Completely reckless, I charged forward <br />advancing quickly toward her retreating form. <br />I gazed in concave eyes, her left arm stirred <br />unimpressed by the fury of my scorn. <br /> <br />I raised my hand and lunged with my knife; <br />she quickly sidestepped and I felt a blow <br />befall the right side of my head cold as ice, <br />stunned, I kissed the ground, then shaken rose. <br /> <br />She was more agile than expected <br />accomplished with the weapon of her craft, <br />I was more cautious, feinting, protecting <br />my flank as the witch spun her deadly staff. <br /> <br />I circled wide looking for a weakness <br />hunched over keeping my head and body low, <br />pressing close, hard, then retreating <br />as her eyes shone with a venomous glow. <br /> <br />I switched knife hands blade in then jutting out; <br />she countered with unimaginable skill, <br />I used the uneven stones to create a rout <br />moving in sharply for the kill. <br /> <br />I grasped her and splayed her upon the altar; <br />she kicked away my knife cutting her leg, <br />I attempted strangling with renewed fervor <br />ridding the world of this treasonous sage. <br /> <br />Powerful spells, words spewing from her lips <br />hoarse incantations with bedeviling sounds <br />unknowing I slowly loosened my grip, <br />her staff knocked me unconscious to the ground.<br /><br />Captain Cur<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bewitching-battle-on-curdi-pirate-adventures-16/
