My Warrior Princess
by Hudson Halliwell

That warcry. Oh, how I relish it. She's coming here, for me, because of what I've done. I'm an eternal part of her and she's a part of me. Our fates, our destinies… they are undeniably intertwined. Everything I am is for her. My body, my soul, it doesn't belong to me; not even close. It belongs to her, only her. This physical form is just a vessel for the bubbling anticipation within. With every gallop of her golden horse, my pulse quickens another mile. I can barely contain myself. I scream bloody murder, and it feels so good to release this energy; this passion. It's for her alone. And she knows. I draw my sword, the most reliable instrument I have with which to communicate, preparing to make love in violent form.

I hear that familiar hiss cutting through the air; it kisses my ears every time. That ferocious disk whirls through the burning village around me, knocking around the embers spawned from my own wild passion. It suddenly comes to rest in my hand, where I caress its bladed physique before throwing it to the ground beside me. I see her cut right through me with that icy glare. Nothing can shake her. She is in complete control of the world around her. Her universe is stable where mine is fragile. The slightest pressure, the tiniest vibration, and everything crumbled. The pieces scatter near and far, and before I know it, they're long gone.

I scream again, and she answers with a bestial cry of her own, meeting me in a charge as we flip beside each other, swords drawn. We clash, meeting blow for blow. I live for this. I want this to go on forever. Suddenly, I see her eyes shift. This game is getting even better; she's spotted her chakram lying in the dirt behind us. I quickly move to trip her up, but she can't fall for that. She's too good. She's already felled half my army; she and her companion. But her companion doesn't matter; she needs to be exterminated so that my fire can spread its wings unimpeded. The bard's name isn't even worthy of passing my lips.

Soon, I find myself overrun, and I beat a hasty retreat to live another meeting with my soul, my life, my destiny. My Warrior Princess.
