"This will be my weapon for a while, I guess. Doesn't seem like I'll be upgrading it anytime soon," Zane muttered under his breath as he slowly swung the newly acquired blade through the air.
He moved carefully, deliberately—his grip unsure, his stance unbalanced. Zane had never held a real sword before, much less tried swinging one around. Every movement felt foreign.
