MATTHEW >> ARES << JONES
16
----------------------------------------
A warning to the people
the good and the evil
this is war.
----------------------------------------
Matthew slung his dual swords over his shoulders as he looked around the arena. People shooting at straw dummies with bows and arrows, kids slashing swords at each other. It kind of made him laugh. People did this everyday around here. He only got to do it every once and a while back in New Orleans. He walked over to a free dummy, and pulled his swords off his shoulders.
He took a deep breath, then raised his swords. He began slashing at the dummy, as if he were fighting Kronos himself. He smiled as each slash left a tear in the dummy. After a just a few minutes, the dummy had been destroyed. Matthew spat on the ground. "Too easy. I need a real person to fight," he said, looking around.

the soldier, the civilian
the barter, the victim
this is war.
