Thoughts of a troubled Warrior

I still don't understand. These feelings... I should not have them. I am a warrior of the highest calliber, I have killed thousands, wiped out entire civilizations ... and yet this woman brings me to my knees. Have I become weak? Have these creatures brought forth a weakness I long thought defeated? How could this have happened? ...I know. It's all his fault. If it wasn't for him I would not even be here. That bastard is no warrior, yet he surpasses me every time! Everytime I reach a new plauteu of power he comes in and somehow surpasses me! I have spent many a hour pondering how he could do this. One day i swallowed my pride and asked. You know what he said? He told me " Because their are people I need to protect.". Thats his source of power? Friends... family... do they really make you stronger? I always believed them a distraction, something that only gets in the way. But now i find myself with this urge. An urge to better myself for her. That damn woman! How can she have this affect on me?! I am not supposed to have a heart, nor a soul!. But these feeling will not go away. Maybe... maybe he was right. I want to become stronger... to protect her. I guess... in the end... I do understand... if only a little.
