How Did I Do

she defied her captors staring at their vile faces, she slowly unsheathed her sword Her vacant hazel eyes dared them to kill her never losing contact her face was fearless as they approached five against one she made a formidable adversary slashing and killing they had not expected this much fury from an unassuming woman she was a tornado, a sand storm, a tsunami there was a solid viciousness about her. She kept slashing and killing until four lay dead how did I do? She asked the survivor. He put his hands up and backed away. Believing her reputation at last. Spreading her truth himself. To anyone who would listen. Warning them.
