And you did it. That took courage, and determination.
And I think that's all it really takes. Real fighting... it's not the part where you run at danger with metal in your hand. It's the part where you beat down the fear enough to make the first step. Whether it's because you wanna protect someone, or make things right, or... just do something.
I'm a pretty cowardly guy, to be honest. But if someone else's life or heart's on the line... I can't afford to sit by and do nothing, either. It's just a plus sometimes that having the skill of waving a sword around comes in handy.
