Azerus leads you up a staircase, down another, through a room full of coffins and finally to a room with only a single coffin that has been pushed off to the side. The center of the room has been cleared, and many weapons line the walls. Standing in the middle of the room is a dark-skinned, golden-haired Mystic wearing elaborate golden armor. Ignoring your presence, she completes a complicated series of attacks, apparently against an imaginary opponent, before turning to you.
"A human here to take the tour, Princess Lion," Azerus explains, then wanders over to examine one of the swords displayed on the wall.
Princess Lion runs a skeptical eye over you, then nods. "Right. Well, if you're here, then you must want to learn how to fight. I'm not one to waste words, so let's get down to business. Choose your weapon, and I'll show you a few attacks."

Exhausted after your sparring match with the Princess, you thank her for the tips and replace your weapon on the wall. Seeing that you're done, Azerus walks over to you with one last, longing look at the sword--you recognize it as an expensive Asura. "Okay, where do you want to go next?"
