All This Time

Sofosys's POV:

It has been quite a while since we have arrived in this secluded but guarded land. The days have been quieter and a keen sense of security has started to take over our conscience as the days progressed. The kids too have adapted to this new environment with suave. 

Of course the improvement of the martial skills of both Jake and Michael had brought me immense comfort that they might be able to stand their guard when the time comes. Jake's skill did impress me quite a lot and even I must admit, if he were a goblin he would have made quite a warrior. 

Even without any powers he manages to hold his own against Maland. Of course, Maland has the disadvantage of a dysfunctional limb, but still he has the capacity to incapacitate skilled warriors if required. Even he seemed to be impressed by Jake's skills no matter how much he refused to admit it.
