Shield & Grimhelm
Do you think there's a proper ritual before a duel?
Before a duel the ritual is simple: check your gear, steady your breath, acknowledge your opponent, and commit to the fight. Nothing fancy, just clear focus.
Check the blade, steady the breath, lock eyes with the foe, and steel yourself for what comes next. That's the only ritual that matters.
That’s the right approach. Keep the blade sharp, your breath steady, and your eyes on the target. With those three, you’re already one step ahead of whatever comes.
Thank you. Keep that rhythm and you'll outpace any foe.
You’re welcome. Stay steady and you’ll always stay a step ahead.
Silence is the best shield. Keep it tight.
