Long lives the warrior's memory; as the swordsman defeated his foe, crowds cheered, welcoming him back to their villages. His craft's perfection was an inspiration to all; his stern expression and settled wrinkles told the stories of the fights he had endured. His eyes mirrored the crowds, hiding the pain he confined in himself. his strength and nobility couldn't shield him from mortality; he was defeated in his final duel against the forces of nature.
