Son of Endless Night
The Son of Endless Night
Swung his sword slowly in an arc
His movements spare and tight
Geometric perfection in the dark
He determined the dimensions of this space
Probed to detect the ceiling height
Then allowed his sword to trace
Each wall's length from left to right
He then allowed himself to rest
Found clarity within
Knew he'd be measured as the best
When the predators stepped in.

Preparation of the attack will always have a better result of maximum damage.

I'm glad you enjoyed this, Loki, but this Son of Endless Night is actually a ronin, a displaced samurai waiting for his trackers. Your interpretation is still quite valid due to my meager info.
