chapter 2

I am on a roll now. Ok so here is chapter 2 from my book.

I started off with a practice of lunges, followed by a parry of invisible sword and a slash to finish the fight. The tiles on the roof felt rough against my feet as I started the exercise the cool wind blowing my dark red hair about. I continued on with my exercise imagining I was facing a swordsman equal to mine own skill. I lunged at him but he quickly side stepped and swung at my head. I blocked his attack and sliced his leg with a smooth crescent shaped slice I could feel the rough sand like substance rub off on to my feet while I completed this attack, I paid no attention and continued on the assault. I could see him slightly wounded in his right leg which allowed me to gain the advantage. He jumped at me but I was faster and I made two quick slices to his leg and his side. AS my opponent attacked my next he was faster than I had reacted and imagined him getting a heavy strike to my right arm. With the immobility of my right arm I began the practice with my left. I was much slower and suffered many more non lethal glancing hits to my legs. Finally I rushed my shadow enemy blocked his sword and with an a quick slice decapitated my enemy. I lay down on the roof and relaxed, I gave myself a couple minutes to recuperate from my training. I sat quietly as I watched the sun rise over the trees and readied myself for another day of work. I took a last final breath of the fresh morning air and made my way back inside.
