Anyways...I've finished writing the latest chapter of Lynesse and will start editing later tonight or tomorrow. All depends on how well I'm doing.
Here's a small unedited excerpt of what to look forward to:
My body twisted and turned to avoid my opponents. I also moved to gather momentum so that Heartsbane would be a force to be reckoned with. As a Valyrian sword it was more than deadly, but it needed speed to cause any damage. A war cry came unbidden from my lips as the Dothraki finally fell down.
He looked pleased to have fought such a foe as me. As he walked to fight another sparring session, I knew he would insist on battling me again. He would want the pride of defeating me to help he rise among his own people.
Before I could reflect anymore about the Dothraki, Grey Worm's sword came mere inches from drawing blood. I both dove to my right and held up my sword to stop his weapon from piercing me. The time for reflection was over so I allowed my body to guide me. When it told me to go left or right, I did so without question.
Yet even with my best fighting techniques, I was no match for Grey Worm. He had been trained endlessly while my childhood teachings had been more diverse. I knew a lot more about the world than he did but that didn't help me in our fight. There was no chance I would best him now, but I wouldn't let him know how much he had broken me.
Grey Worm swung his blade and I knew this would be the end for me. No matter what I did, Heartsbane would not be able to protect me any longer. But swung my blade I did. As it cut through the air I felt despair and a yearning for the impossible to happen. My friend did not show any sign he cared, hopefully that same expression was on my face.
