A Dance with the Dark Side,Vaapad vs Djem So.
I close my eyes,slowly slipping away
Can you feel me in the Force?
A sinking surrender,
Like a exhausted swimmer,
Drowning in a rising tide.
Slipping into Vaapad.
My eyes open once more,then close again
Only to give my enemy a slight nod,
barely a show of respect.
I open them again,
They smoked with darkness.
Exhaling deeply
Relaxing,drawing another deep breath
Only to repeat, I shed the burdens of a Jedi,
To reach a deeper more receptive state of mind,
transforming myself into a conduit, accepting his fury,
accepting his hatred,
Transforming into a superconducting loop,
Connecting his fury,his hatred,along my inner darkness and my tranquil fury.
Which passes in and out through me,
In which I channel back towards my enemy.
I completely give myself to Vaapad,
My enemy,stands light saber, ignited,
Feigning a single - handed low guard,with the blade
angled downward at his side.
He draws a rapid "X" in the air with his blade,
I mirror his reply whipping my blade in curving slashes,
creating a constant near- invisible weave of lethal energy
Which flowed one into next with liquid precision.
This is the ready stance of Vaapad.
He advanced.
His crimson blade whirred,mine whirred faster.
The dance have begun,
Blood thirsty red vs Dark as night black.
How many blades do you see?
Our blades met with a horrified clash!
It was if the blackness of my blade was quickly trying to extinguish
the bright blood red color of his lightsaber.
Again,our blades lock,neither giving way,
Neither taking their eyes off the other.
His feigned attempt of Makashi was only an illusion
To quickly switch to Djem So 's Falling Avalanche,
followed by a fluid riposte.
Mimicing the elegant foot work of Makashi,
I side stepped,left then right,evading both attacks.
And quickly followed through with several of Assured strikes
Which successfully ended with a lightsaber butt to his head
followed by a mark of contact,Shiim.
Scarring his left arm and right leg.
To be continued. At a later date.
