So, you’ve finally arrived,

It is time, my friend, for us to start,

You’ve accepted my offer, my subtle hints you’ve derived,

Now we stand here on the same field ready to learn this art,

I can see it in your eyes, your desire to fight,

Through the blade we shall know each other even better,

Soon enough we shall suit up together with the same goal in sight,

To become better each day, to be our best and maybe one day earn that letter,

When the time comes and you are ready, we shall battle,

It is in battle that people like you and I come alive,

When we play the role we cause the opponent to quake and rattle,

Come, let us dance, imagining that this is our only means to survive,

My friend, my brother, it brings me such joy that you’re here,

Together we shall have merry times and merry days,

Times of combat, laughter and cheer,

It is time, Ryan, for I see it in your gaze.
