Impatient to gain glory, he needs to learn patience and commitment and come to understand that the training of the mind is every bit as important as the training of the body.As the story develops, the thoughts and ideals of his youth are severely challenged and he must decide the path he will follow.

The pressure to win only intensifies when Ebon learns that only by winning can he help his beloved Caliel.
