For the past few days,
Cargn had made himself more scarce around the crew than he usually did.
Not that many would notice. He rarely spent much time among the crew, instead usually spending his time busying himself with things only a few might understand the significance of.
Yet now, just as quietly as he had slipped away, he had returned. For the moment, he was training in the sensoriums with his Nemesis Halberd, his robe pulled down to his waist to allow for better freedom of movement.
It was easy to see the countless scars he had earned over the centuries, though there were two wounds in particular that looked fresh from the previous battle. One was in his stomach, which appeared to be healing well, despite the fact that he had been impaled.
The other, however, was more glaring. His right arm was gone, replaced with a technologically crude yet masterfully crafted cybernetic prosthetic. The polished surface was intricately etched with devotional prayers and holy symbols inlaid with gold. In time, the luster would fade as the arm would be worn down with age and use, but for now, it was a rather odd sight.
Silently, he stood in the sensoriums, striking at holographic targets while wielding his massive halberd in only his new, metallic hand. It was obvious he had been at it for a good while, as blood began to seep out of where the arm connected to his shoulder. Every so often, he would stop, allowing the Larraman's Cells in his blood to rapidly build up scar tissue in a matter of minutes before starting again, each time slowly building up the connection between flesh and steel.
There was a dark look on his face as he trained. It was obvious he was deep in thought, yet as usual, it was impossible to gauge what he was really thinking.
