The clash of steel resounds in my mind,
Echoing in the dull thud of foam
As two weapons clash,
Dangerous, yet safe at the same time.
My eyes are alight in a burning passion,
Screaming in delight at the battle
As my hands move swiftly, swinging
Wildly the heavy blade, light in my hands.
I pause. A numb pain throbs in my leg,
Mirroring a sharp cut, slicing into my flesh.
I drop, losing my leg from a cut of foam
But still I continue fighting.
Again I am hit, this time in my arm.
It stings from the dull hit of foam,
While blood pours from the deep wound.
My arm is gone, and I am dead.

oooooooooooohhhh. Now I get it. Thanks for explaining! Makes much more sense!

Yep, I apologize for the lack of explanation earlier. I should've known better.

The warrior within, defeated at last,
his defensive skill too much surpassed...
Only to be fully alive once more;
in for the next round, waiting to score.
^.^ Thank you for bringing belegarth to Clemson!

You wish you were getting killed in a sword fight? I'm confused?

good point... I should probably explain what belegarth is, although getting killed in a sword fight wouldn't be too bad xD. I added the note, hopefully it will explain things.
