Aragorn could not believe that he was actually winning. He noticed Shadow's slight grimace when the Elf blocked his last attack. As he saw his mentor rushed him, he knew the Elf was going to use his favorite move. He waited and bade his time, hoping to defeat Shadow the way he had Glorfindel five years ago. As his mentor twisted, he swung his sword to strike the Elf's unprotected left. As Aragorn watched the edge of his training sword approached his mentor's side, his mind was ready to scream with the joy of victory.
