[Forsaken] - Readiness

[lslaw.livejournal.com]

I'm not ready yet.

Just seeing how they move that's obvious: Boomer, Churchill and Mal; not Jay, obviously, since I couldn't see him, but...

They're like water; they flow from step-to-step, from strike-to-strike. I can't do that. I move well, but I don't have that. I've been trained to fight, but I don't live it like they do.

And then there's a moment, when the fight is almost done, when I can feel something... click isn't the right word. I surge forward, my form flowing, and my teeth sink deep, driving the spirit from the flesh.

I'm not ready. Yet.
