Before the Battle

This day has brought us to our enemy, waiting in the valley below to receive us. The stillness of night brings little solace. At mornings light we will meet in fierce battle, and the peaceful fields will echo with the sounds of war. Tomorrow eve, blood stained grass will cradle the dead. If victory stands with me, then I shall smile, but if death calls out my name, let it find me standing, with sword in hand.

This one is for blbarrett, the 3D blacksmith who forged that incredible sword. Thanks buddy, it's a real beauty.
