A few weeks after the attack, Aaron had brainwashed Zaron partially. Brainwashing might not be the correct word to use since he still knew everything he did before then, but he had become completely loyal to Aaron.
Throughout the weeks that had past, Zaron took charge of training Nora in swordsmanship. Aaron encouraged Nora to switch to swordsmanship saying she had a better talent for that than magic. It went smoothly and Nora made progress in her use of the swords, and in addition also tried out some other weapons that Zaron could teach, and of course all the weapons they used were wooden weapons made by Aaron. Giving the fact that it had only been two weeks, she hadn't learned much apart from the basics, and still had to train her body to be strong enough and in shape for fighting in this manner.
