My hands and arms are sweaty

Sweat filled with the anticipation

The anticipation of a little sound

The sound of the beginning and the end

I hear it yet don't react

Instead I find you and lock eyes

You smile and I know

By your eyes there’s no mercy

There’s a silence in the midst of a battle

I know in this silence that I am your victim

I am your victim and you aim to kill

I finally react and move my feet

Only to feel the pain of your kill

The pain that has turned to numbness

Numbness spreading throughout my arms

Although it pains me I stick it

Your kill was deflected

Deflected to my ally

My ally who uses your kill to kill you

There is silence for a second

Then I hear it, the tiny sound

It sounds the beginning and the end

I hear it

This time is different

I hear a roar seconds after the tiny sound

I know that this is the end

The war is finally over

At the end I feel it

I know I have won

I fought through each battle

In the end I have won
