He faces his foe

Hands grip at his sword

Amber eyes glared

Blue returned the stare

Does the hero fear?

It does not matter

Courage overcomes

They raise there swords high

Clang, clang their swords clash

Sparks fly and ears ring

Parry, slash, dodge, strike

The great dance of swords

The hero stands tall

Analyzing it

This situation

The hero retreats

Equipping his bow

A shiver of fear

Runs down his foe's back

In one quick movement

A shining arrow

Notched and aimed

Let the arrow fly

With a flash of light

It pierces his heart

The enemy falls

Life drains from his eyes

Blood pools on the floor

The hero's foe dies

Eyes now stare blankly

With his duty done

The hero departs

To head for his home

For it now lies there

In his lover's heart
