The choices HAD been made, and this thing wasn't about to let me leave without a fight. I knew that now. I was going to have to take this thing head on whether I liked it or not. I readied myself, and consciously took a battle stance as I prepared to defend myself. It was almost as though the figure was smiling...finally getting the fight it was looking for.

I ran towards it, carefully calculating each punch, each kick, to make it connect with as much power as I possibly could muster. But the shadow was able to easily keep up. It was practically toying with me, blocking or dodging every single one of my blows with ease. I thought about how to find a way through his defenses, but the harder I tried to rationalize my strength and speed, the easier it became for him to block it. Whatever this dark figure was, he had a lot more training than I did, and his body reacted all on it's own without a single thought. It made me wonder...if I could do the same.
