I couldn't begin to know how many hours I spent sat next to the door of my cabin on the ship, but when I looked up at the porthole over the bed in my room I could tell the moon was already high in the sky and it was already well into the night. I wonder if Ronan is still out there. What am I even saying, of course he is still out there. Since I've calmed down enough I should go apologize to him in the only way I know how. I walked over to the side of my bed and grabbed my sword that was placed against the wall. As I walked to the door of my room I let out a big sigh and slowly opened the door. There he was sitting with his legs crossed in the middle of the hall way waiting for me. I wonder how many people walked by him thinking how weird this guy was. As soon he saw me he stood erect and bowed to me bending his body a perfect ninety degrees.
"Elesis, please accept my formal apology. Because of my ignorance I have caused you far greater pain than I have ever wished to inflect upon you."
I walked out the door and placed my right hand on his shoulder.
"Meet me topside in two minutes, bring your sword." I told him.
Ronan straightened himself and nodded in agreement and left for his room next to mine. I quickly made my way topside and took in the salty night air that enveloped the night radiance of the ship. The wood of the ship creaked ominously as the sails of this grand vessel flapped against the wind. I walked to center of ships main deck area. There was on sail in the center whose mast was thicker than three full grown men standing shoulder to shoulder. The sail pierced into the night sky as if it was reaching for the bright full moon the illuminated the deck. The ships main deck was large enough to house at least two hundred people at the same time easily. As I heard the footsteps of someone approaching from the cabin halls I readied my sword in the direction of the stairs to see Ronan appear in front of me. His long blue hair danced behind him against the cold wind of the seas. He walked towards me stopping ten feet in front of me with his sword to his side. I grabbed my swords hilt tight and pointed my sword in Ronan's direction while taking a defensive stance.
"En garde." I said while taking a small shuffle toward him.
Ronan un-sheathed his blade and took up a defensive stance. Our eyes locked onto each other. His deep ocean blue eyes peered into the fire of crimson that where my eyes trying to make sense of what I was trying to accomplish. My foot creaked against the wood of the ship and time seemed to freeze as we stared into each other eyes and for what seemed like an eternity we stood there almost as if we could talk to each other from just the looks we gave each other. It was then after this long wait for action I lunged toward him with my sword trailing behind me as both hands held tight to the hilt of the blade. It was in less than a heartbeat I closed the distance between us and swung my sword parallel from the ground at Ronan's side. Right before my sword could connect with the strike Ronan's sword came to his side position and perfectly blocked my oncoming attack sending the sound of clashing steel screaming into the night sky. He masterfully pushed my sword away and brought his sword up and quickly brought it down upon me. I didn't have enough time to block with my sword so I pushed my body close to his and brought myself right between his arms as his hands brought his sword down behind me and his arms enveloped me and with our faces mere inches from each other I head butted him square in the nose.
