-insert "And my axe!" meme-

Artorias would not be kept waiting long before his son entered the dojo, Solaire striding in with a happy bounce in his step, his massive great axe slung across his back. The sire eyed the cumbersome weapon with a little trepidation and breathed a resigned sigh. Between Solaire and Thorn, his largest sons did love their matching huge weapons… Well, so long as they were safe with them, that was all that mattered, and it was up to him as their father and mentor to teach them the ways of the blade. Still, Artorias was proud of his son for taking on such a responsibility and showing an interest in a shared passion he could help guide.

"Good morning, Solaire! Are you ready to begin your training with your new weapon?" Artorias greeted his son with a toothy smile. He was still not 100% certain how he was going to teach Sol to use an axe like this, but hey, they’d both be learning by doing he supposed! Besides, how much different could fighting with an axe be than with a sword?
