The fight starts before the armor, before you pick up your stick, and before you step onto the field. It begins with an individual that is devoted to himself and understands the gravity of taking up arms against his fellow man.

Yesterday evening I carpooled up with a few friends to the dragon's laire rose tournament. The format was three killing blows during the course of the fight, arms and legs counting as kills, keeping your legs. The knights present took the field while the remainder of the fighters challenged for the right to earn a rose for themselves or for the inspiration of the victor. Out of 5 holding the field I took home three roses, not a bad day at all. We had to fight quickly due to the rapidly fading light, reduced visibility makes for poor sparing, and pick-ups were fierce in the over head lights.

On the ride home we discusses a few things I needed to focus on in the future, and be aware of in the long run to avoid social faux pas both on and off of the field.
