She's the best fighter I've ever seen. She's magnificent. I can't ever come close to her glory. I can hardly even describe it.
I trained her in Shang ways. If she had started learning before age eight, she'd definitely be the Shang Unicorn. I don't doubt that at all.
I met her, and she completely stunned me. This was the Lioness? I'm sure she questioned me as well. She was probably even critical of me. I, however, could never be critical of her.
After I began to know her, my respect and admiration for her grew. I began to know her faults and insecurities, and love them just as much as I loved her ambition and skill.
But we were not meant to be, I had thought. A smaller Gift I could have handled, but her Gift was enormous. I began to fear her as I had never feared any woman or man.
In my heart, I knew that I still loved her. But I couldn't see how we could work things out.
Now I will fight, as she requested of me. And after this battle, then I will confess to her that I always will love her.
Maybe she feels the same way.
And maybe we can have another chance.
