ADAM POV
What was the saying again? "If you know yourself and know thy enemy, you need not fear the result of a thousand battles. If you know yourself but not your enemy, for every victory gained there is a defeat to be suffered. But if you know neither yourself nor your enemy, YOU WILL SUCCUMB IN EVERY BATTLE." I'm sure the gods made this statement the minute I stepped into this situation, because why else? Why else would I need to face such an absurd situation?
It felt like the world had stopped in these few seconds as I stared in awe at this monster in human clothing. How else could I describe it? It felt like he deflected everything I threw at him. Was I no match for him? Was a dragon no match for him?
