Retrieval


at the feet of the guardian, her sword lies
quickly glancing at its location,
she spins to the left...  then to the right...
avoiding her opponent's blade...
a taunting smile appears on her face
her eyes fixed and loaded with contempt,
she bends, avoiding another blade
the flips her body upright while at the
same time scooping up her weapon,
landing behind his carelessness...
as she spins...  so too does the warrior
putting the front side of his body
in direct contact with the razor sharp
blade, almost splitting his body in half;
his surprise prevents the silent scream
caught in his throat...  his eyes bulge
from the pressure inside...  a lifeless
body crashes down on the hard soil;
she wastes no time with a smile nor
does she await the arrival of his friends
bursting into the courtyard...
with a look to the sky and outstretched
arms, the ship above retrieves her.
