For the next several days, Drax took complete control of Ka'z's newly formed squad. From dawn until nightfall he drilled them relentlessly, correcting every stance, every throw and every mistake with the stern efficiency expected of a veteran soldier.
Ka'z only checked on them briefly each day before disappearing once more into the prison chambers or his hidden training cave. No one complained.
The deeper Ka'z delved into arrays, the more stunned he became. They were not merely larger or stronger spells as he had initially assumed. Arrays were living magical formations built from countless interconnected runes that continued functioning long after the caster had stopped casting. Every rune represented a single word of power, yet when combined together according to strict grammatical laws, they became instructions rather than incantations.
