63. A robed hero with a pony-tail.

Standing akimbo, still.

Slow moves, a dance deliberate & conscious.

skillful, noble, graceful

Sword poised.

Then suddenly flashing,

Parrying razor sharp knives

Stop! … slow arching step.

Focused, determined – eyes show good heart

Then bedlam – the swordsman slashes

Lightning speed meditated calm.

A dozen black-clad antagonists dead.

The swordsman unruffled.

The swordsman?

SHINTARO!
