Here and Now
Tonight, the last of my companions has fallen asleep. I am alone to watch guard. Will I stand in honor of victory or defeat? For me to lose my waking awareness would be detrimental. A strike or siege comes best at a time the defenders least expect.
“A dagger in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn.”
I remember this in the veil of shadows, leaning stealthy against wall and unseen pattern. The rustle of leaves will not distract my zeal and finesse. Soon will come moments of utmost mortal importance.
