-
As you would an opponent in the arena,
-
absent thought of mercy.
-
Father--
-
We all have lessons that must learned.
-
I would have this my final test.
-
And in its completion, knowledge that I am readied
-
to face those trained in your arts upon field of battle.
-
You ask me to kill you.
-
I command you to try.
-
Then you command my death.
-
If you're victorious, it will be at the cost of my life.
-
If you fall to my sword, my life is equally forfeit.
