As the young raven man seemed to be frozen in time(Yes, I'm breaking 4thwall), Advaya heard some strangers talk nearby of adventurers of old, resting in this hamlet. He had a great idea, maybe he could learn from these people he moved towards the training grounds, where a woman taller than him by 1 foot stood. He felt weak in front of him, a rare thing. He walked up to her and asked, "What can you teach me?" Rather than answering, she subdued him with two strikes, Advaya couldn't believe his eyes as he saw himself pinned on the ground.
Advaya's heart raced as he found himself pinned to the ground by the enigmatic woman. The suddenness and swiftness of her actions left him breathless. He struggled to regain his composure and muster the words to continue the conversation.
With a calm but commanding voice, the woman spoke, her eyes fixed on his. "Before I teach you anything, you must first learn humility and patience. You have potential, but arrogance is your greatest enemy. If you wish to learn, you must first be willing to listen and to be humbled."
