== History ==
Eight years later Kenton, in an attempt at showing his father that he deserved advancement to the rank of mastrell, the highest rank, insisted on attempting the [[Mastrell's Path]]. His father tried to block him saying that he was not powerful enough. The two of them have another argument about Kenton's abilities. Kenton turned to undermastrell [[Elorin]] who allowed him to attempt the Path. Praxton tried to block Kenton from taking his sword with him, but Kenton took it anyway as it was not explicitly forbidden. Kenton succeeds in his run through the Path, finding six spheres rather than the usual five. In the process he used his sword to kill the [[terken]] deep [[sandling]], specifically a Marken, that was a central part of the Path, destroying it forever. Rather than being proud of his son's accomplishment, Praxton seemed to be disappointed with what he had done.

He, along with the rest of the sand masters present, drank from the ceremonial water bowl that Elorin had poisoned with [[KaDo]].{{book ref|ws3|6}} He distributed the sashes to all of the masters who were advanced.

Due to the KaDo the Kerztians gained the upper hand in the fight, and were massacring the sand masters. Praxton was disabled for most of the fight as many of his fellow sand masters were being slaughtered. Praxton was able to recover enough for one final attack, and unleashed a massive wave of sand across the entire battlefield, indiscriminately targeting hundreds of combatants, friend and foe alike. Praxton was killed during this final attack, being struck by dozens of arrows, however his attack protected Kenton by burying him in sand and ended the battle.{{book ref|ws1|2}}
During Kenton's duel with Drile, he remembered his fights with Praxton, and it inspired him, giving him the courage to rise again and fight back.{{book ref|ws3|6}}
