I’m a warrior.  I carry my sword with pride.  My armor glints in the light of the moon and my hair flows out behind me in a gust of superficial wind. 
My horse whinnies its prerecorded whinny.

Captain rides in front.  “Men!  We gather today to fight!” 
Stupid line.  But who cares, I didn’t write it.

We brandish swords and charge.  Enemies fall in perfect time to my swing.  Parry, thrust, kill.  We’ve gotten good at this.

Now the battle’s over.  I have one single cut.  My hair is perfectly styled. 
Battle cannot hurt me.  
They’d lose too many fans.
