SWORDPLAY

Its been ages since I've seen him, and it'll be ages more until I see him again. Its time to finish what we started years ago; he's still as wild as ever, but somehow, he's humbled. Could that be because of me? I have no idea. Enough introspective thinking, time to end it!

His sword rushes in at me. I parry. I kick him and he falls in a cloud of dust. I lean in and press my blade to his throat, he smiles, chuckles and walks away again. I could've killed him, but after all, its only swordplay.
