be assessing him. Since he seemed to want to move around in a circle, Jain had no ...

Jain woke at his usual time before the sun and went through his normal presunrise routine. When the sun rose, he went to wash up and get to breakfast. After eating he still had some free time and since he had recently gotten a new sword, he decided extra practice to get used to the weight and ...
