Koda looks a bit younger here to me, somewhere in his teens, first gear and basic sword. Every warrior's got to start off somewhere, right?

Perhaps he's just taken down his first crop-burning dragon, or a minor imp or smaller troll that was plaguing a village. Either way, he looks pretty smug about it.

If he keeps that up, though, the elder swordmaster is likely to kick his tail to show him he's got quite a bit to learn yet!
