[quote]In battle there are plenty of things that might kill you. Swords,
arrows, fire, horses, a slick patch of grass, a wizard who's hungover. Ample threats to life and limb. But nothing kills a man in battle faster, or more certainly, than the impulse to freeze up in fear.[/quote]

Marcon read Je Tsong's "Battle Mind" on a sunny afternoon in a cloistered garden. On this bloody morning of bells and worgs, the lessons in it do not desert him. Looking to the shaft in his shoulder, he follows backwards with his eyes the path it took tp get there.

When the archer is not visible, he draws again and aims as best he can back at the arrow's origin. When its owner pops up againn Marcon will repay the debt of blood.

As the goblin peeks around the casement, Marcon's arrow buries itself to the fletching in the creature's eye socket. In the square, the young warrior grunts in satisfaction.
