The Spartans

Seeing as how the warrior is much more heavy and less nimble than you, you decide your best option is your incredible speed. without hesitation you run at the man with your sword held high. Right before you get to him however you side-step him and leap into the air. with one quick motion you bring your sword down upon him ;however, it bounces off of something and never connects with flesh. You wonder what happend as you turn around to see the man facing you, smiling. He had managed to block your attack but how? Now you are caught offguard as he rushes you and knocks you to the ground. You obviously underestimated his speed and it is the last mistake you ever make as he brings the mighty warhammer down upon your skull...
