Chivalry, virtue, honor, skill, strength, keen of mind, full of heart, that is what it is to be a true Warrior.

A warrior, must be able to adapt to any situation at a moments notice.

A warrior, must be able to focus on many things at once without faltering.

A warrior, must not be so close-minded as to assume he/she is a better fighter than his/her opponent.

A warrior must never falter in his/her decisions.

A warrior must hold to his/her morals, no matter what.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, a warrior must realize this and work hard to increase their strengths while also working to strengthen their weaknesses.

A warrior's weapon whether sword/staff/pike/dagger/ect, must be thought of as a part of their own being. It must co-exist as one with him/her.

A warrior must always continue to practice and improve. A duel lost is not the end of the world, (unless you happen to die from said duel or get crippled >.> ) it is a lesson to be learned.

You must strive to become better in every way. Do not limit yourself to one style. Learn a variety of them, then form your own style. Once you have done this you can call yourself a true warrior.

A lot of the said above applies to non-combat people and real life issues. Do not close your mind to other ideas. Do not ever consider yourself better than someone else. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. The key is to work on them heighten your strengths and improve upon the weaknesses. Life in general is hard. Those who preserve through the dark times and never give up, will eventually find the light they so longed for.

Well this was definitely one of my more interesting free writes lol it went from warrior stuff to the unexpected. Though that is what free writes do they loosen the writers block and form something that is usually unexpected.
